indicate that samples for geophysical testing were taken from various points in Bridgeport 

 Harbor to delineate areas that would require blasting and those that would require dredging. 

 The materials found suitable for dredging were characterized as fine sand. 



In the late 1970s, an effort was made to condense the number of disposal sites within 

 Long Island Sound. During this process, the Bridgeport Disposal Site was closed in 1977. 

 The remaining twenty-seven disposal sites were reduced to four regional disposal sites. The 

 current regional sites are the Western Long Island Sound Disposal Site (WLIS), the Central 

 Long Island Sound Disposal Site (CLIS), the New London Disposal Site (NLON), and the 

 Cornfield Shoals Disposal Site (CSDS).
