Investigations and Remediation
The management of contaminated sediments in the marine environment is a growing problem. Requirements include characterization, excavation, and management of solid and liquid phases of the dredge mud samples. CE offers services in:
CE staff has performed dredge sample collection for public and private sector clients utilizing vibracore samplers (for deep coring) and small clamshell samplers (for shallow surface sampling), utilizing Loran-C and Global Position technology for positioning surveys to mark out the location of all samples, and is experienced with the development of sampling collection, sample preparation (including homogenizing and compositing), sample preservation methods and holding times, chain of custody procedures, and sample analyses (including trace metal and trace organic testing, PCB and PCDD and PCDF testing, multiple leachate extraction procedures, and USACOE Sequential Batch Leaching and USACOE procedures for testing material proposed for ocean disposal. The technical staff at CE has the capability to identify, track the source, and evaluate the extent of potential impacts of marine pollution utilizing a combination of investigative techniques, including source inventory surveys, subsurface sampling, side scanning sonar, subsurface profilings, thermographic mapping, current profiling, and marine pollution transport and modeling analyses. Such techniques permit CE staff to identify potential sources of pollution, determine its extent and magnitude, identify potential point sources of pollution, map temperature profiles, determine the expected direction of transport on the subsurface environment, and model, if necessary, the projected path of the pollution.
