  • Dredging
  • Waste Management
CONT

Tests of disposal mounds in 1990, more than 10 years after contaminated sediment and cap sediment placement (thickness not specified), showed no detectable contaminant migration.

CONT

Accordingly, one of the main environmental concerns, once physical stability of the disposal mound had been established, was migration of sediment through the cap.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dragage
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

En 1990, des relevés effectués plus de dix ans après les travaux par le USEPA dans un site de mise en dépôt recouvert (épaisseur non précisée) montrent qu'il n'y a pas eu de migration détectable des contaminants.

CONT

Une fois la stabilité physique du dépôt assurée, l'une des principales préoccupations environnementales concerne donc la migration possible des sédiments à travers la couche protectrice.
