  5. Material Settling State and Water Removal East End West End Spillway • Coarser material settles first near the inflow • Dredge material settles in a sloping manner as water flows west • Clean water is removed by Spillway • Effluent meets all CWA Requirements

  6. Dredged Material Placement Inflow Settling Water Removal Discharge of Water

  7. Craney Island Environmental Monitoring • Water Quality • Contractors are required to inspect effluent water every 4-hours, or 6-times per day. • Water quality testing for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is required 2-times per day. • Additional testing is required if effluent water appears cloudy.

  8. Craney IslandEnvironmental Monitoring • Water Quality Cont’d: • If effluent water at a spillway appears cloudy, contractors are required to stop the discharge at the spillway by raising weir boards. • Contractors are required to document each inspection and testing event. • Monitoring allows for real-time measurements and allows dredging contractors to take immediate action to modify their operations.
