Marine Disposal of Solid Wastes
Publication: Journal of the Sanitary Engineering Division
Volume 96, Issue 6
Abstract
In 1968, approximately 48,000,000 tons of wastes from the civilian sector were disposed in U.S. coastal waters at an estimated cost of $29,000,000 by tug and barge operations. All indications point to increasing amounts in the future. There are critical needs for baseline environmental data, adequate monitoring systems, and establishment of responsibility for regulating discharges of solid or containerized wastes at sea.
