Use of a Weight-of-Evidence Method in Evaluating Regulatory Programs for Contaminated Sediment Management

Publication: Dredging '02: Key Technologies for Global Prosperity

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to systematically explore the utility and relevance of current regulatory guidance involving environmental investigations, and to suggest ideas for the development of a more consistent set of evaluations that are protective of the environment. Selected national and regional guidance documents are evaluated to determine whether species selection and test recommendations are applicable and appropriate to safeguard environmental quality. National guidance manuals include EPA/USACE publications associated with dredged material testing in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments; regional practices include current guidance for New York (NY Regional Testing Manual) and for Puget Sound, Washington (PSDDA).
