The project also includes installing and maintaining all turbidity barriers and monitoring turbidity levels so as not to exceed 29 N.T.U.'s above natural background levels while dredging. As-built surveys are required upon the completion of the dredging operation within Robinson Bayou and after cleanup of the spoil site.
