• Abstract:
  This study develops a methodology to determine optimum disposal methods for dredging operations. It differs from previous assessment methods because it bases an optimum solution on both technical and nontechnical factors. The methodology has three components: (1) a dredged material placement assessment that considers various engineering, societal, environmental, and economic aspects of dredging; (2) a feasibility rating assessment that quantitatively transforms the qualitative analysis; and (3) an analysis component which summarizes the results. Case sites used to test the methodology are located along the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway in Texas and include High Island, Redfish Bay, Chocolate Bay, and a 30 km area near Port Mansfield.
