conventional manner (i.e., without the grates on the dragheads) or to design a 

 practical and safe predredging cleanup operation. Of particular interest would be 

 data which may confirm that certain sections of the borrow area are not 

 contaminated or that the ordnance is confined to the surface or near surface. 



WES conducted a review of several technologies and recommended a "pilot 

 study" to test oceanographic/geophysical systems for their suitability in detecting 

 ordnance at the Sea Bright site. NAN concurred with this recommendation and 

 requested that WES proceed with the pilot study, which is reported here.
