Book Description
An environmental-impact study of the San Clemente Island sewage discharge site was used as a model to predict the effects of dumping raw sewage into the open ocean. Coliform bacterial counts, used to assess water sanitary quality, showed that the water at distances greater than several hundred feet from the outfall was within standards for swimming beaches. Biological surveys revealed that plant and animal life was noticeably altered only within about 50 ft from the discharge. Dye-diffusion studies and dissolved-oxygen measurements demonstrated that normal ocean mixing is adequate to prevent oxygen depletion under open-ocean conditions. From an esthetic standpoint, odors and floatable solids were insignificant. The San Clemente Island findings were extrapolated to gauge the effect of ship sewage discharges in the open ocean, with completely harmless results predicted.

Waste Disposal In The Oceans
Author: Dorothy Soule
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000002977
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
After a decade of attempts to control pollution with broad, sweeping legislation on a national scale, recent efforts have recognized the need to evaluate waste disposal on a case-by-case or regional basis, incorporating new knowledge about the consequences of disposal. This book examines the major uses and effects of waste disposal in the ocean, paying particular attention to California's coastal waters. The contributors, representing public agencies, academe, and research institutions, take into account environmental concerns while they focus on developing management strategies of using the oceans for waste disposal. The book is a result of the 1982 symposium "Ocean Disposal in the 1980s," which was sponsored by the Southern California Academy of Sciences
