In recent years there has been an increased realization that the casual disposal of wastes can lead to a deterioration in environmen tal quality with substantial impacts on society. The management of waste disposal practices must consider the various alternatives of discharging and decomposing wastes on land, in the atmosphere, and in the marine environment. Up until 1972 ocean dumping was used increasingly to dispose of sewage sludge, industrial wastes, and dredged material. In subsequent years regulations were developed to reduce and minimize ocean dumping. These regulations were prompted often by ignorance of the possible effects of waste disposal in the ocean rather than by knowledge that such ocean dumping was detrimen tal to the marine environment or to man. The relationship between waste disposal and the oceans can be viewed in either of two ways. One may want to assure that waste disposal procedures do not alter adversely the marine environment, or one may choose to utilize the ocean as a waste depository to reduce the burden placed on the con tinental ecosystem and on the atmosphere. From either perspective it is essential that there be an adequate base of technical information to assess the fate and effects of wastes introduced to the ocean. A series of original technical papers has been compiled in this book to present some of the recent results of research on industrial waste disposal in the ocean.

A numerical model developed by Tetra Tech, Inc., which traces the movement of dredged material disposed in the aquatic environment has been employed at 10 proposed ocean disposal sites in the Hawaiian Islands. The primary objective of the model applications was to provide a qualitative description of the behavior of the disposed material with a corresponding estimate of how much of the material reaches the bottom of each of the 1000-yd-radius disposal sites. In addition to model results, a brief description of the numerical modle and the rationale for selection of the basic input data at the Pacific Ocean disposal sites are presented. Results from the study indicate that for the particular input data used, at most of the sites the majority of the material will leave the disposal site as suspended sediment rather than being deposited on the bottom.
