Abstract:

This report describes a plan for establishing a demonstration project for main channel disposal of dredged material in the Upper Mississippi River. Different tracer methods for tracking the movement of dredged material disposed on the thalweg were reviewed. A suitable tracer method for this purpose was identified. Then a plan for establishing a demonstration project for main channel disposal of dredged material was developed.
