Sediment Disposal

Sediment disposal involves managing and removing accumulated soil, sand, or debris that settle in water bodies, construction sites, or land areas. When natural or human activities disturb the land or water, sediments can build up, potentially causing flooding, harm to aquatic ecosystems, or hindering infrastructure. Disposal methods include spreading sediments on land, dredging and transporting them to designated areas, or treating them to reduce pollutants before disposal. Proper sediment disposal is essential for environmental health and infrastructure maintenance, ensuring that sediment buildup does not negatively impact ecosystems, water quality, or development projects.
