Abstract

A unique case-study was conducted in Santa Cruz, California that included an experimental harbor dredging event into the natural framework of a dynamic, coastal environment. The Santa Cruz Harbor was permitted to dredge mixed sand and mud sediment into the surf-zone at Twin Lakes Beach. This fine-grained dredging experiment is the first of its kind in California. A challenge to the EPA's "80/20" rule which states that dredged (non-toxic) sediment released into the surf-zone should contain at least 80% sand-sized material.
