Determining Recovery Potential of Dredged Material for Beneficial Use - Debris and Trash Removal

Abstract : Dredged material stored in confined disposal facilities (CDFs) often contains significant amounts of trash and debris. Removal of this trash and debris is usually necessary to upgrade the material before it can be put to alternate beneficial uses and free up disposal facility capacity. This technical note describes equipment and techniques that may be used for the removal of these materials. It is one of a series of DOER technical notes on Determining Recovery Potential of Dredged Material for Beneficial Use, about methods of extending the life of CDFs by removal of the dredged material for beneficial use.
