Terry,

This is exactly the point: Their conclusion that the SediMeter was unable to detect the sediment to the level advertised does not hold up to scrutiny. I stand by my instrument and I don't hesitate to say that the USACE report is deceitful. If it's deliberate or not I cannot know, but your reply above clearly shows that it led to the consequence I suspected: It was not being considered.

It was not being considered due to a flawed report. That's the bottom line.

I am know conducting a PROPER study and will publish the results when ready.
