This document is intended to serve as a consistent "roadmap" for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency personnel in evaluating the environmental acceptability of dredged amterial management alternatives. Specifically, its major objectives are to provide: A general technical framwork for evaluating the environmental acceptability of dredged material management, alternatives (open-water disposal, confined (diked) disposal, and beneficial uses). Additional technical guidance to augment present implementation and testing manuals for addressing the environmental acceptability of available management options for the discharge of dredged material in both ope water and confined sites. Enhanced consistency and coordination in USAC/EPA decision making in accordance with Federal environmantl statutes regulating dredged material management.
This report discusses certain dredged material disposal alternatives and provides guidelines and concepts in planning for land improvement projects using dredged material. It draws information from Dredged Material Research Program (DMRP) research reports, literature surveys, field demonstrations, and greenhouse studies to provide guidance in land improvement projects. Environmental, technical, economic, social, and legal aspects of projects are presented as well as outline of project planning procedures and dredged material transport systems. Three dredged material land improvement techniques are detailed: surface mine reclamation, sanitary landfill, and agricultural use. Planning, construction, and equipment considerations are presented for each technique. Local, state, and Federal government sources who have jurisdiction or expertise in the various aspects of land improvement projects are included in the report. The report describes techniques for land improvement which utilize dredged material productively as alternatives to conventional disposal methods in regions where land acquisition is difficult and open-water disposal infeasible. The Appendices provide summaries of DMRP research upon which this report is based. (Author).
"The objective of the study was [to] examine and review disposal options (open-water, shoreline, land) for material dredged from Sydney Harbour." -- Summary.
