Dubois Creek Model Results
Figure 4.8 shows the initial contamination levels and the sample points for the Dubois Creek simulation. For this area of interest, Taylor Engineering modeled the dispersion of the contaminant pictured in Figure 4.8 for the existing configuration with no breakwater and the proposed configuration with the segmented breakwater in place. Figures 4.9 and 4.10 compare the contamination decay curves for these two cases at sample points DC3 and DC7. The figures demonstrate that the presence of the proposed breakwaters has a negligible effect on the decay of contaminant concentration originating at the south end of Dubois Creek.
