Evaluation of Dredged Material for Phytoreclamation Suitability.

Abstract

This technical note serves primarily to describe an approach to evaluating the phytoreclamation alternative for dredged material treatment. This approach falls under the treatment block described as part of a framework for testing and evaluation of dredged material for beneficial uses in Technical Note DOER-C2 (U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) 1998a). This technical note expands the framework to include a phased approach to determine the suitability of a contaminated dredged material for plant-mediated reclamation (phytoreclamation), sometimes termed phytoremediation.
