DISPOSAL AREA MONITORING SYSTEM 



j 

 This is one of a series of site specific data reports resulting from the 

 DAMOS program, now two years in progress. DAMOS is the culmination of 

 nearly a decade of prior study efforts, actually preceding NEPA, which 

 have been directed towards the understanding of the effects of and the 

 responsible management of the ocean disposal of dredged materials in 

 New England waters as they fall under the authority ot the New England 

 Division of the Corps of Engineers. The individual site reports hence- 

 forth will be updated approximately on an annual bases as additional 

 knowledge is gained, at least with respect to those sites where signifi- 

 cant disposal activities will have occurred.
