This report follows the Windmill Point marsh habitat development project. The marsh was constructed in the James River between November 1974 and February 1975, then studied for benthic invertebrates, fish, wildlife, plants and soil characteristics from the summer of 1976 to fall of 1977.

"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 a survey of terrestrial ecology and preliminary botanical monitoring of Nott Island, Connecticut to accompany a report on habitat field investigations of the Nott Island Upland Habitat Development Site in Connecticut.

Appendix containing an inventory of prepropagation terrestrial resources at the Miller Sands Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site in Oregon. It accompanies a report entitled, "Habitat Development Field Investigations, Miller Sands Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site, Columbia River, Oregon; Summary Report".

Appendix outlining the baseline inventory of aquatic biota to accompany a report on habitat development field investigations in the Bolivar Peninsula Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site in Galveston Bay, Texas.

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

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.

The information provided in this report follows the investigations of the use of dredged material islands made by colonial nesting seabirds and wading birds in Texas initiated in October 1976.

This summary report is part of a series documenting the field site investigations conducted by the Habitat Development Project initiated to study for more definitive information on the environmental impact of dredging and dredged material disposal operations. This report documents tasks such as: (a) Effects of Marsh and Terrestrial Disposal, (b) Marsh Development, (c) Terrestrial Habitat Development, (d) Aquatic Habitat Development, and (e) Island Habitat Development.

From preface: "This report presents the results of an investigation of factors influencing plant zonation and succession on salt marshes."

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."

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).

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.

Appendix containing physical, chemical and biological studies of conditions at Miller Sands Island to accompany a report of the Miller Sands Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site, Columbia River, Oregon.

Abstract: "This report summarizes the importance of common species of salt marsh plants inhabiting wetlands of the eastern U.S. coast. An evaluation of the ecological significance of the plants is based on their rates of primary production, morality, and contribution of detritus to the estuarine dependent systems. The data are important in reaching decisions relative to the deposition of dredged material in these coastal wetland systems."

From preface: "This report summarizes the results of a comprehensive investigation of the impact of open-water dredged material disposal by barges in Elliot Bay, a portion of Puget Sound Estuary, Washington."

From abstract: "This report presents a detailed discussion of he results obtained in a study conducted to evaluate the release of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) during open-water disposal of contaminated dredged material in Elliot Bay, Puget Sound, Washington."

From preface: "This report contains the results of investigations of the chemical and sedimentological characteristics of the James River Artificial Habitat Development Site and a reference marsh near Windmill Point, Virginia. Studies were conducted in the channel before dredging and during site construction as well as at specific time intervals after marsh development."

This report follows a two-part study made to investigate the hydraulic regime and physical nature of bottom sedimentation in the vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia River where disposal of large quantities of dredged material that has occurred over the last several decades.

This report summarizes the investigations of soil properties, aquatic biota, and wildlife held in the marshland and upland communities on dredged material behind a sandbag dike at Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston Bay, Texas.
