Beneficial Use of Dredged Material for the Delaware River: Lessons Learned
17 September 2020
This webinar provided an overview of the Delaware Beneficial Use of Dredged Material for the Delaware River (DE DMU) feasibility
study. The DE DMU feasibility study identified beneficial use opportunities for sediment dredged from a Federal navigation
project to provide coastal storm risk management (CSRM) benefits. Presented by Scott Sanderson (Coastal Planning Chief,
Planning Division, Philadelphia District) described the study's formulation process, while highlighting lessons learned related to
resource agency coordination, specifically concerning the Coastal Barrier Resources Act/Coastal Barrier Improvement Act and the
impact of environmental windows on dredged material placement. In addition, the presentation discussed the impact of the
navigation project Federal Standard on the benefit/cost analysis.
