Stabilized coal waste in the Chesapeake Bay-Choptank River estuary: environmental investigations. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6786634
; ; ; ;
Chemical, physical, and biological studies of the environmental acceptability of disposal and artificial reef construction with stabilized coal waste materials were conducted in the laboratory and at a field site in the Chesapeake Bay - Choptank River Estuary. The studies were directed at determining (1) the extent and type of release of block chemical constituents to the environment, (2) the physical stability of the block material in estuarine waters, and (3) the characteristics of biological growth and community structure on the coal waste blocks relative to other substrates.
