Documentation of historic dredging and disposal activities was accomplished through the collection of data primarily from the files of the ACOE, New England Division, in Waltham, Massachusetts, supplemented by information from the states of Maine and New Hampshire and previously published reports. This historic dredging occurred between 1950-1993 and involved 499 dredging events. Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to release a digital version of the sediment data published in Normandeau Associates (1994).
