Design and Construction of a Nearshore Confined Disposal Facility
The use of confined disposal facilities (CDF) is becoming a more often selected option for the disposal of contaminated dredged material. The primary objective of a nearshore CDF is to contain dredged material in an environmentally protective manner. In addition, many CDFs have another objective, or generally beneficial side effect, which is to facilitate future use of the upland property created by the construction of the facility. These future uses can range from habitat enhancement, to public open space, to port facilities and other water-dependent uses. The design of a CDF involves several aspects of engineering and science including subsurface investigation, containment structure design, chemical fate and transport (including groundwater modeling), construction considerations, and in some cases, habitat mitigation/restoration considerations. This paper presents a generalized approach for the design and construction of a nearshore CDF to contain contaminated dredged sediments. Two project examples are presented to illustrate the complexity of such a design.
