3. For those of you who were involved in the dustpan demonstration, please circle the

answer that best represents your opinion for the following statements and comment why.

SA=Strongly Agree A=Agree U=Undecided D=Disagree SD=Strongly Disagree

The operation of a dustpan dredge (like the dredge Beachbuilder used in the

demonstration) with propulsion and flexible discharge presents an acceptable risk to

navigation when working in other sections of the channel that don't require a deep-draft

vessel to take up as much of the channel while maneuvering (i.e., at the HOP where the

setup caused by Pass A Loutre and South Pass currents influence an outbound vessel).
