OSTI ID:6906856
Sediments in New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, have been contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl compounds and heavy metals. The high levels of contamination have resulted in the New Bedford site being placed on the National Priorities List of the Nation's worst hazardous waste sites. The US Army Corps of Engineers has been working since 1986 in efforts to evaluate remedial action alternatives for this site. The purpose of the EFS was to evaluate the engineering feasibility of dredging and selected disposal alternatives for removal and disposal of contaminated sediment from the New Bedford Superfund Site. Results of the EFS are presented in a series fo 12 reports. Reports 1-11 present detailed results of field investigations, laboratory studies, and engineering analyses. This executive summary highlights information from the first 11 reports and presents results of the EFS.
