Monitoring sediment capping operations in a harbour by optical and acoustical methods / by Paul F. Hamblin, David Zhu, Fausto Chiocchio, Cheng He, and Murray N. Charlton.: En13-5/97-138E-PDF

"This work is part of the cleanup of Hamilton Harbour which has been undertaken through the office of the Great Lakes Cleanup Fund. This work was done in order to determine the likelihood of disturbance to in place contaminated sediments by the sand capping method of sediment remediation. The study was undertaken during the summer of 1995. This study did not find any evidence of in-place sediment disturbance by the sinking sand jet. Future application of the technology outlined may be to monitor dredging operations of contaminated sediments for potential inadvertent releases. Recommendations for improvement of the monitoring procedures are given. It is intended to submit this report to a peer reviewed journal for possible publication. The information discussed in this report has been presented at the Great lakes Conference in Buffalo, NY, in June 1997"--Management perspective.
