May 1999

cellulose and biosolids at that location. The blend found productive for one site may not hold for

dredged material, cellulose, and biosolids from other sites. Therefore, bench-scale screening tests

at a minimum should be conducted on individual dredged material. In order to apply the

manufactured soil technology described in this technical note, appropriate WES scientists should

be contacted and/or a license should be obtained from Mr. Paul Adam, the inventor of patented

manufactured soil technology.
