Abstract
Description
A monitoring program of the physical and biological condition of bottom habitats within and surrounding the Charleston Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site was completed after the conclusion of disposal activities associated with the 1999-2002 Charleston Harbor Deepening Project. Approximately 20-25 million cubic yards of inner harbor and entrance channel materials were placed at the ODMDS as part of the project. Findings presented here include analyses of sediment characteristics, sediment contaminants, and benthic assemblages in the disposal zone, inner boundary zone, and outer boundary zone.
