Long-Term Effects of Dredging Operations Program. Interim Guidance for Predicting the Quality of Effluent Discharged from Confined Dredged Material Disposal Areas.

Abstract

A modified elutriate test procedure to estimate both the dissolved and particle-associated concentrations of contaminants in confined disposal area effluents is discussed. The laboratory test simulates contaminant release under conditions prevalent in confined disposal areas and reflects sedimentation behavior of dredged material, retention time of the containment, and physicochemical environment in ponded water during active disposal.
