Sediment decontamination with beneficial use for the port of New York and New Jersey
Effective operation of the multi-state Port of New York/New Jersey(Port), which contributes $20 billion to the regional economy and generates nearly 250,000 jobs is dependent on yearly navigational dredging of several million cubic meters of sediment for channel maintenance and deepening. Further dredging is required for remediation of environmentally sensitive areas. However, more stringent ocean placement testing regulations in the Port have necessitated a search for other means of handling the the most contaminated dredged materials. Here, we describe a dredged material decontamination program for the Port aimed at the creation of sediment decontamination facilities that produce a beneficial use to obviate the need for ocean placement.
