Integrated Strategy for Beneficial Use of Dredged Materials in Great Lakes Commercial Ports

项目名称：	Integrated Strategy for Beneficial Use of Dredged Materials in Great Lakes Commercial Ports
摘要：	Dredged material management options for Great Lakes commercial ports are diminishing. Many existing confined disposal facilities (CDFs) serving these ports are at or near capacity and high costs plus limited new site availability make prospects for new or expanded capacity increasingly unlikely. Restrictions on dredging have severe implications for freight movement in the North American midcontinent. Beneficial use (BU) of dredged materials as an alternative source of material for habitat restoration, earthworks, and transportation-related construction is emerging as a potentially attractive approach to sustainable material management in the region. This project builds directly upon previous efforts by the proposal team funded under National Center for Freight & Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE) RI-8: "Beneficial Use of Dredging Materials from Harbors and Channels." These previous efforts include planning of the recent beneficial use summit and development of a beneficial use technical framework. The proposed work plan is a natural extension of those efforts.
