Use of Dredgings for Landfill. Technical Report No. 2. Stabilization of Dredged Material
The use of diked dredge sediments has the potential to provide landfill for community development projects. However, the successful realization of this objective requires that proper attention be given to the problems (a) possible surface water pollution by the effluent from the containment area, (b) possible groundwater pollution by leachates from the dredged materials, and (c) stabilization of the soft sediments within the diked area. The results of this investigation indicate that (a) the coagulation and precipitation effects of a promising flocculant will increase the sedimentation rate of dredged material slurries, thereby allowing more fine particles to be removed from the supernatants or a reduction in the retention time required to satisfy given effluent standards, and (b) leachates from dredged sediments in diked containment areas do not appear to cause any serious pollution problems.
