EBC Contaminated Sediment Site Management Series
Part 1 - Advances in Sediment Site Characterization
Friday, September 23, 2011
Brown Rudnick 1 Financial Center 17th Floor Boston, MA
This EBC seminar series will focus on the unique issues of contaminated sediment sites. After
decades addressing upland source areas, there has been a significant shift toward assessing and
remediating contaminated sediment sites. Contaminated sediment sites are far more costly to
assess and remediate than typical upland sites and thus optimizing the management approach to
sediment sites is critical to both reducing costs and gaining regulatory closure. To assist
responsible parties, consultants and regulators with the management of sediment sites, the EBC has
organized a series of three seminars that will highlight 1) Advances in Sediment Site
Characterization, 2) advances in Sediment Remediation Technologies, 3) and Lessons
Learned from completed projects. The overall intent of highlighting technologies and methods that
achieve regulatory compliance while minimizing cost while managing contaminated sediment sites.
If you are involved in contaminated sediment site management this is a must attend seminar
series!!
Part I: Advances in Sediment Site Characterization will focus on site characterization
approaches (including the use of available technologies) that will help stakeholders gain a better
understanding of the nature and extent of contamination in order to develop effective remedial
strategies and their associated risks.
