CONSIDERATIONS FOR CAPPING SUBAQUEOUS DREDGED MATERIAL DEPOSITS

This paper discusses capping which is the controlled, accurate placement of contaminated dredged material at a disposal site that is covered by a cap of clean, isolating material. The paper is based on several completed capping projects and offers a comprehensive summary of planning-level design and monitoring considerations. Site selection considerations for capping projects are similar to those for any open-water disposal. The influences of several types of site characteristics on capping are identified and discussed. Modeling methods are available to aid in evaluating sites and designs.
