Walking through the port of Norfolk last week and noticed something about the silt piles
I was by the Elizabeth River docks and saw how the dredge spoils were layered differently than what we get up in the Chesapeake. Has anyone else seen a big difference in how sediment settles based on the water source?

The Elizabeth River gets a lot more industrial runoff and saltwater mixing than the upper Chesapeake, right? Did you notice if the clay content was higher or if there was more organic debris mixed in?

Industrial runoff is worse upstream, not down in the Elizabeth River mixing zone.

Ha, I'm more of a 'silt looks like silt' kinda guy but your mileage may vary!
