done to investigate the flushing of wastewater discharge from the bay to
develop an ebb-tidal discharge from the wastewater treatment plant in
Eureka.

Bay, California," Contract No. DACW07-81-C-0029, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers.
Describes a yearlong data collection of water levels, salinity,
temperature, turbidity, currents, and wind data throughout Humboldt Bay
to be used for model development by the Corps of Engineers. The data
were supplied as separate submittals on magnetic media, and are
available from West Consultants, or Greg Crawford at Humboldt State
University, or the primary author of the report. The report is in two
volumes including addenda and appendices.

Powered Exchange between Two Interconnected Shallow Bays," Unpublished
manuscript.
A review of free and anchored drifter studies done in Entrance Bay that
provides a good review of the circulation patterns. Much of the material

support of the recent deepening project. Predictions of changes in
shoaling rate were addressed for various channel depths.
