Documented successes of phytoreclamation are somewhat limited and are, to date, unlikely to
represent conditions found in specific dredged materials. Thus, testing each dredged material is
necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of various phytoreclamation techniques. This may include
comparing various plant species on contaminant removal/reduction or effects of soil amendments
to enhance phytoreclamation. Additional tests may include effects of plants to reduce contaminant
movement in surface water runoff. These tests should be conducted using standardized procedures
currently used in the assessment of dredged material.
