Post-dredging monitored natural recovery of surface sediments in an urban river
Purpose
Verification monitoring was performed over five years following the sediment remediation of the Buffalo River Area of Concern (AOC), New York, USA. Monitoring results were compared with surface sediment cleanup goals to determine whether natural sedimentation allowed the AOC to achieve long-term remedial goals without the placement of cover material to manage dredge residuals.
Material and methods
Monitoring was conducted two years and five years following sediment remediation and included: 1) bathymetric surveys to understand sediment stability and deposition rates, and 2) the analysis of surface sediment samples for four primary chemicals of concern (COCs), including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead, and mercury, to compare surface sediment concentrations over time with site-specific sediment remedial goals.
Results and discussion
The monitoring results demonstrated the following: 1) sedimentation is occurring, 2) a stable depositional environment is present throughout the Buffalo River AOC, and 3) measurable reductions in sediment concentrations were observed for PAHs, PCBs, lead and mercury in the newly deposited sediment. By Year 5, surface sediment chemistry results generally achieved the remedial goals throughout the Buffalo River AOC.
Conclusion
Monitored natural recovery (MNR) was effective in physically isolating dredge residuals in the Buffalo River AOC, following sediment removal. This post-dredging MNR approach met the surface sediment remedial goals in most areas, resulted in a protective and cost-effective project by not requiring the placement of clean cover material in the dredge areas, and was an environmentally sustainable strategy by eliminating the need to collect, transport, and place millions of kilograms of clean quarried material in the river.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Soils and Sediments (JSS) is devoted to soils and sediments; it deals with contaminated, intact and disturbed soils and sediments. JSS explores both the common aspects and the differences between these two environmental compartments. Inter-linkages at the catchment scale and with the Earth’s system (inter-compartment) are an important topic in JSS. The range of research coverage includes the effects of disturbances and contamination; research, strategies and technologies for prediction, prevention, and protection; identification and characterization; treatment, remediation and reuse; risk assessment and management; creation and implementation of quality standards; international regulation and legislation.
