OSTI ID:6114756

The State of Washington Department of Ecology has entered into a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to act as lead agency in the implementation of Phase I Remedial Investigations for the Commencement Bay Nearshore/Tideflats Superfund Site, Washington. Superfund remedial action may involve removing and handling contaminated sediments found in the bay. In addition, ongoing and proposed navigation activities in Commencement Bay require dredging and disposal of contaminated sediments located in the nearshore areas. As a result, Superfund site investigations and planning of navigation projects require identification and evaluation of alternative methods for dredging and disposal of contaminated sediments.
