Why a “multi-user” disposal site?
Large ports or industries can often afford to build disposal facilities for the contaminated sediment they dredge. But these “single-user” facilities do not accept contaminated sediment from other dredgers. And it is too costly and inefficient for everyone with a relatively small dredging project to build their own disposal facility. So it only makes sense to look at the feasibility of building disposal facilities that can accept contaminated sediment from a variety of dredgers and projects.
