ABSTRACT:
A method of disposal of waste solid material in an underwater geologic fotion on the continental margins comprises the steps of: drilling a large diameter hole into the geologic formation to a depth of several hundred feet in a single stroke operation; depositing a slug of a paste of waste material into the bottom of the hole thereby burying the slug; and permitting the geologic formation adjacent to the hole above the buried slug to fill the hole above the slug, thereby sealing the buried slug in the geologic formation. A continuous slug of waste material can be used, or the waste material can be formed into discrete charges of material.
