This report consists of an economic, engineering and environmental reanalysis of the proposed modifications to the existing Federal project for commercial navigation at Gulfport Harbor, Mississippi. Improvements to the existing Federal project at Gulfport Harbor, Mississippi, were authorized by the Supplemental Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 1985 (PL 99-88 dated 15 August 1985). This Act was modified by the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986 (PL 99-662 dated 17 November 1986), and further modified by the Water Resources Development Act of 1988 (PL 100-676 dated 17 November 1988). The authorization in the WRDA of 1986 provides for construction and maintenance of a project 36 feet deep by 300 feet wide in Mississippi Sound, 38 feet deep by 400 feet wide through Ship Island Bar, relocation of the Ship Island Bar channel 1, 000 feet west of the present channel alignment with appropriate bend widening at each end, and a littoral drift impoundment basin 38 feet deep by 300 feet wide by 2,000 feet long opposite the western tip of Ship Island.

General impacts were calculated using MARAD's Portkit input/output model for increases in jobs, business sales, and state incomes, taxes and port revenues. CERL's EIFS input/output model was used to calculate project construction impacts. Several payback scenarios were analyzed from the state prospective for cost recovery of both the Corps deepening project and containeryard expansion project. A financial analysis included sources and uses of the state's share of costs of deepening the channel to 36 feet. Keywords: Regional impacts; Financial and cost recovery analysis; Construction impacts; Tonnage throughput increases; Increases in state and local incomes; Harbor deepening; Containeryard expansion.

This report presents the results of a one year monitoring program of the impacts associated with the thin-layer disposal of 50,000 cubic yards of new work dredged material in Mississippi Sound. The object of thin-layer disposal is two fold: (1) the placement of dredged material in open water in a layer 12 inches thick or less and (2) reduction of short term impacts to the aquatic ecosystem. Results of this monitoring program indicate that: (1) It is possible to control lift-thickness during open water disposal. (2) Recovery of benthos following a December disposal operation begins as early as 6-weeks post disposal abundances within the disposal area are similar to non-disposal areas. (3) Recruitment to the disposal area, following the December disposal, was mediated by adult migration, followed by spring larval settlement. Keywords: Thin layer disposal; Environmental monitoring; Water quality; Bathymetry; Macrofauna; Fishery; Vertical sediment profile. (jhd).
