Description:
Realizing the need to improve the capabilities of response personnel in dealing with cleanup operations involving contaminated sediments, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have jointly funded a research project to: (a) identify, characterize, and classify chemicals that sink and are amenable to recovery by dredging and/or other techniques such as in-situ treatment; (b) review the state-of-the-art of contaminated sediment management technology to document and identify improved methodologies for handling and disposing of contaminated sediments.
