included pump stations to direct stormwater run-off to treatment wetl<strong>and</strong>s, raising existing roads with the addition of<br />

Numerical Model for NY/NJ Harbor Deepening Study<br />

<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong>, in a joint venture, completed a 3-year planning <strong>and</strong> environmental study to determine the most<br />

cost-effective, environmentally-sound, <strong>and</strong> feasible port/channels development plan for New York New Jersey Harbor.<br />

Study goals included formulation of the optimal harbor deepening <strong>and</strong> channel configurations <strong>and</strong> the preparation of<br />

the appropriate USACE/NEPA documentation necessary for the deepening project. Assessments of the effects of various<br />
