Stabilization of Dredged Mud

  • Chapter
Environmental Management of Solid Waste

Abstract

Traditional disposal alternatives of dredged material are subaqueous (open-water) disposal, application to intertidal sites and upland deposition. More recently, coastal marine disposal in capped mound deposits above the prevailing seafloor, disposal in subaqueous depressions and capping deposits in depressions have been proposed for contaminated sediments (Kester et al. 1983). These categories differ primarily in the biological population exposed to the contaminated sediments, physico-chemical conditions and transport processes potentially capable of removing contaminants from dredged material at the disposal site (Gambrell et al. 1978).
