Lower Passaic River Restoration Project: Draft Source Control Early Action, Focused Feasibility Study, Appendix I Dredged Volume Estimates

The Lower Passaic River Restoration Project ("the Study") is a comprehensive study of the 17-mile tidal portion of the Passaic River and its watershed. During the course of the Study, sediments in the lower eight miles of the river were identified as a major source of contamination to the 17-mile Study Area and to Newark Bay. Therefore, this Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) was undertaken to evaluate a range of remedial alternatives that might be implemented as an early action to control that major source. Appendix I outlines the methodology and results of the calculation for the sediment removal volumes from river mile (RM) 0 to RM8.3 (i.e., the Area of Focus) for the six remedial action alternatives considered in the FFS.Draft Contractor Document: Subject to Continuing Agency Review; Prepared for the US Environmental Protection Agency, US Army Corps of Engineers, & New Jersey Department of TransportationThis is document is an appendix to the FFS, see related documents for the main text and the other appendices.Purpose: to evaluate a range of remedial alternatives that might be implemented as an early action to control sediments that represent a major source of contamination
