• Abstract:
  This report provides technical guidelines for evaluating ; environmental dredging as a sediment remedy component. This document ; supports the Contaminated Sediment Remediation Guidance for ; Hazardous Waste Sites, released by the U.S. Environmental Protection ; Agency (USEPA) in 2005, by providing detailed information regarding ; evaluation of environmental dredging as a remedy component. This ; document is intended to be applicable to contaminated sediment sites ; evaluated under various environmental laws and regulatory programs. The ; intended audience for this report includes all stakeholders potentially ; involved in evaluating environmental dredging for purposes of a feasibility ; study, remedial design, and implementation. ; The scope of this document is limited to the technical aspects of the ; environmental dredging process itself, but it is important that ; environmental dredging be integrated with other components such as ; transport, dewatering, treatment, and rehandling and disposal options. ; This report covers initial evaluation, pertinent site conditions and ; sediment characteristics, environmental dredging performance standards, ; equipment capabilities and selection, evaluation of production, duration, ; and transport, methods for estimating resuspension, residuals and release, ; control measures, operating methods and strategies, and monitoring.
