Current Issues in Dredged Material Disposal COPRI BUDM Subcommittee

Outline Federal Laws Governing Disposal Common Disposal Methods Beneficial Use Examples Confined Disposal Facilities Innovative CDF Re-use Ways to Increase Beneficial Use CDF Harvesting

Federal Laws Governing Dredged Material Disposal 300 million cy annually $500 million to $1 billion spent annually between 2005 to 2010 Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 Clean Water Act NEPA Rivers and Harbors Act; Coastal Zone Management Act; Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act; and Endangered Species Act

Common Dredged Material Disposal Methods Ocean Disposal In-river Disposal –In-stream –capped CDFs –Approx 80% Beneficial Use –Approx 15%

Beneficial Use as Beach Nourishment

Confined Disposal Facilities Engineered diked impoundments to provide containment and control dredging operation produced water three types of CDFs: Upland, Shoreline, and Island. Managed over time to gain additional capacity through DMMP Eventually run out of capacity ERDC 2010 Study –Sustainable Confined Disposal Facilities for Long-term Management of Dredged Material (ERDC TN-DOER-D10).

CDF Construction

Innovative CDF Re-Use

Increase Beneficial Use Multi-purpose dredging projects Policy, Process, Practice –National Dredging Team –Regional Dredging Team –Local Planning Groups –Houston-Galveston Navigation Channels Texas Project Cost Benefit Evaluation & Application of Federal Standard

CDF Harvesting ERDC three factors: –1. Minimize dredging volume placed into the CDF. –2. Manage the CDF to maximize capacity. –3. Maximize recovery/removal of material. Material readily available Avoids comparison with Federal Standard Issues to Resolve

Volume and suitability Access Ownership Other Case Studies –Philadelphia District –NY District –Seattle District –Mobile District –Great Lakes Commission

Case Studies Consider –1969, Philadelphia District excavated from CDFs to provide more capacity –New York District is investigating feasibility of centralized public dredged material processing facility where material is brought, processed, and distributed –Seattle District tests material for BU and supports interagency forum for re-use –Mobile District has a full time PM dedicated to finding BU opportunities since they are out of capacity –Galveston District constructing CDFs 20 years ahead of schedule due to excess sediments

Great Lakes Commission CDF Harvesting 2003 USACE/EPA Study & Report on Great Lakes CDFs Effects on ecosystem and concern for potential contaminant leaking and harm to wildlife using a CDF 90 million cy contaminated sediments removed from the ecological system and 99.9% contaminants contained Potential for harvesting clean sediments for re-use Web site and report

Current CDF Harvesting Plan for Coastal Louisiana 60% dredged volume in Gulf of Mexico region Severe sediment deficit for marsh restoration CDFs at or reaching capacity

Current Disposal Issues For example: Calcasieu Ship Channel Project does not have adequate dredged material disposal capacity, gross dredging to be 97 million cy, current CDF capacity is 5 million, DMMP looked at 4 alternatives: –A. no action –B. create 6,306 ac marsh and expand CDF –C. create 10,030 ac marsh and expand CDF –D. ocean dredged material disposal Alternative B was preferred with cost estimate of $865,863,000

Estimated Dredged Material Volumes 650 million cy vs million cy needed annually for marsh restoration Additional future sediments from annual maintenance dredging –NO District 91 million cy –Galveston 25.9 million cy –Mobile 27 million cy
