Abstract
A model is developed to evaluate the initial deposition of particles due to discharge of sewage sludge in the ocean. The three-dimensional sedimentation modeling shows that the sludge particles would be widely dispersed. The bottom initial fallout distribution is expected to be much elongated along the bottom contours due to nonisotropy of the ocean current. This is useful in assessing the environmental consequences of alternative strategies for ocean sludge disposal in southern California where offshore deep basins (depths to 900 m) are within short distances from shore (on order of 10-20 km).
