• Abstract:
  This research developed an improved method for optimizing the disposal of dredged material ; at offshore disposal sites. A nonlinear programming model has been developed to assist in ; the development of dredging plans at open water disposal sites. The model has been ; developed based on conditions at the near-shore open water disposal site near the mouth of ; the Columbia River. The optimization model considers available capacity of cells within the ; disposal area to produce a dredging plan that minimizes mounding within the site. ; Ultimately, the optimal dumping plans will be loaded in the MDFATE computer program to ; simulate various stages of the dredging disposal cycle. Initial testing of the optimization ; model indicates that it produces reasonable dumping plans.
