Description
Prior to the placement of any dredged material at the Historic Area Remediation Site (located about 6 miles off Sandy Hook, NJ in the Atlantic Ocean), the material must be sampled and tested to be sure that it meets the stringent requirements required by the USEPA. Prior to sampling and testing, a draft plan is developed by USACE that identities where in the channel samples will be taken based on historic dredging and contamination sources. This draft plan is then submitted to the USEPA for approval. Once approved, the USACE conducts the sampling and sends the samples to testing laboratories for testing.
