As a direct result of managing and coordinating hundreds of environmental projects, de maximis has developed the broad sophistication and expertise necessary to manage and coordinate the complexities associated with the remediation/restoration of a sediment site, whether it be a stream, a river, a canal, a lake, or a pond. We have worked closely with our clients, their counsel, regulators, industry-based work groups, congressional representatives and civic groups to help bridge the regulatory frameworks and advance cost-effective and scientifically sound approaches for making sediment management decisions.
Our experience with legislation regarding sediment include:
- Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
- Federal Water Pollution Control Act
- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
- River and Harbors Act
- Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act
- Water Resources Development Act (WRDA)
- Coastal Zone Management Act
- Endangered Species Act
- Great Lakes Legacy Act
Highlights of de maximis’ sediment project experience, as Project Coordinator, Project Manager, Construction Manager, Property Owner, or Fund Manager, include:
- Dredging management of sediment and sediment spoils, including large scale dredging of 2 million cubic yards
- Sub-tidal and land-based dredging and capping
- Removal and transport of sediment to containment landfill
- Subaqueous capping of sediment (as large as over 400 acres)
- Evaluation of potential recontamination sources and remedial alternatives and design
- Negotiation and successful acquisition of Great Lakes Legacy funding and WRDA funding
- Remedial Investigation and Risk Assessment of sediments (including contamination with PCBs, metals, pesticides)
