Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) Containment Features: A Summary of Field Experience

Abstract

Confined disposal facilities (CDFs) are one of the most widely used technologies for managing contaminated sediments. The effectiveness of a CDF in containing contaminants depends on the design, construction, operation, and management of the facility. This technical note describes field experiences with the application of containment features to improve the effectiveness of CDFs in retaining contaminants in the CDFs and reducing the potential for contaminant losses to surface water, groundwater, air, plants, and animals.
