and

criteria for the proposed pilot study project.

In general, the success of the pilot project will be determined by NJMR, and will be based on

demonstrating at the pilot level that the Georemediation TM process produces an evironmentally and

I

geotechnically acceptable end-product for use as soil fill at a total unit cost equal to or less than $35

per cubic yard at full-scale level.

transported to Rutgers University, where it will be screened, homogenized and characterized prior

to sediment treatment. As part of the Pilot study, BEM will conduct an initial bench-scale optimization of the

Georemediation TM technology. This initial bench-scale optimization involves evaluation of the

treatment efficacy for three different reagent mixes using three different mix ratios for each mix.

The results of the untreated sediment characterization will be used to design the three reagent

mixes.

The results of the pilot optimization stage will be evaluated to select the most suitable treatment

mixture for the pilot-scale treatment. The pilot-scale treatments will be conducted to simulate

The pilot study is the first step of a multi-staged process under the NJMR's program designed to

I

validate and develop new and innovative sediment decontamination technologies. The second

phase of the technology demonstration process, assuming successful completion of the pilot study,

involves conducting a sediment decontamination and beneficial reuse demonstration project at or

I

near full-scale field production rates.

The source of the dredged sediments for both the pilot and demonstration projects and for future

i

full-scale decontamination facilities originates from commercial dredging for the maintenance of

the navigable channels in the NY/NJ Harbor. Both the pilot study and the sediment

decontamination demonstration projects are contracted by the New Jersey Department of

Transportation (NJDOT), office of New Jersey Maritime Resources (NJMR). These projects will be funded under the Port of New Jersey Bond Act of 1996 (P.L. 1997 C.97).
