Procedure for Managing Contaminated Dredged Material
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 114, Issue 5
Abstract
Guidelines in the form of a flexible step‐by‐step procedure are presented for the management of contaminated dredged material. The guidelines are intended to assist decision‐makers in their planning for dredging operations that could pose problems if not given special consideration. The procedure follows preliminary assessment of the contamination of sediment that is to be dredged. The procedure assists in the determination of appropriate and compatible means for dredging, transport, treatment, and disposal of dredged material. It combines means into viable alternatives which are then evaluated on the basis of several criteria: reliability, technical effectiveness, environmental impact, cost, regulatory requirements, public acceptance, safety, and practicality.
