"This report describes work performed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPS), Environmental research laboratory, Narragansett, R.I. (ERLN), as part of the Interagency Field verification of Testing and predictive Methodologies for Dredged Material Disposal Alternatives Program or the Field Verification Program (FVP)."

"This is one in a series of scientific reports documenting the findings of studies conducted under the Interagency Field Verifications of Testing and Predictive Methodologies for Dredged Material Disposal Alternatives (referred to at the Field Verification Program or FVP). This program is a comprehensive evaluation of environmental effects of dredged material disposal under conditions of upland and aquatic disposal and wetland creation."

Appendix containing supplementary statistical data to accompany a report on habitat field investigations of the Windmill Point Marsh Development Site, James River, Virginia.

From executive summary: "This report summarizes work done on the dynamics of the underground portion of some of the salt marsh plants along the Atlantic coast of the United States, the characterizations of soils in those plant stands, and experiments on the substrate selective properties of several of the plants."

From abstract: Tests on the Chesapeake Bay hydraulic model were conducted to specifically investigate possible changes in the hydrodynamic characteristics of velocity, salinity, and tidal elevations associated with the proposed channel enlargements.

Appendix containing data on the recolonization of benthic macrofauna over a deep-water disposal site in the Duwamish River influenced portion of Elliott Bay. It accompanies a report on the chemical and physical effects of open-water disposal of dredged material from the Duwamish River into Elliot Bay as part of a study to determine the effects of disposal sites on organisms and the quality of surrounding water.

This report follows field investigations made to study the characteristics of turbidity plumes in the vicinity of open-water pipeline disposal operations.

From abstract: The Columbia Hybrid Modeling System was applied to the mouth of the Columbia River estuary to evaluate alternatives for reducing navigation channel maintenance dredging.

This report is Appendix A to the Buttermilk Sound marsh development summary report and presents the results of habitat development activities the marsh in Glynn County, Georgia. The activities were made between spring of 1975 and fall of 1977.

From preface: "This report presents a summary of studies conducted at Miller Sands Island, a tidal freshwater, dredged material disposal site in the Columbia River, Oregon. Studies were conducted from March 1975 to August 1977 to determine the feasibility of developing productive aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat on dredged material and to determine if development of wildlife habitat is a viable alternative to other dredged material disposal options."

Appendix containing supplementary analytical data to accompany a report on habitat development field investigations of the Windmill Point Marsh Development Site, James River, Virginia.

This report documents the dredging practices, reclamation methods, and environmental effects of dredging in western Europe that were studied with emphasis on their relevance to the Dredge Material Research Program (DMRP).

Appendix containing data tabulations taken in relation to the report on the propagation of vascular plans and post-propagation monitoring of botanical, soil, aquatic biota, and wildlife resources.
