1.2 1.2 Research Approach During Phase I of this research a review of the technical literature was combined with a survey of practitioners to produce a detailed synthesis of the current state of practice. Phase II included development of selection criteria for granular and geotextile filters in relation to requirements and constraints for underwater placement.

1.5 PHASE II 1.3.5 Task 5 - Develop Selection Criteria Selection criteria were developed for granular, geotextile, and geocomposite filter systems considering the relative advantages and limitations of various approaches to underwater installation, including equipment type and capability. Site hydraulic, geotechnical, and geomorphic conditions were considered, as will site restrictions, extreme conditions, and sitespecific permitting and environmental issues.
