3.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The EPA and the USACE have determined that the existing Jacksonville ODMDS has a 

remaining capacity of 2 million cubic yards of dredged material from the proposed 

deepening of Mayport Naval Station and eight years of continued maintenance of 

Mayport Naval Station and the St. Johns River Entrance Channel. Based on potential 

increases in maintenance volumes and a deepening project at Jacksonville Harbor 

currently under study, the USACE has determined that the existing Jacksonville ODMDS 

may reach capacity as early as 2013. EPA and the USACE are therefore initiating the 

process for either expanding the existing Jacksonville ODMDS or designating a new 

ODMDS offshore Jacksonville, Florida. 

An initial reconnaissance survey was conducted in October 2009 and followed by a 

second reconnaissance survey in March 2010. Based on results of those surveys, three 

candidate sites have been identified, one north of the entrance channel and two to the 

south. A spring designation survey was completed in March/April 2010. 

4.0 SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES/OBSERVATIONS

The survey consisted of epibenthic trawls (taxonomic identification, numeration and 

tissue analysis), bivalve trawls, sediment sampling for macroinfauna analysis, and water 

column profiles and water samples. Trawls were conducted in the morning and evening 

periods and water column profiles were taken at each station during an ebb and flood 

tide. Sediment Profiling Camera (SPI) stations were conducted at the Jacksonville 

ODMDS. Dive operations were also conducted to ground-truth previous survey 

sidescan sonar data. Seas ranged from calm at the beginning of the survey to 3-4 feet 

near the end. Winds ranged from 5-10 knots to over 15. Daytime temperatures were in 

the mid 80s (o

F). A summary of activities is provided in the table below:

5.0 SUMMARY OF RESULTS COMPLETED DURING SURVEY

68 drops of the sampler were required to obtain 54 macroinfauna samples (3 replicates 

at 18 stations). Sediment samples are summarized in Table 1 attached. 29 epibenthic 

trawls were conducted. The trawl locations are provided in Table 2 attached. Nine clam

trawls were conducted and those trawl locations are provided in Table 3 attached. 13 

CTD casts were conducted. The locations are provided in Table 4 attached. 13 SPI 

stations were completed and four dives were completed. A summary of the dive 

operations is attached. Figures showing the sediment samples and trawl locations are 

attached. 

6.0 LIST, COMPLETION DATES, AND DISCUSSION OF PENDING 

ANALYSIS

Pending analysis includes: 

• CTD post processing 

• Analysis of water chemistry samples 

• Tabulation of macroepifaunal data 

• Analysis of tissue samples 

• Macroinfauna analysis 

All analysis is expected to be completed and included in a final report by February 28, 

2011. 

7.0 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED

The SPI camera did not fully penetrate the sediment. Additional weight was added to 

the camera frame, but it did not result in increased penetration of the camera. It is 

possible that the sandy sediment inhibited penetration. 

The initial macroepifaunal trawls were completed using a net with rock hoppers, which 

did not result in catches that were comparable to the spring survey trawls. A net without 

rock hoppers was substituted on 9/14 and it provided results more consistent with the 

spring survey. Trawls completed with the first net on 9/13 and 9/14 were duplicated 

later in the survey with the new net. 

8.0 ACHIEVEMENT OF SURVEY OBJECTIVES 

All primary survey objectives were achieved. Supplementary additional trawls were 

completed. The secondary objective of conducting SPI sampling was partially achieved.
