Partial abstract: The purpose of this study is to define the reliability with which results of tests conducted in a physical model of the Delaware River Estuary can be used to predict the effects of modifications to the estuary. The Delaware River model at the Waterways Experiment Station was used to conduct tests to predict the effects of the navigation channel enlargement between Philadelphia and Trenton, and the results of the tests are compared with subsequent prototype data to determine the accuracy of the model predictions.

Final report describing the results of experiments to test samples of rubber, synthetic rubber, and polyvinylchloride (PVC) to determine their suitability for use in nonmetallic waterstops. During the tests, each of the samples was exposed to various conditions and environments before evaluation. This report discusses longer exposures of materials, to follow the previous report in the series discussing an evaluation of the same tests.

From introduction: This study was conducted to determine the relative degree of pesticide contamination in four small drainage basins and to determine if pesticide residues were present in amounts that could be hazardous to humans or detrimental to aquatic life.
