The pre-use survey should be designed to provide the following 
information: 
(1) Detailed circulation, including seasonal variations, in and 
adjacent to the disposal area, conducted so as to permit an evaluation 
of the dilution afforded by turbulent mixing within the area and transport 
from the area by ocean currents. 
(2) Measurement of the seasonal variations in the kind and quan- 
tities of aquatic organisms within and adjacent to a disposal area, es- 
pecially organisms attached to or living in the bottom. These may con- 
centrate or move components of the wastes and so act first as a con- 
tainment element and second as a convenient indicator, during subsequent 
monitoring operations, of the spread of activity throughout the disposal 
area and of possible "leaking" out of the disposal area.
