The results represent the fourth geotechnical survey, and the first set of chemical data from sediment cores, for the project. Following the introduction, methods of data collection, core processing, and laboratory analyses are described in Section 2. Data quality is reviewed in Section 3. Results (Section 4) are summarized for core descriptions, geotechnical, and chemical data. The survey results are discussed in Section 5, followed by a summary in question and answer format in Section 6. Report references are provided in Section 7. Core location, core logs and descriptions (Appendix A), discrete geotechnical sample data from GeoTesting Express (Appendix B), and down-core profiles of water content and bulk density (Appendix C), and all chemistry data will be available through the Disposal Area Network- New York (DAN-NY) system." (From: Introduction, p.1-1) Purpose: "The specific objectives of this coring survey were to evaluate changes in geotechnical properties of the project material since the interim disposal survey, evaluate consolidation of the project dredged material since the placement of cap material at the site, and establish baseline information on chemical concentrations for future monitoring of the project area (Section 1.2)."
