EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (cont.) 



Results of the 1992 bathymetric/REMOTS® monitoring surveys at MBDS were as 

 predicted. Dredged material released at MBDS since 1990 did increase the size of the 

 disposal mound. The Stage III benthic communities at the reference areas were unchanged 

 since 1990; no benthic infauna (Stage III organisms) were found in the Boston Blue Clay at 

 the center of the mound.
