Contaminated sediment remediation is complex. Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) offers a robust framework for evaluating cleanup alternatives, improving environmental risk management.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Risk Assessment
  • Environmental Management

Background:

  • Sediment remediation presents unique challenges compared to land-based cleanups.
  • Innovation in managing contaminated sediment risks has been limited until recently.
  • Expert panel convened at the Third Battelle International Conference on Remediation of Contaminated Sediments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current sediment management decision-making processes.
  • To propose future strategies for effective sediment management.
  • To address the complexities and challenges in contaminated sediment remediation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current sediment management practices.
  • Discussion of challenges in contaminated sediment remediation.

  • Introduction of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) as a novel approach.

    • Main Results:

    • Current sediment management decision-making processes are reviewed.
    • Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) is presented as a key innovation.
    • Comparative risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis are integrated with MCDA.

    Conclusions:

    • MCDA provides a rigorous foundation for evaluating contaminated sediment remedy alternatives.
    • The proposed methods enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and credibility of decision-making.
    • Improved approaches are needed for managing environmental risks posed by contaminated sediments.
