The project was conducted in conjunction with Sasaki Associates and included permitting for initial and maintenance dredging, and for the marina facility. Prior to dredging, comprehensive contaminated sediment testing programs were also provided. Because of the proximity of this site to adjacent potential hazardous locations, this project received close scrutiny for contaminants by state and federal agencies. Dredge disposal alternatives included ocean disposal, disposal at Corps’ confined disposal facilities, and evaluation of the CDF on Drum Island. Ultimately, a new CDF designed specifically to accept contaminated sediments was constructed on nearby Daniel Island. Currently, contaminated material treatment alternatives include bioremediation, and use of a sand cap over exposed polluted sediments. JGT provided both environmental permitting services and environmental monitoring activities during construction through South Carolina DHEC-OCRM and Charleston District Corps of Engineers for this project.  www.ci.charleston.sc.us/maritime.html
