P L BLI ( ’AT I ON OF THE EPA /CE TECHNICAL COMMJTT EE ’S FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
EPA 1)r. Frank Wilkes , Cochairman Dr. William Brungs Dr. Mark Carter Mr. W illiam S. Davis Dr. Jack Gentile I)r. Harold Kibby Dr. Paul Letcourt Dr. Michael D. Mullin
The joint Technical Committee on Criteria for E)redged and Fill Material is cochaired by Dr . Frank W ilkes of the EPA and Dr. Robert M. Engkr of the Cor ps. [he First Annual Report presents the first year ’s effort to coord inate and disseminate results of agency research related to regulatory functions pursuant t o Sect ions 404 and 103 of Public Laws (FL) 92-500 and 92-532, respect ively. .\ major goal of the Technical Committee is the development of a comprehensive manual for technical imp lementation of all ecological testing phases of PL 92500 and 92-532. (Publication of the Imp lementation Manual for Section 103 of PL 92-532 is discussed in the follow ing article.) Other objectives of the Technical Committee are to recommend needed research pr iorities Ifl order to implement fully Sect ions 404 and 103 . establ ish joint research projects and prior ities , conduct joint program reviews , avoid duplication of effort , and exc hange and disseminate research results. The Technical Committee will also review and evaluate interim testing procedures promulgated by the CE for immediate implementation by field units. The group was also constituted to make recommendations to toplevel agency management. The Technical Committee was organized as an interagency committee limited to staff who have broad know ledge, respons ibilities,and understanding of needs for research programs in dredged and fill material discharge activities. The Technical Committee consists of six subcor’imittees cochaired by EPA and CE personnel: the Bioassay! Bioevaluation , Area Definitions . Contaminants, Physical Impacts . Mixing Zone, and Fill Material Subcommittees. The scope of the Tec hnical Committee and respective subcommittees includes all pert inent research ,past ,present ,and future , conducted to determine the potential usefulness of or to modify methodologies to predict and determine eco logical impacts. It also includes the assembly and synt hesis of technical information for the purpose of deve loping an implementation manual suitable for conduct ing the evaluation mandated by both Section 404 and 103 of Pt. 92-500 and 92-532 . respecti sely. [he following members are currently appointed h ~ t he respective agencies:
CE [)r. Robert M. Engler, Cocha irman Mr. M. Burton Boyd Dr. John Harrison Dr. Jo hn W . Keeley Dr. Richard K. Peddicord Dr. Roger T . Saucier Presented in the First Annual Report is a listing of all related EPA and CE ongoing research programs directly related to dredged and fill material regulatory funct ions. The listing is presented and discussed by each subcommittee in order that there would be no duplication in recommending and assigning priorities for needed research programs. Presented also is a listing and thorough discussion of 16 research areas identified as requirements for comp lete implementation . of Sections 404 and 103 , w ith each area of research assigned an overa ll priority, projected costs , and duration of study. The effectiveness of the Technical Committee can best be judged by the program coordination described in the Annual Report and by t he research priorities described therein. Otherdirect measure s of effectiveness are t he workshops sponsored throug h the subcommittees to pursue highly specific goals for individual requirements of Section 404 and 103 of the Public Laws. Of equal importance. however , has been the significantly increased level of communication among CE and EPA research elements and field units. This increased communication will lead to a more effective and efficient management of each agency ’s respective regulatory and research program . Copies of the report may be purchased from the National lechnical Information Serb ice (address . 5285 ~ Port Royal Road. Springfield , V irginia 22 15 1) . In order ing, the NTIS II) number ADA 040 662 should be flient ioned . 2

effort of both agencies to develop procedurally sound. routinely implementable guidance for comply ing wit h the Federal Register. Evaluation of ecological ef f ects consists of two phases: selection of the appropriate tests or evaluation procedures and the interpretation of res ults for assessments of potent ial problems. The Implementation Manual defines the applicahiIit of ~ testing proced ures to the evaluations specified in the Federal Register and presents limitations in interpreting the results . [he Implementat ion Manual is applicable to all activities involving the discharge of dredged material into ocean waters. The procedures presented are useful in evaluating the discharge from hopper dred ges and from bottom- and end-dump barges and scow ~ . General approaches required for ecological evaluation involve estimation of potent ial impacts of the liquid, suspended part iculate, and so lid phases of dredged material: estimation of the hioaccumulation potential; and estimation of initial mixing. 1)etaikd procedures include sediment and water sam ple collection , preparat ion, and presersat ion: chemical analysis of the liquid phase: bioassavs of liquid, suspended part iculate. and sol id phases: est imat ion of bioaccumulation potential: the est imation of initiaf mixing; evaluation of prohibited materials: and interpretation of trace contaminant requirements The scope and comprehensi~cness of the required evaluation may be seen in Figure I, taken from the Implementation Manual. w i:ich shos ~s the sequence of evaluation that must be app lied. The Implementation Manual follows the general priority of importati ce of testing and evaluation procedures and the gencralo rder of test application given in the Federal Reg i.%u ’r . During the conduct of the DMRP . it hec.imc apparent that an understanding of ~ t he potential for ecological harm from the discharge of dred ged mater ial into aquatic systems requires substantial state-of-the-ar t improvement in a number of fundamental technologica l areas. Therefore , such state-of-t he-art improvement s were included in appropriate t)MRP tas ks and respective work units and alread have pros ided the ~ basis for the evaluation procedures as well as the discussion of the app licability and limitations of test results in the Implementation Manual. Contributing DMRP tasks , primarily those in the Environmental Impacts and Criteria Development Project (Fl(’l)P) managed by L)r. Engler . are listed in lable I. Ihe
An ecologicalevaluation ol the proposeddischarge of dredged mater ial into ocean waters to determine the potent ial for environmental impact is required by Section lO3 of PL92-532(Marine Protection , Researc h, and Sanctuar ies Act of 1972). Criteria for these eva luations were published in the Federal Register (Vol. 42 , No. 7, Tuesday , ii January 1977) by t he EPA. These criteria spec ified in Section 227. 27(b) that t he EPA jo intly w ith the CE would publish an implementat ion manua l pursuant to the criteria. The Implementation Manual would provide procedures for the evaluation of t he potentia l environmental impacts of thedischarge of dredged material into ocean waters: an evaluation that is required in considering permit applications for the transportat ion of dredged mater ial for ocean dumping. The task of develop ing the specific approaches and procedures to be used in the evaluation process was undertaken by the EPA CE Technical Committee on Cr iteria for Dredged and Fill Material (see Dredged Mater ial Research Program (DMRP) Information Exchange Bulletin MP D-76-4 . Apr il 1976). At the request ofthe Office ,Chiefof Engineers ,and the Marine Protect ion Branch (EPA). the Environmental Effects Laboratory (EEL) of the Waterways Experiment Stat ion (WES) published this manual forthe evaluation of perm it applications and development of statements of findings, P r e p a r a t i o n and p u b l i c a t i o n of the Implementation Manual was conducted under the technical guidance of Dr. Richard K. Peddicord. EEL. Dr. Peddicord also co-chairs the Bioassay, Bioeva luation Subcommittee of the Technical Committee w ith Dr. Jack H. Gentile of the Environmenta I Research Laboratory. EPA . Narrangansett , Rhode Island. [ he manual was published and distributed in July 1977 to all Corps and EPA field elements in a document entitled “Ecolog ical Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged Material into Ocean Waters ” (referre d to as t he Imp lementation Manual and available from WESa s a joint EPA CE publication). Procedures in the Imp lementation Manual represent a multidisciplinary

appropriate tasks are listed with the respective evaluation category from the Federal Register. Related research by the EPA was coordinated throug h the Technical Committee. The implementation Manual , however , is not intended to establish standards or ri gid criteria and should not be interpreted in such a manner , Theretore , the document attempts to provide a balance between the technical state—of—the-art and routinely imp lementable guidance for using the procedures specified in the Federal Register and is expected to provide a continuity among the Corps Districts and the EPA’ s evaluation programs for Section 103 permit activities. The Implementation Manual is particularl y important for forming a foundation to be augmented by more meaningful and comprehenst’ e evaluat ion ~ procedures and guidelines as these evolve from current and future DMRP and EPA environmental research. interagency coord ination of the respective programs and the development of the joint agency procedures manual is being implemented by the EPA ‘CE Technical Comm ittee on Criteria for Dredged and Fill Material. It is anticipated that the implementation Manual will be updated rout inely through this interagency committee as new and more implementab le evaluation procedures are developed and verit ’ied. l’he Implementat ion Manua l will remain in effect until publication of a new edition of the joi nit agency manual.

* * * * * CONVENTIONAL DENSIFICATION TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE DISPOSAL AREA STORAGE CAPACITY
of WES makes an engineering evaluation of the app licability of conventional techni ques used in soil mechanics and foundation eng ineering and hs industries to dewater ~ densify large containment areas, No ori ginal research was conducted during this studs . The results of the eng ineering evaluation were one basis for the selection of techni ques to be evaluated further.
Scarcity of dredged material land disposal sites and limited storage capacities of sites have indicated that special priority must be given to the problem of improving containment areas. A study performed as Work Unit 5A03 , “State-of-the-Art Applicability of Conventional Densification Techni ques to Increase [)isposal Area Storage Capacity, ” represents an essential step in research to develop and , or test promising techniques for increasing disposal area capacity and minimizing the number of new disposal areas. The study of d e w a t e r i n g , ”densification methodologies by the Soils and Pavements Laboratory
ENGINEERIN G PROPERTIES OF DREDGED M A TERIO4 L Dredged material varies from sands to silts and fine-grained plastic silty clays and clays. When it is deposited hydraulically, it has water contents alter sedimentation which differ from those normally encountered in eng ineering practice. When dred ged material is pumped into a confined disposal area, the

solids content may range from 7 to 25 percent by weight or water contents rang ing from about 300 to 1300 percent because of such factors as the p ipeline pump ing system transport velocity , pump speed, and diameter and length of discharge lines. It is essentially saturated. Uhe n a t u r a l water content immediately after sedimentation is several times the Atterberg liquid limit (LL). After some surface drainage and drying has occurred , the limited data available suggest water content about equal to the LL. Once dredged material enters a confined disposal area , entrance and exit effects generall y result in nonuniform deposition of materials over the entire area and varying soil properties. The settling velocity is influenced by environmental factors such as salinity, temperature, turbulence , and clay mineralogy, If dred ged material is left undisturbed , natural dewatering/ densifying will occur to some extent. Dewatering (the removal of water from the soil) is a method for soil improvement which consolidates the soil. in fine-grained soils , dewatering results in the removal of part of the pore water and in reduction of pore pressure. It speeds up consolidation and is accompanied by an increase in strength and reduction in compressibility. In time , surface and base drainage effects some lowering of the groundwater level; a surface crust forms from desiccation; secondary compression effects develop; and consolidation occurs as the effective weight of soil above the lowered groundwater level increases from its submerged wei ght to its saturated weight. Placing dredged material in thin lifts and allowing natural dry ing to occur could reduce water contents to near the Atterberg plastic limit (P1).
relatively large because of the small size of the disposal area. So, alternate methods , which mi ght include such techni ques as loading, ponded water surcharges . surface vacuum mats , drainage , pump ing, wellpo ints . desiccation , or chemical treatments , must be found to dewater densil ’v containment areas. PH YSICA L METHODS Soil mechanics and foundation eng ineering use ph ysical m e t h o d s to reduce postconstruct ion settlements and increase shear strengths and bearing capacities of soft soils. Drainage techni ques , for instance , can increase the storage capacity of disposal areas by accelerating soil stabilization and increasing the settlement. Various types of verti cal drains , such as the Kjellman drain , are used for dewatering soft soils, The Kjellman drain consists of a cardboard sleeve which has small open channels that conduct water under pressure vertically to a drainage layer , with the cardboard acting as its own filter. The Geodrain , developed by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute , utilizes an inne r piece of plastic with grooves that conduct water and is surrounded by an outer hea s ~ paper that serves as a filter. Drainage techni ques combining pump ing with large vacuum pumps appear promising and most practicable where the quantity of water to be pumped is not large. The effectiveness of underlying drainage layers ma~’ be substantially increased if a partial vacuum in the drainage lay er is maintained by vacuum pumps attached to or operated in conjunction with the groundwater lowering system. Drainage treatments may produce effective stresses as great as those produced by 5 to 10 ft of temporary surcharge loading. From this standpoint , drainage treatment concepts are efficient means of increasing the necessary effective stresses which cause densifi cation in dredged material. Ditch ing is also important in draining confined disposal areas. The Dutch employ the Amphirol s-chicle , which is propelled by rotating cylinders that have a spiral cutting edge. About 2 months after sedimentation and decanting of free water in dike-confined dredged material of about I m thick , the vehicles are used and leave ditches of about 10 cm deep. When the first layer has ri pened suf ficient ly . the process is repeated until
DENSIFICA TION TECHNiQUES After some drainage has occurred and a crust has developed , some conventional densification treatments may be practical. For instance , loading (the temporary earth surcharge on the surface of a disposal area) is virtually impossible until after the disposal area has been somewhat drained and a surface crust has formed. Actual conditions of the site , as well as economics and the available time frame , will govern the appropriate method. Economically, dike raising is usually the lowest cost alternative for increased storage capacity. But dike raising is not always permissible or feasible, e.g.. legal and environmental considerations; or the cost may he

Chemical treatments used by the phosp hate and aluminum industries were also evaluated to determine the potential application of these procedures to dredged material. Phosp hate mining uses a washing process to produce a clay slurry waste product called slime , which is pumped into settling ponds constructed in the minedout areas. The average solids concentration of the slime ranges from 2 to 6 percent by wei ght. Even thoug h the industry reuses supernatant water released Irom the suspension as settling progresses , the settling process is quite slow and the large volumes of slurry exceed the volume of mined-out matrices. The p hosphate industry has been study ing ways to dewater slimes more rap idly for many years. In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. the Tennessee Valley Authority conducted studies of various methods and found that while it was technically feasible to dewater the slime suspension to 50 percent solids by severa l different methods, the expense of app ly ing any of the processes was significantly greater than that of storing in ponds. Waste products from the production of alumina , bauxite residue , have also undergone various studies to obtain increased consolidation and minimize land area required for storage . Chemical densification treatments at this time do not appear applicable for increasing disposal area storage capacity.

_ CONCLUSIONS A.-VD R E C O M M E\ D A i’I O. .’..S, E c o n o m i c s and actual environmental and eng ineering conditions at a disposal site will govern which techni que is selected. While densification of disposal area soils to a water content about equal to the Atterberg LL is considered achievable by simple means . additioi ~al storage volume is more difficult to obtain. Properl y desi gned soil treatments require laboratory tests , borings , experience , and judgment. Special problems and shortage of data and knowledge exist when analyzing dewatering, - densification for dredged material in disposal sites. Consolidation properties that are regarded as constant in conventional soils eng ineering practice are variable when consolidation takes place over a large range in void ratios. Dredged material sedimentation and consolidation are a combined and continuous process unlike conditions in conventional engineering practice wherein only the consolidation phase is considered. Further , initial conditions are inadequately known. The effects of secondary compression during sedimentation and consolidation before start ofdensificacion treatment are considered to be of major importance in determining the initial water content and density of dredged material. Further research is recommended in severa l a reas . to include not only laboratory research , hut field tests as well. The report was written by Mr. Stanley J. Johnson . Mr. Robert W. Cunny, Dr. Edward B. Perry . and Mr. Leslie Devay, all of the Soils and Pavements Laboratory, as a part of the D M R P Disposal Operations Project (Mr. Charles C. Calhoun . Jr..

the desired hei ght of the dike is reached. Underdrains are sometimes used to accelerate consolidation. A similar but larger and more effective vehicle, the Riverine Utility Cra ft (RUC) , has been evaluated by the DMRP. Desiccation from improved surface drainage is one techni que which is generall y app licable in vary ing degrees and imp lies low-cost treatment. Eng ineering experience has shown that in a vegetative root system demand environment where normally consolidated soils were expected , subsoi l s were f o u n d to be preconsolidated by as much as 500 psf. The reduction of s o i l m o i s t u r e c o n t e n t a n d t h e increased preconso l idation stress was of major benefit , Densification by vegetative desiccation may be of importance in increasing available disposal storage.
