Conclusions Remediation of Contaminated Sediments
Contaminant attenuation by natural processes are a part of all sediment management options
Selection of management options requires site-specific analyses and assessment of natural processes
Risk is defined by contaminant exposure in or potentially in biologically active zone of sediments
- Bioaccessibility (opportunity)
- Bioavailability (potential availability)
- Bioassimilative capacity (accumulative potential)
A variety of processes need to be better understood to assess this risk
