Environmental Stability of Chemicals in Sediments
An Intensive 3-Day Workshop
Hosted by USACE/ US NAVY/ S-SW HSRC/ USEPA/ NOAA/ USGS/ and SMWG

Objective: Conduct a 3-day workshop on the important biogeochemical and physical factors that modify the stability, mobility, and/or bioavailability of inorganic and organic contaminants in aquatic sediments; to explore the fate, effects and risks of sediment bound contaminants; to agree on general yet pragmatic guidelines for the assessment and management of contaminated sediments that may pose an unacceptable human health and/or environmental risk by answering the following questions:

     • How do we integrate our knowledge of sediment chemical stability
        to make pragmatic field decisions on the appropriateness of
        in-place remediation, sediment removal or natural recovery?

     • What should we measure to adequately assess before the fact and
        to quantify success after the fact?

     • Where and how should we measure?

     • How do we predict contaminant fate and associated risks within
        reasonable certainty?

Who: Panels of recognized government, academic and industry experts on various aspects of contaminated sediments

How: Facilitated discussions on subject areas leading to conclusions that can be applied to "real world" situations; posting presentations and conclusions on the Web <www.sediments.org>

Attendance: Open to public, but aimed at those interested in the management of contaminated sediments

DETAILED AGENDA (see "More Information" link below)

Cost: $225 - includes meeting materials, continental breakfasts (April 8-10) and lunch on April 9.
