Sediment Caps That Degrade Contaminants
Covering submerged contaminated sediments with layers of sand, gravel, rock, or synthetic materials (i.e., in situ sediment capping) stabilizes the sediment and prevents mobilization of contaminants into the water column. Capping strategies can reduce long-term ecological and human health risks at sites where dredging is cost-prohibitive and monitored natural attenuation is not a suitable remediation option.
