Approximately 270 to 285 million cubic yards of materially dredged annually by the US Army Corps of Engineering is reusable because it is NOT contaminated. Therefore, IDOT is interested in exploring possible uses of nonhazardous dredged material in roads, ports, intermodal facilities, and other applicable civic improvement programs that are in compliance with environmental regulations. This project aims to characterize the origin of the subject-dredged material because the method of dredging influences the material properties and potential reuse options; quantify dredging volumes across Illinois; identify existing limitations for reuse of such materials; and propose potential modifications to remove these limitations to increase the reuse of noncontaminated dredged materials. |
