The DMMP investigated the fate and transport of
dredged material placed at the dispersive dredged material placement sites
within the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound using site specific sediment
data and a recent numerical model developed for the Puget Sound Basin. This
study, completed in September 2012, was to determine if hydrodynamic conditions
indicated the potential for dredged materials to be transported in the vicinity
of critical shellfish habitat identified by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (LEKT)
near Port Angeles, Sequim, and Port Townsend, Washington. Links to the final
