Abstract: The quality of efflent discharged from confined dredged material disposal areas is an environmental concern when the sediments to be dredged are contaminated. Sedimentation which occurs during the confined disposal and ...

Abstract: Polluted sediments from harbors are often pumped to confined disposal areas on shore where they are settled. The polluted overflow effluent quality can now be predicted by a recently developed modified elutriate test. ...

Abstract: Column settling test procedures are used in designing confined dredged material disposal areas for effective sedimentation and initial storage of solids. The results of a study in which the test procedures were refined to ...

Abstract: The Corps of Engineers and EPA conducted a feasibility study of using dredges to remove PCBs from the highly contaminated sediments of the New Bedford, Mass., harbor, a Superfund site. Three types of dredges were tested. ...
