Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL) developed and organized this workshop at the request of the EPA Office of Water Regulations and Standards (OWRS). Its two-fold purpose was 1) to provide interested individuals and organizations with current information on innovative treatment technologies for contaminated sediments, and 2) to provide RREL staff with an opportunity to increase their understanding of the problems associated with the management of contaminated sediments treatment at various locations throughout the United States. The workshop was organized into six sessions related to policy and technology development. "Setting the Scene" included presentations by representatives from RREL, OWRS, EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO), Environment Canada, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The succeeding four sessions were entitled "Dredged Materials Removal, Pretreatment, and Disposal," "Extraction Technologies," "Biological/Chemical Treatment Technologies," and "Other Technologies of Interest." The final session, an open discussion, provided an opportunity for attendees to raise questions, to provide input, and to exchange ideas.
