Contaminated Sediment Management

Contaminated sediment management involves assessing and addressing polluted materials accumulated at the bottoms of water bodies like lakes, rivers, or estuaries. These sediments can contain harmful substances such as heavy metals, chemicals, or toxins that pose risks to aquatic life and human health. Management strategies may include monitoring, containment, removal, or capping contaminated areas to prevent the spread of pollutants and restore environmental quality. The goal is to safely reduce risks while maintaining the natural function of water ecosystems.
