Description:A national team of independent experts examined historical data for levels of metals and organic contamination in sediments that may be dredged from Baltimore Harbor shipping channels, including off-channel sites and harbor approach channels in the Chesapeake Bay. To help authorities as they manage large amounts of sediment taken from these channels — over three million cubic yards a year — the team evaluated the suitability of dredged sediments for innovative reuse. These potential uses include a range of applications, from manufactured topsoil to cement filler and building materials. To provide managers with a scientifically sound basis for determining potential innovative reuse options, the team assembled data and information to construct a frame for risk analysis and decision-making.
