Project Number: 6408-13000-012-14
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Feb 01, 2002
End Date: Jan 31, 2007

Objective:
Activities on Grenada Lake will include: 1) assessing sedimentation issues within and near the large woody debris plug; 2) quantifying rates and patterns of sedimentation within Grenada Lake; and 3) quantifying the spatial distribution of bulk sediment chemistry and contaminated sediment within Grenada Lake.

Approach:
Samples of the sediment trapped within the woody debris plug as well as upstream and downstream of the plug will be collected using a vibracorer and hand-held slide-hammer samplers. These sediment samples will be analyzed for a complete array of common contaminants, heavy metals, and chemical elements. Using a vibracorer, continuous sediment cores will be obtained within Grenada Lake, and all sediment within the cores will be analyzed for common contaminants and chemical elements. A complete subsurface survey will be conducted using geophysical technology.
