Utilization of Passive and Active Mechanical Dewatering Technologies to Process Navigational Dredged Material on a Small Footprint

This paper reviews strategies used for dewatering, specific challenges addressed, and costs associated with the Shark River Channel and Spur dredging project in New Jersey, and how it could be replicated for other projects in densely developed areas where traditional management methods are not viable.
