CONT

L'une des méthodes souvent envisagées et retenues pour gérer les sédiments contaminés est le recouvrement en milieu aquatique (capping). Cette technique consiste à placer les sédiments contaminés dans une dépression ou dans un site où les conditions hydrodynamiques assurent la stabilité des matériaux, et à les recouvrir d'une couche de sable ou de silt non contaminé d'une épaisseur variant de moins de un mètre à plus de deux mètres.
