Summary of Field Work: |
Dredge disposal operations are monitored by EPA in support of site management and monitoring plans (SMMPs). EPA with their prime contractor Battelle are conducting environmental monitoring activities at the LA 3 ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) offshore of Newport Bay, CA in 2015.
The project has two primary phases:
1) Collect Sediment Profile images within and adjacent to the LA3 ODMDS
2) Collect Sediment samples for physical, chemical, and biological analyses within and adjacent to the LA3 ODMDS. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Vessel platform:
• Equipped to operate on 24 hour schedule in typical sea state conditions offshore of Newport Bay, California for a minimum of 6 sea days while in transit to and working at survey site with an additional one day for mobilization/demobilization.
• A stable platform to handle sea conditions working 4 nautical miles offshore and in maximum water depths of 650 meters (overall range: 250-650 meters).
• Equipped with an A frame and a marine trawl winch capable of deploying sampling equipment weighing up to 2,000 pounds, ideally at maximum wire out/wire in speed of 60 meters per minute.
• Berthing capacity for a minimum of 10 scientific crew including field technicians.
• Provisions – 3 meals a day for the days the science team is on board.
• Dry and Wet Labs with sufficient freezer and refrigerator space to accommodate sample storage. |
