Contaminated sediments pose some of the most difficult site
remediation issues. Contaminated sediments typically reside in
spatially variable and dynamic systems subject to seasonal flow
variations and episodic storm events. The volume of sediments that
must be managed at particular sites often exceeds one million cubic
meters, dwarfing many contaminated soil sites. These sediments are
also associated with equally daunting volumes of water and efforts
to remove the contamination typically entrains even more water. The
environmental security of both NATO and partner countries is at
risk due to the pervasive nature of sediment contamination of
rivers, lakes and harbors. A NATO Advanced Research Workshop was
convened in Bratislava in May 2005 to discuss current approaches to
managing contaminated sediments and to identify research necessary
to overcome outstanding problems.
In this text, drawn from presentations and discussion of that
workshop, current approaches to the assessment and remediation of
contaminated sediments will be discussed with the emphasis on
in-situ management. Physical, chemical and biological approaches
for the assessment and remediation of sediments are all addressed.
Developing regulatory and strategic approaches are highlighted with
a special emphasis on the potential for biological remediation for
the management of contaminated sediments.
