Expanding a port, deepening a navigation channel or creating new land for development, introduces changes to our physical, social, economic and political environment. Changes may result from events during the construction process, or relate to the nature of the completed structure. Changes can be positive or negative, short-term or long-term, and may affect the immediate vicinity of the project or a larger geographical area. Predicting and assessing all possible effects of a planned dredging activity in a scientifically-sound and reliable manner is essential, so that appropriate control measures can be taken to avoid or mitigate unwelcome impacts. This book provides guidance for a complete holistic environmental evaluation procedure and for the design and implementation of environmental control measures. The book is of particular interest to engineers, government agencies and port authorities, as well as civil engineering consultants and contractors involved in planning and designing dredging, maritime infrastructure and fluvial projects.

Each year, 400 million cubic yards of sediment are dredged in the United States of which 3 to 5 percent is polluted and cannot be used beneficially or returned to the environment near dredging sites. Disposal of this polluted, dredged material is a national problem. One solution to this problem is to relocate and isolate polluted dredged material to the seafloor of the abyssal ocean, considered to include those depths greater than 300 m. SimDOR, a project sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, focused on simulation of the scientific and technical issues involved with this disposal option. SimDOR, which stands for Simulation of Deep Ocean Relocation of Dredged Material, concentrated primarily on sites of the abyssal seafloor of the North Atlantic Ocean and considered dredged material coming from to the eastern seaboard of the United States. Results from the SimDOR project are also generally applicable to west coast and Gulf of Mexico ports. The SimDOR project took advantage of recent advances in numerical modeling capabilities, simulation concepts, and visualization technology. Simulations identified are predicted effects of this disposal option including the dredging and relocation procedures as well as the resulting environmental impact. Simulation of the entire process from dredging through long-term impact on the abyssal environment allowed engineers, scientists. environmentalists, and the public an opportunity to study and understand all aspects of this option. Systems to dredge sediments, load containers, transport them to the ocean site, and ensure their safe descent to the abyssal seafloor were designed, simulated and evaluated.

This document is intended to serve as a consistent "roadmap" for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency personnel in evaluating the environmental acceptability of dredged amterial management alternatives. Specifically, its major objectives are to provide: A general technical framwork for evaluating the environmental acceptability of dredged material management, alternatives (open-water disposal, confined (diked) disposal, and beneficial uses). Additional technical guidance to augment present implementation and testing manuals for addressing the environmental acceptability of available management options for the discharge of dredged material in both ope water and confined sites. Enhanced consistency and coordination in USAC/EPA decision making in accordance with Federal environmantl statutes regulating dredged material management.

The varied use of dredgers has led to the development of a variety of dredger types, from small ones appropriate to modest inshore projects, to very large sea-going dredgers for large-scale projects calling for the storage of dredged material within the ship. This book, which is the first book dedicated to dredging and its environmental impact in the widest sense, contains chapters on dredging operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Spain, the US, China and Singapore. Additional chapters discuss more general aspects such as dredging techniques, monitoring of dredging operations, and the prospects of dredging in a changing environment. As well as providing information on dredging activities in different areas, it gives an insight into the activities and problems (environmental or other) involved in modern dredging. It will be of interest to professionals and students alike.
