Determining Recovery Potential of Dredged Material for Beneficial Use - Site Characterization; Prescriptive Approach

Abstract

This technical note is one of three providing guidance on evaluating the potential for recovery of dredged material for beneficial use (BU), either as is or using physical separation (soil washing) to meet BU specifications. This technical note describes a prescriptive approach to estimating volumes meeting BU requirements. The prescriptive approach uses available information or information obtained from limited sampling to evaluate the feasibility of material reuse, available volumes, and the need for and feasibility of physical separation. The first technical note(Olin-Estes and Palermo 2000) introduces physical separation concepts and presents mathematical relationships for estimating material recovery potential (MRP). The third technical note in the series (Olin-Estes 2000) introduces statistical methods for developing a more extensive sampling plan and interpreting the resulting data.
