Monitoring water quality effects of sediment capping in Hamilton Harbour 1995 / M.N. Charlton ... [et al.].: En13-5/97-105E-PDF
"Capping contaminated sediment with sand caused small plumes of silt from the sand. These plumes were confined to within a few meters of the bottom. Occasionally these plumes exceeded guidelines for suspended solids but, in open water, fish are thought to avoid these temporary conditions. Sediment resuspension due to the capping did not occur, this is encouraging given the soft sediment at the site. A generic technique was developed to efficiently detect, from a moving boat, sediment disturbance or suspended solids resulting from cleanup operations in contaminated sediment. The detection technique is used to direct water sampling thus avoiding the collection of hundreds of negative samples"--Management perspective.
