Book Description
Dredging of contaminated sediments and subsequent disposal and capping in legally designated sites is an internationally accepted disposal alternative when adherence to strict disposal practices is maintained. As more highly contaminated sediments in the heavily industrialized harbors of the world must be dredged to maintain navigation and economic viability, pressure to use subaqueous dredged material disposal sites will increase. Use of these subaqueous sites has necessitated development of procedures to analyze disposal site capacity based upon physical, chemical, and biological considerations. This study developed an analysis method to investigate the behavior of the created subaqueous sediment mounds. Emphasis was placed upon the physical aspects of mound behavior, although the method also includes chemical and biological aspects. The physical aspects of the method were applied to four field sites at which dredged material mounds have been created. The procedure successfully predicted the physical behavior of the constructed dredged material mounds. This method of analysis provides a useful tool for evaluation of subaqueous disposal sites and the dredged material mounds created within these sites; it is equally applicable to analysis of contaminated and uncontaminated dredged material mounds. Keywords: Underwater dredged materials; Waste disposal consolidation; Site capacity; Soft soils. (edc).

Book Description
Expanding a port, deepening a navigation channel or creating new land for development, introduces changes to our physical, social, economic and political environment. Changes may result from events during the construction process, or relate to the nature of the completed structure. Changes can be positive or negative, short-term or long-term, and may affect the immediate vicinity of the project or a larger geographical area. Predicting and assessing all possible effects of a planned dredging activity in a scientifically-sound and reliable manner is essential, so that appropriate control measures can be taken to avoid or mitigate unwelcome impacts. This book provides guidance for a complete holistic environmental evaluation procedure and for the design and implementation of environmental control measures. The book is of particular interest to engineers, government agencies and port authorities, as well as civil engineering consultants and contractors involved in planning and designing dredging, maritime infrastructure and fluvial projects.
