Hydrodynamic and water quality modeling of lower Green Bay, Wisconsin. Volume 1. Main text and appendixes A - E. Final report
A confined disposal facility (CDF) for dredged material presently exists in lower Green Bay, Wisconsin. A planned expansion of the CDF was studied to assess its impact on current patterns and subsequent redistribution of dissolved oxygen in the immediate vicinity of the proposed expansion. The redistribution is, in part, dependent on the magnitude and direction of currents generated by storm-induced seiches occurring in Lake Michigan and within the bay itself. Two-dimensional, vertically averaged hydrodynamic and water quality models were applied to make this assessment by investigating the spatial and temporal variations in dissolved oxygen concentrations for existing and proposed configurations. Field data collected over three summers were used for calibrating and validating the hydrodynamic model. The water quality model was calibrated with field data collected over one summer. Results and conclusions of the modeling effort are summarized in this report. Circulation, Green Bay, Dissolved oxygen, Seiche, Great Lakes, Water quality.
