ABSTRACT
Availability of dredged material disposal facilities is becoming increasingly limited throughout the United States, and the need to maximize their storage capacity to support navigation dredging, in particular, is of utmost importance. A case study is presented to illustrate how a decade-long implementation of an intensive management program for desiccation-drying and the removal of dried dredged materials could successfully optimize the storage capacity and design life of a confined disposal facility. Data collected to monitor and quantitatively assess the performance of the intensive management program indicates that its implementation is on track to achieve the projected design life of the disposal cells. Lessons learned on dredged material management and the success of the intensive management program are also discussed.
