Contaminated Dredged Marine Sediments: Developing a Management Framework - ME1104
Description
Key Customer Purpose
To assist in the development of a UK Strategy for the Management of Contaminated Dredged Material.
Summary Objectives
To establish the scale of the problem of contaminated sediments in UK harbours and the cost of clear up.
Task: Assessment of areas facing difficulty with Contaminated Dredged Material (CDM), the quantities and contamination involved, the cost to industry and environment of CDM remaining in situ (economic and environmental context), cost of disposal, cost of implementing a pollution prevention plan (ppp) and educational campaign.
To assess the current state of the industry of managing contaminated dredged material and collate case studies of best practice.
Task: Identify best practice within the principles of sustainable development. – guidance and assessment
To validate the use of e-clays to lock TBT contamination into sediments.
