evaluation, should be considered. If management actions are selected, no
further runoff evaluation is necessary.
5.5 Tier IV Runoff Risk Assessment
5.5.1 Tier IV Runoff Evaluation
Tier IV is intended to answer whatever specific, well-defined technical
questions may remain unanswered after thorough evaluation in earlier tiers. If
earlier tiers are used properly, Tier IV should rarely be necessary.
By the nature of the tiered evaluation approach, any technical questions that
remain unresolved after Tier III can best be answered by a detailed, case-specific
evaluation. By their very nature, detailed case-specific evaluations are not
amenable to the kind of generic guidance that can be presented in a national
manual. They require individual design to address unique technical questions
under site-specific conditions.
The best approach for Tier IV is usually a case-specific risk assessment.
Detailed guidance for conducting risk assessments for CDFs in Tier IV can be
found in Cura, Wickshire, and McArlde (in preparation). The information
generated in Tiers I through III should be used to the maximum extent technically
justified throughout the Tier IV risk assessment.
5.5.2 Tier IV Runoff Decision
After consideration of the Tier IV evaluation results, all relevant information
is available and no further evaluation is possible. One of the following
conclusions is reached.
1. No management actions are required.
2. Management actions should be considered. A decision to implement
management actions for runoff, such as placement of surface covers or
treatment, may require more detailed information for design of such
actions.
5.6 Runoff Management Actions
If the evaluation indicates that runoff may be a concern after consideration of
mixing, appropriate management actions may be considered. The runoff pathway
may require management as long as the dredged material is exposed to precipitation.
Management should take into consideration the short- and long-term physical and
chemical changes to dredged material that occur as a result of drying and oxidation.
Runoff management may include actions such as providing increased ponded area
and depth to minimize runoff discharge, treatment or filtration of runoff to reduce
the concentration of suspended solids and associated contaminants in the runoff,
