The document proposes constructing a beneficial near-shore confined disposal facility (CDF) to manage dredged sediments from maintaining navigation channels and removing an abandoned WWII submarine. A CDF would allow contaminated sediments to be isolated while beneficially reusing the material. It compares this option to landfilling or open-water disposal. Construction details and management plans to minimize air and water pollution impacts are provided. Modeling shows emissions would meet standards. Stakeholders generally support this sustainable and cost-effective solution.
