Assessing contaminated sediments in the context of multiple stressors
G. Allen Burton,Emma L. Johnston +1 more
TL;DR: A systematic assessment of relevant ecosystem attributes and reference conditions can assist in understanding the importance of sediments in the context of other stressors, which will result in more effective management of watersheds and waterways.

Evaluation of simulated dredging to control internal phosphorus release from sediments: Focused on phosphorus transfer and resupply across the sediment-water interface.
Juhua Yu,Shiming Ding,Jicheng Zhong,Chengxin Fan,Qiuwen Chen,Hongbin Yin,Lei Zhang,Yinlong Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: This investigation indicated that dredging was capable of effectively controlling sediment internal P release, which could be ascribed to the removal of the surface sediments enriched with total phosphorus (TP) and/or organic matter (OM), coupled with the inactivation of P to iron (Fe) (hydr)oxides in the upper 20mm active layer.

Use of life cycle assessments to evaluate the environmental footprint of contaminated sediment remediation
Magnus Sparrevik,Tuomo Saloranta,Gerard Cornelissen,Espen Eek,Annik Magerholm Fet,Gijs D. Breedveld,Igor Linkov +6 more
TL;DR: The results from this study show that LCA may be a valuable tool for assessing the environmental footprint of sediment remediation projects and for sustainable sediment management.

In situ remediation of metal contaminated lake sediment using naturally occurring, calcium-rich clay mineral-based low-cost amendment
Hongbin Yin,Jincan Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effectiveness of two naturally occurring, low-cost calcium-rich clay minerals, Natural Calcium-Rich Acetane (NCSP) and Natural Caesars (NCAP), as potential in situ sorbent amendments for remediation of Pb and Cd using a sediment water microcosm and 15-day bioaccumulation assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemicals used for in situ immobilization to reduce the internal phosphorus loading from lake sediments for eutrophication control
Changhui Wang,Helong Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive review of the current available knowledge of chemicals used for the in situ immobilization technique, and the control effectiveness and stability of the chemicals as well as the physicochemical and ecological responses to the control are reviewed.

From comparative risk assessment to multi-criteria decision analysis and adaptive management: recent developments and applications.
Igor Linkov,F. K. Satterstrom,Gregory A. Kiker,C. Batchelor,Todd S. Bridges,Elizabeth Ferguson +5 more
TL;DR: A basic decision analytic framework is proposed that couples MCDA with adaptive management and its public participation and stakeholder value elicitation methods, and application to a realistic case study based on contaminated sediment management issues in the New York/New Jersey Harbor is demonstrated.

From optimization to adaptation: Shifting paradigms in environmental management and their application to remedial decisions
Igor Linkov,F. Kyle Satterstrom,Gregory A. Kiker,Todd S. Bridges,Sally Benjamin,David Belluck +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that an adaptive management approach combined with multicriteria decision analysis techniques would result in a more efficient management decision-making process as well as more effective environmental management strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Monitored Natural Recovery in Sediment Remediation
TL;DR: The overall approach for effective implementation of MNR for contaminated sediment sites is discussed, including documentation of source control, evidence of contaminant burial, and several lines of evidence that may be used to demonstrate natural recovery processes.

Risk-based decision making to manage contaminated sediments
Todd S. Bridges,Sabine E. Apitz,Leah Evison,Kymberlee Keckler,Mary Logan,Steve Nadeau,Richard J. Wenning +6 more
TL;DR: New methods that facilitate a more rigorous analysis of the multiple criteria considered in decision making have been developed and are proposed as an effective, efficient, and credible foundation for evaluating remedy alternatives at contaminated sediment sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of implementation and residual risk analyses in sediment remediation.
TL;DR: 2 types of risk that deserve careful consideration when evaluating remedy alternatives are reviewed, including those related to remedy implementation and residual risks.
