Contaminated Sediment Management

Contaminated Sediment Management, Amendment, "CDF White Paper"(DW14947887-01-1: $15,000)

Recipient: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division

Project Period: 10/01/98 to 9/30/00

Project Officer: Scott Cieniawski (312-353-9184)

This agreement will enhance the understanding and management of contaminated sediments in the Great Lakes by producing a report investigating the use, monitoring, and environmental impacts of using Confined Disposal Facilities (CDFs) to manage contaminated sediments. The report shall be a detailed summary of the status of CDFs on the Great Lakes constructed and operated by the Corps, including information about the purpose of the CDFs, the types of designs and operations applied, the state of knowledge on their environmental performance and impacts, and the net environmental effects of CDFs on the Great Lakes. The majority of the report will be extracted from a number of existing reports, white papers and documents developed by and for the Corps and EPA. This project is envisioned to provide a consolidated report summarizing information contained in existing documents into one concise and consistent report.
