The Superfund Sediment Resource Center (SSRC) is designed to assist EPA staff with site-specific technical issues related to the characterization and cleanup of contaminated sediment sites. Areas of focus for the SSRC include:
- Site characterization (data collection and evaluation)
- Use of passive samplers
- Sampling design and statistical analysis
- Geomorphology and sediment transport/stability evaluations
- Modeling (hydrodynamic, fate and transport, food chain)
- Remedy evaluation, design, and implementation (dredging, capping, monitored natural recovery (MNR), enhanced MNR, In situ amendments, confined disposal facilities, and innovative treatment technologies)
- Monitoring plan design and implementation
