Capped In-Water Disposal of Contaminated Dredged Material by the US Army Engineer District, Seattle

Abstract

The Seattle District and the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, Mississippi, are cooperating in a field demonstration study to evaluate the effectiveness of dumping contaminated dredged material in a subaqueous depression and capping it by slowly releasing sand from a bottom- dump barge. This discussion is limited to summarizing Seattle District's operational aspects, as WES data gathering and evaluation are still under way.
