Synopsis of Research Needs Workshop: Development of Leach Tests for Contaminated Dredged Material Held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on 23-24 June 1988.

摘要

This report presents the findings of a research needs workshop on the development of leach tests for contaminated dredged material, held 23-24 June 1988 in Baton Rouge, LA. The workshop was hosted by the Louisiana Water Resources Research Institute and the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). The workshop participants reviewed results of research on test procedures developed by the WES and provided eight recommendations for directing future research in this area. Workshop panelists were of the opinion that research conducted to date was good and generally validated the basic technical approaches suggested by the 1984 Corps leachate quality working group. However, the consensus was that much research remains to be done before a leach test (s) will be available for routine use.
