Physical Environment

Landscape

Information on the physical and oceanographic environment in the vicinity of the three deep ocean outfalls is available in the Final Report Series from the Environmental Monitoring Program (EPA 1996a-g and references therein). A sophisticated three dimensional hydrodynamic model has been developed for the prediction of effluent plume, floatable and settleable material movement and deposition from the three deep ocean outfalls (EPA 1996a, b).
