The
Buzzards Bay Disposal Site (BBDS) is located in the northern half of the bay,
1.4 nautical miles (2.6 km) from Chappaquiot Point, West Falmouth, MA. The site
is a 500 yard diameter circle centered at 41° 36.007' N and 70° 40.969' W (NAD 83), lying
within a slight depression between 30 ft (9 m) and 40 ft (12 m) deep. Disposal
records indicate that since 1970, approximately 85,000 yd3 of dredged
material have been deposited at the site, primarily from small harbor and river
channels throughout the Buzzards Bay region. The last substantial use of the site
was in the fall of 1985, when the Massachusetts Maritime Academy disposed of 72,000
yd3 of material. The last disposal made was 800 yd3 in the
fall of 1989. Consequently, there has been no recent monitoring activity at this
site.
