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).

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.

This report summarizes habitat development activities at the Nott Island Upland Habitat Development Site in the Connecticut River near Essex, Connecticut, including aspects of engineering, botany, soils, and wildlife.

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.

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

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."

This report is a compilation of reports made on the study of habitat development in Miller Sands Marsh and Upland Habitat Development Site in Columbia River, Oregon. This report provides data on birds, mammals, and terrestrial macroinvertebrates that were collected, analyzed, and compared with data from other regions of the United States.

This report represents the investigations made by Work Unit 2A07 regarding the experimental deposition of dredged material on salt marshes.

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."

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."

The following report describes work done by the Marine and Freshwater Ecology Branch, Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory (CERL), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Corvallis, Oregon. The study was conducted on the chemical and physical effects of open-water disposal of dredged material from the Duwamish River into Elliot Bay, Washington.

This report summarizes the results of investigations of the distribution of colonial seabirds and wading birds on New Jersey dredged material islands, of vegetation distribution and succession on dredged material islands, and of the interactions of vegetation and birds on dredged material islands.

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.

The following report documents the habitat relationships at 24 selected natural and dredged material colonial bird nesting sites and identifies the species and population sizes of all colonial nesting birds of the U.S. Great Lakes of up to 1.6 km inland.

From preface: "This report presents a summary of results of a 2.5-year field investigation (March 1975 to November 1977) of the feasibility and impact of developing marsh and upland habitat on dredged material at a site located at Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston Bay, Texas. The report summarizes baseline information derived before habitat development operations and results of post-development operations."

This report is the final report on the field investigations in Eaton's Neck Disposal Site, Long Island Sound.

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 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.
