This book was released on 1986 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note contains assessments of conventional and special-purpose dredges in removing sediment with minimal sediment resuspension. If sediment resuspension is a critical factor in dredging areas of contaminated material, the following guidance will aid in specifying the dredge and operating conditions. Investigations were conducted as part of the Corps of Engineers' Improvement of Operations and Maintenance Techniques (IOMT) Research Program to evaluate the resuspension of sediment into the water column due to dredging operations. Laboratory, field, and literature studies have been used to define the sediment resuspension characteristics of most conventional and several special-purpose dredges. The natural hydrophobic tendency of most organic contaminants and the high sediment-sorptive capacity for inorganic contaminants limits release to the soluble forms and makes the simple measure of sediment resuspension during dredging a relative measure of the potential for contaminant release.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a larger effort to develop a method to predict the extent of sediment resuspension and contaminant release when dredging in contaminated sediments, field studies are being conducted to evaluate new and existing dredging methods. These studies consist of efforts to determine the level of sediment resuspended by a given dredge type in a given sediment. Whenever possible, the studies are conducted such that different dredges operate under the same conditions or even in the same locations. The studies also evaluate the effects of various operational parameters on the resuspension of sediments. This paper presents the results of the first 2 years of study and includes data from both field studies and extensive literature review. Different dredge types produce different amounts of suspended sediment in different parts of the water column. Resuspensions caused by cutterhead and hopper dredges tend to remain in the lower water column, while bucket dredges increase resuspensions throughout the water columns. The amount of resuspension caused by a given dredge type also depends on the operating techniques used with the dredge. Sediment resuspension can be lessened by changing operating techniques, as in the case of the cutterhead, or by modifying the equipment, such as enclosing a clamshell bucket. Special purpose dredges can also be used but their lower production rates limit their application.
