Strategies and Technologies For Cleaning Up Contaminated Sediments in the Nation's Waterways: A Study by the National Research Council

摘要

There is no simple solution to the problems created by contaminated marine sediments. However, the NRC Marine Board study summarized in this presentation indicates that careful problem formulation and good information provide the foundation for good decisions in managing contaminated sediments. Incremental improvements can be made in decision making, remediation technologies, and project implementation that may result in cost-effective, socially acceptable, and environmentally sound solutions.
