In his Spy interview, Colonel Richard Jordan of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, outlines the purpose and process of this multi-layered, scientifically driven, study on the water system, and offers some surprising conclusions about sediment and nutrient activity during major storms. He also highlights his team’s most remarkable finding that only 20% of the sediment that flows into the Bay when bad weather hits actually comes from the Conowingo section of the Lower Susquehanna. For the rest of the 80%, the report suggests one needs to look North.
