This report presents the results from an investigation of the feasibility of using dredged material in solid waste management. Potential uses investigated included the construction of cover, liners, gas vents, leachate drains, and gas barriers at sanitary landfills. The properties of dewatered dredged material were compared with those of similar types of soil, and the suitability of dredged material to fulfill the functional requirements of various uses of soil at solid waste disposal operations was evaluated on the basis of the comparison. The suitability of slurry or semisolid dredged material was also evaluated. This report discusses the environmental and economic factors that will influence the feasibility of using dredged material in solid waste management. How the different uses for dredged material can be coordinated with dredged material and solid waste disposal operations occurring simultaneously or sequentially at the same location are also discussed. Concepts are presented to suggests the types of operations that could result if dredged material were used in solid waste management. The investigation concluded that dewatered dredged material can meet the functional requirements of several uses for soil at a sanitary landfill, that uses for semisolid dredged material are limited to situations in which trafficability is not a consideration, and that trench and area methods of sanitary landfilling are adaptable to the use of dredged material.

Dredged Material and Mine Tailings are two of the same thing once they are deposited on land: they must be safe-guarded, wash-out must be prevented, and they must be protected by a plantcover. This comprehensive two-volume treatise covers both important aspects of their management: Environmental Management of Solid Waste turns to the practical applications, such as prediction, restoration and management, while in Chemistry and Biology of Solid Waste the principles and assessment are scientifically studied and discussed. Previously, dredged material was a commodity, it could be sold as soil, e. g. to gardeners. In the meantime, dredged material from the North Sea (e.g. the Rotterdam or Amsterdam harbor) must be treated as hazardous waste. Many environmentalists, managers and companies do not know how to solve the inherent problems. This new work deals with the chemical, physical and biological principles; the biological and geochemical assessment; the prediction of effects and treatment; and finally, with restoration and revegetation. It is written by many leading scientists in the various fields, and will prove invaluable for managers and politicians who are concerned with the present environmental situation.

This manual provides guidance for planning, designing, developing, and managing dredged material for beneficial uses, incorporating ecological concepts and engineering designs with biological, economical, and social feasibility. Beneficial uses of dredged material have been proven on numerous sites in United States waterways. This manual will be helpful to scientists and engineers responsible for dredging and dredged material disposal using environmentally, economically, and socially sound techniques and beneficial use management strategies. Ten broad categories of beneficial uses have been identified, based on their functional use of dredged material at disposal sites. They are: (1) Habitat development (wetland, upland, island, aquatic, including migratory and nesting use by waterbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and other groups). (2) Beach nourishment. (3) Aquaculture. (4) Parks and recreation (commercial and noncommercial). (5) Agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. (6) Strip mine reclamation and solid waste management. (7) Shoreline stabilization and erosion control. (8) Construction and industrial use (including port development, airports, urban, and residential). (9) Material transfer (fill, dikes, levees, parking lots, roads). (10) Multiple purpose.
