Dredging Research, Vol. 5, No. 2, Jun 2002
Abstract
The plan calls for a series of small pits, each pit receiving one year's discharge of dredged material. After one year of deposits, the pit will be capped to prevent loss of material and to encourage colonization by benthic organisms and fish. The pit will be capped with material excavated during construction of the new pit. Surficial sediments unsuitable for ocean disposal would be used for capping first. Then these deposits would be capped with clean material from the new pit. The clean sediment caps would also serve to remediate the unsuitable surface sediments, in addition to safely containing the dredged material and returning the area to its previous condition with no long-term loss of habitat or benthic communities.
