Advancements in the Management of Dredged Material in the State of New Jersey
Demand for dredging of New Jersey's waterways, coupled with the lack of capacity in Confined Disposal Facilities (CDFs), are the catalysts for recent advances in the management of dredged material (DM) in the State. The New Jersey Department of Transportation's Office of Maritime Resources (NJDOT/OMR), through the I-BOAT NJ program, is attempting to enhance the maritime industry in the State for the benefit of the general boating public. Several grants have specifically targeted management techniques, processes and end uses to foster beneficial use of DM. A recently completed project in Cape May, New Jersey, separated 1,000 cubic yards of clean sand from the existing DM. This material was subsequently utilized as fill material for a State highway project. Other projects under way include enhancement of habitat and reduction of road-side mortality of Diamondback Terrapins through the beneficial use of DM, and mapping the volume and character of DM found in the state's coastal CDF's. As part of these studies, the State is examining the hydraulic and strength properties of various dredged materials, alone and as amended. A follow-on study will compare the properties of various DM products to existing classes of aggregates to establish the utility of DM as a viable alternative to virgin geo-materials.
