The objective of this focus area is to develop quantitative methods and tools to support risk analysis of the environmental and economic benefits/costs associated with the full range of available dredged material management options. The use of these risk analysis approaches will facilitate quantitative, comparison-based decision making when selecting management options for navigation dredging projects. The products of this focus area will provide defensible, quantitative support for risk-based decision making to manage contaminated sediments while minimizing operational and environmental costs. Additional benefits of implementing these products will be reduced controversy, conflict, and project delays while simultaneously increasing the Corps' credibility with other agencies that embrace the risk management process.
