| Contaminated Sediment Management, Amendment,
"CDF White Paper"(DW14947887-01-1: $15,000) |
| Recipient: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great
Lakes and Ohio River Division |
| Project Period: 10/01/98 to 9/30/00 |
| Project Officer: Scott Cieniawski (312-353-9184) |
This agreement will enhance the understanding and management of
contaminated sediments in the Great Lakes by producing a report
investigating the use, monitoring, and environmental impacts of using
Confined Disposal Facilities (CDFs) to manage contaminated sediments. The
report shall be a detailed summary of the status of CDFs on the Great Lakes
constructed and operated by the Corps, including information about the
purpose of the CDFs, the types of designs and operations applied, the state
of knowledge on their environmental performance and impacts, and the net
environmental effects of CDFs on the Great Lakes. The majority of the report
will be extracted from a number of existing reports, white papers and
documents developed by and for the Corps and EPA. This project is envisioned
to provide a consolidated report summarizing information contained in
existing documents into one concise and consistent report. |
