PC-based Geographic Information System (GIS) for Design and Management of Disposal Sites
Category:
Information Systems
Description:
Development of user-friendly, PC-based system that incorporates a relational database
management system and a Geographic Information System (GIS) for management and design of
offshore disposal sites. USACE New York District contracted Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC) and Applied Science Associates (ASA) to develop Disposal Analysis
Network for New York District (DAN-NY).
During the spring of 1997, the NYD, WES, and SAIC were involved with the disposal and
capping of 700,000 yd3 of mildly contaminated dredged materials at the Mud Dump Site.
DAN-NY was used during the design phase to select the optimal disposal location, to test
candidate disposal scenarios, and to conduct multiple runs with MDFATE. Dredging, disposal,
and capping operations were conducted from May through October 1997. Throughout the project
DAN-NY proved to be valuable for:
1) Managing the placement of disposal marker buoys.
2) Monitoring the locations of individual disposal events.
3) Analysis of the near real-time data that were acquired from multiple bathymetric surveys of
mound topography.
WES is already in the process expanding elements of DAN-NY to design and manage other
offshore disposal sites at other USACE Districts.
