Bioremediation of PAH-Contaminated Dredged Material at the Jones Island CDF: Materials, Equipment, and Initial Operations
Abstract
The U.S. Army Engineer District, Detroit, is currently conducting' a bioremediation demonstration project at the Jones Island confined disposal facility (CDF), Milwaukee, WI. Dredged material contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is being bioremediated using composting technology. This technical note describes the materials, equipment, and initial operations at the Jones Island CDF bioremediation project. The purpose of the Jones Island bioremediation project is to test the feasibility of using low-cost and relatively passive biotechnology to reduce PAR concentrations and convert the dredged sediment to material suitable for offsite beneficial uses.
