Geophysical Survey of the Delaware River - Bordentown Reach          

               

Working as a subcontractor for ENSR International, Inc., CR conducted a comprehensive geophysical survey and environmental sampling effort of the Bordentown Reach of the Delaware River.  The project was conducted as a feasibility study/environmental impact assessment for a proposed power plant site on the NJ side of the river.

Geophysical survey methods included:  side scan sonar; bathymetry (single beam); CV magnetometer; CHIRP sub-bottom (Geostar); and acoustic Doppler current profiling.  Environmental samples included vibrocores, box cores, and water column samples.

Geophysical survey data and environmental sampling data were merged into a single coherent ArcView GIS Project, facilitating examination of relationships between measurement parameters.
