The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi, has
published a series of technical notes on dredging research now
available in this Web site.
Monitoring Considerations for
Capping
(Technical Note DRP-5-07)
This technical note describes monitoring considerations for capping
projects, including establishing monitoring objectives, designing
monitoring programs/plans, monitoring approaches, and monitoring
equipment and techniques.
Equipment and Placement Techniques
for Capping
(Technical Note DRP-5-05)
This technical note describes equipment and placement techniques
for capping projects. The equipment and techniques are applicable to
placement of contaminated material to be capped and clean material
used for capping, and include conventional discharge from barges,
hopper dredges, and pipelines; diffusers and tremie approaches for
submerged discharge; and spreading techniques for cap placement.
Site-Selection Considerations for
Capping
(Technical Note DRP-5-04)
This technical note describes site selection considerations for
projects involving the capping of contaminated dredged material.
General considerations in site selection and special consideration
of bathymetry, currents, water depth, and operational
characteristics are included.
Design Requirements for
Capping
(Technical Note DRP-5-03)
This technical note describes design requirements and a design
sequence for Level Bottom Capping (LBC) and Contained Aquatic
Disposal (CAD) projects. The procedures and sequence include
evaluation of capping and contaminated sediments, site selection,
equipment and placement techniques, mixing and dispersion
during placement, required capping sediment thickness, material
spread and mounding during placement, cap stability, and
monitoring.
