An important use of dredged material as a manageable resource occurs when confined disposal sites are developed for productive land use purposes. This study involved the documentation and comparative evaluation of 12 selected cases where dredged material from navigation projects was used to create productive land. The 12 case studies were prepared to examine multiobjective disposal-productive use planning in terms of: the sequence of events comprising the planning and implementation process; participants in project planning/review and their roles, perspectives, and interactions; issues addressed during project planning/review, their importance, and how they were resolved; physical planning elements affecting the feasibility of disposal facility and productive land use plans; and land use planning principles that should be reflected in proposed productive use concepts.
