| Summary: | and marketing are paramount in determining the most application of the topsoil. The paper also presents a being considered. One of the proposed alternatives is to composition of the dredged material must be addressed since control the final selection for the test site are presented. convert dredged material to manufactured soil (artificial disposal sites is becoming increasingly difficult. dredged from the Texas waterways and ports. A majority of dredged material to topsoil as a beneficial use of dredged dredged material to topsoil. The economic factors that dredged material, sewage treatment facility, and potential Each year nearly 30 million cubic yards of sediment are economically feasible alternative. Location in terms of Experiment Station in conjunction with local USACE Districts facilities, and these disposal sites are being filled. As Manufactured soil is created using dredged material and manufacturing costs. markets all must be considered. The chemical and physical material in a confined disposal facility (CDF). The purpose material. The site selection in terms of location, material, of this thesis is to discuss the applicability of converting or saw dust). Manufactured soil helps reduce and recycle recyclable organic waste materials such as bio-solids (sewage reducing the area needed for the placement of dredged sludge), animal manure, yard waste, and bio-mass (cellulose term management of dredged material disposal sites by the amount of contaminants or salt has an affect on the the dredged material is disposed in confined disposal The factors include excavation, transportation, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Waterways Therefore, alternatives to confined disposal facilities are these sites reach capacity, land must be found and purchased to build new disposal sites. Constructing new confined to demonstrate the applicability of manufactured soil. topsoil). A limited number of studies have been conducted by wastewater sludge and provides an alternative for the long- |
