       Potential Open Water Placement of Dredged Material at Site 104

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

A current study is evaluating the impacts of placing an additional 18
million cubic yards of clean dredged material at Site 104. The focus of the
evaluation is identification of both adverse and beneficial impacts of
placing the additional dredged material at the site, culminating in the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Preliminary
investigations evaluating the potential impacts of placing clean dredged
material at Site 104 have been completed. This webpage includes a summary
of the findings of field studies, baseline data, and historic records
documenting the past and present physical, chemical, and biological
conditions at Site 104. A newly identified topic for this study and webpage
is sturgeon populations in the Bay. The webpage also includes information
on public workshops which will be held in March 1998 to provide information
about the studies and receive comments from the public.
