The sea floor of the HARS, approximately 9 square nautical miles in area, is being remediated by placing at least a one-meter cap of clean dredged material on top of the existing surface sediments that exhibit varying degrees of degradation.

Source_Contribution: Provided the boundary coordinates delineating the Historic Area Remediation Site Process_Step: Process_Description: The corner points were put into Arcview 3.2 and using the connect the dots extension, a non-self-intersecting polygon was generated and saved to a new shapefile. This extension is a user developed script and can be downloaded from the ESRI website at http://www.esri.com. This was done in the case of all 6 files.
