Monmouth County, New Jersey
Underwater excavation, called dredging, often needs an initial excavation to establish a ship channel within a river or harbor. Maintenance dredging is the periodic dredging that must be done to keep the channel clear and safe for navigation. Port terminals and boat marinas have to remove sediments on a regular basis, and sometimes contaminated sediments are removed or capped to limit the release of contaminants into the water. Once sediments are dredged from the waterway, they are called dredged material.
Brilliant Environmental Services, LLC (BES) worked with a Monmouth County marina owner to complete appropriate pre-application sampling in preparation to submit for Army Corp and NJDEP dredging permits. Working with NJDEP the dredged material was deemed suitable for use on a redevelopment project in New Jersey. Overall the project improved the marina use, and the reuse of the material assisted economic development. BES collected all samples for the project and prepared all permit applications.
