Offshore oceanographic and environmental monitoring services for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Volume II. Appendices. Annual report for the Bryan Mound Site, September 1982-August 1983
The Department of Energy's Strategic Petroleum Reserve Program began leaching the Bryan Mound salt dome and discharging brine into the coastal waters offshore of Freeport, Texas on March 10, 1980. This report describes the findings of a team of Texas A and M University scientists and engineers who have conducted a study to evaluate the effects of the Bryan Mound brine discharge on the marine environment. The study addresses the areas of physical oceanography, analysis of the discharge plume, water and sediment quality, nekton, benthos and data management. It focuses on the period from September 1982 through August 1983. Volume II contains the following appendices: (1) supporting data for physical oceanography; (2) supporting data for brine plume measurements; (3) supporting data for water and sediment quality; (4) supporting data for nekton studies; and (5) Bryan Mound discharge data. 204 figures, 69 tables.
