Pier 7 Activated Carbon Demonstration Project

Page last updated 8/21/2017

Introduction

Successfully demonstrating the delivery, placement, and effectiveness of in-situ treatment materials in active harbors has the potential to reduce costs, shorten recovery times, and provide more effective alternatives to traditional methods of remediation for a wide range of sites with contaminated sediment. The Pier 7 Activated Carbon Demonstration Project was initiated to demonstrate and validate placement, stability, performance and persistence of reactive amendments for treatment of contaminated sediments in active Department of Defense (DoD) harbor settings. The goal of this demonstration is to conduct a full scale (minimum 0.5 acre) amendment application at an active deep-water harbor location adjacent to Pier 7 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediated Maintenance Facility (PSNS&IMF) located in Bremerton, WA. This page provides a list of reports, deliverables, and supporting information produced from the study.
