Offshore oceanographic and environmental monitoring services for the strategic petroleum reserve. Annual report, West Hackberry Site, November 1983-November 1984. Volume II. Appendices
- eds.
The Department of Energy's Strategic Petroleum Reserve Program began leaching the West Hackberry salt dome and discharging brine into the coastal waters offshore of Cameron, Louisiana during mid-May 1981. 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 West Hackberry brine discharge on the marine environment. The study addresses the areas of physical oceanography, analysis of the discharge plume, water and sediment quality, special pollutants, nekton, benthos, phytoplantton, zooplanton and data management. It focuses on the period from 15 November 1983 through 14 November 1984. Volume II contains appendices for supporting data for: (1) physical oceanography; (2) brine plume measurement; (3) water and sediment quality; (4) special pollutant analysis; (5) nekton investigations; (6) phytoplankton investigation; (7) zooplankton investigations; and (8) West Hackberry brine discharge and West Hackberry raw water intake structure. 219 figs., 109 tabs.
