Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site
Preliminary Design Report (April 2004)
The report conceptually describes Phase 1 and Phase 2 dredging process, from removal of sediment to disposal. It evaluates the full spectrum of existing dredging technologies, including
- dredging equipment
- esuspension control measures
- material handling and processing
- dewatering and water treatment processes
- transport to disposal locations
- composition of backfill and capping materials
- habitat replacement.
The report also includes design criteria based on EPA's draft performance standards, and other EPA criteria identified in the ROD (e.g., no transport of processed sediment by truck; dredged material to be disposed outside the Hudson River Valley).
