The Northern Region of the NLDS is an area that is relatively flat and uniform 

 supporting a stable, mature benthic community. The depths in the northern half of the 

 region are too shallow to accommodate placement of mounds, but the slope may provide 

 some containment for projects placed in the southern half. Historical dredged material was 

 observed with REMOTS® sediment profile photographs and in each case found to be 

 supporting a healthy benthic community.
