About this file
This document contains the results of a grain size analysis of sediment samples from Newburyport Harbor in Massachusetts. Ten samples were analyzed according to standard testing protocols to determine the distribution of particle sizes, ranging from silt and clay to coarse gravel. The results show that Samples A through I and the NPDS sample consist primarily of poorly graded medium sand, with varying minor percentages of fine sand or coarse sand. Sample C contains a small percentage of fine gravel.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation for maintenance dredging of the Newburyport Harbor Federal Navigation Project in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Approximately 220,000 to 250,000 cubic yards of sandy material will be hydraulically dredged from the entrance and inner channels and placed on an adjacent beach via pipeline. The solicitation was issued by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers New England District.
