Synopsis Contaminated Sediments at Navy Facilities: Cleanup Alternatives by :
The goals of sediment remediation are to remove contaminated sediments from the environment, obstruct contaminant migration into the environment, and/or minimize exposure of ecological or human receptors to sediment contaminants. Contaminated sediments can be either left in place or removed, and often several cleanup techniques are used in combination or in sequence. In some situations, the best solution may be to allow natural burial and chemical weathering to permanently reduce risk. In other cases, sediments can be left in place with a low-permeability and erosion-resistant cap. In cases of relatively high risk of leaving sediments in place, dredging may be required to remove sediments from their existing environment. Once removed, the sediments may require dewatering or treatment prior to disposal, and may be disposed in upland disposal sites, in subaqueous CADs or CDFs. Innovative in situ treatment technologies are under development, some of which may provide beneficial use of the contaminated sediments as feed stock for the manufacture of Portland cement, light-weight aggregate, architectural tiles, or for low- contaminated sediments compost.

Synopsis Environmental Cleanup at Navy Facilities by : Committee on Environmental Remediation at Naval Facilities
The number of hazardous waste sites across the United States has grown to approximately 217,000, with billions of cubic yards of soil, sediment, and groundwater plumes requiring remediation. Sites contaminated with recalcitrant contaminants or with complex hydrogeological features have proved to be a significant challenge to cleanup on every level—technologically, financially, legally, and sociopolitically. Like many federal agencies, the Navy is a responsible party with a large liability in hazardous waste sites. Environmental Cleanup at Navy Facilitites applies the concepts of adaptive management to complex, high-risk hazardous waste sites that are typical of the military, EPA, and other responsible parties. The report suggests ways to make forward progress at sites with recalcitrant contamination that have stalled prior to meeting cleanup goals. This encompasses more rigorous data collection and analysis, consideration of alternative treatment technologies, and comprehensive long-term stewardship.

Synopsis Contaminated Sediments in Ports and Waterways by : Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences
Contaminated marine sediments threaten ecosystems, marine resources, and human health. They can have major economic impacts when controversies over risks and costs of sediment management interfere with needs to dredge major ports. Contaminated Sediments in Ports and Waterways examines management and technology issues and provides guidance that will help officials make timely decisions and use technologies effectively. The book includes recommendations with a view toward improving decision making, developing cost-effective technologies, and promoting the successful completion of cleanup projects. The volume assesses the state of practice and research and development status of both short-term and longer-term remediation methods. The committee provides a conceptual overview for risk-based contaminated sediment management that can be used to develop plans that address complex technological, political, and legal issues and the interests of various stakeholders. The book emphasizes the need for proper assessment of conditions at sediment sites and adequate control of contamination sources.

Synopsis Environmental Cleanup at Navy Facilities by : Committee on Environmental Remediation at Naval Facilities
The fiscal and technological limitations associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites to background conditions have prompted responsible parties to turn to risk-based methods for environmental rememdiation. Environmental Cleanup at Navy Facilities reviews and critiques risk-based methods, including those developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Society of Testing and Materials. These critiques lead to the identification of eleven criteria that must be part of any risk-based methodology adopted by the Navy, a responsible party with a large number of complex and heavily contaminated waste sites.

Synopsis Contaminated Marine Sediments by : National Research Council (U.S.). Committee on Contaminated Marine Sediments
The pervasive, widespread problem of contaminated marine sediments is an environmental issue of national importance, arising from decades of intentionally and unintentionally using coastal waters for waste disposal. This book examines the extent and significance of the problem, reviews clean-up and remediation technologies, assesses alternative management strategies, identifies research and development needs, and presents the committee's major findings and recommendations. Five case studies examine different ways in which a variety of sediment contamination problems are being handled.
