Abstract

The Beneficial Uses Group (BUG) was established in 1990 as a subcommittee of the Interagency Coordination Team of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The BUG developed this project with objectives presented in this report. This report focuses on the laboratory, greenhouse, cultivation pond, and demonstration marsh work which determined the feasibility of these objectives. Details concerning seed selection, germination, transplanting of seedlings, and planting at the Demonstration Marsh are included. Plant spacing and procedures are also discussed, and pictures of each planting phase and project site maps are attached.
