CAD Site Geo-tubes and Capping One of our (LA District) first attempts at dealing with
Contaminated sediments. Lined dump scows with Geo-Fabric placed
Contaminated sediment in the scow and sewed it up Dumped the tube and buried it with clean cover material

Cement Stabilization
Add Cement or Fly Ash Small Percent Great Geotechnical Result Dry additive didn’t work, add in slurry form Labor intensive Fast acting pH Change mobilized some metals Bench testing required

CDF’s Easiest answer for now contaminants Removed from the
Environment Timing issues who has Envir. Clearances and Funding to
match up with others schedules Finite amount of space available On-Site Coordination/Management objectives need to be
met

CAD Site Great deal of opposition
If you remove once take it out• Lose quantity cost 25% removed at same price
Environmentally accepted other regions Locations available Small Pilot Test
Showed good results in subsequent monitoring We still need a caretaker

Sediment WashingSediment Blending
These were both Bench scale and Litriture investigations SW- Requires a large area and a lot of clean water to
flush out contaminates as well as time for contaminants to dissociate/release
SB- Take Good Sediment and bad sediment and try to make a mediocre sediment out of it by mixing typically with bulldozers and discs
