is because Tier I is likely to resolve at least some issues, and Tier I provides much
of the information that will guide evaluation in higher tiers if that should be
necessary, including identification of the COC for the dredged material, CDF, and
pathway being evaluated.
Information on a variety of physical, chemical, and biological factors related
to the dredging site, the dredged material, and the CDF is important to maximize
the utility of Tier I. Information on these factors may exist in a wide variety of
sources, and the useful sources may differ for each dredging project. Therefore,
the following lists are intended merely to indicate possible sources and stimulate
thinking about sources of relevant existing information. Not all potential sources
will provide relevant information for every pathway, and sources not listed will be
helpful on others. It is not possible to determine in advance which sources will
provide information useful in Tier I. All involved parties should work
cooperatively to identify and obtain relevant existing information for use in Tier I.
Considerations relevant to the potential for the dredged material to be
contaminated include:
Sources of COC
Pathways of COC transport to the dredging site
Naturally occurring substances that may be harmful to biota
Urban and agricultural runoff
Sewer overflows/bypassing
Industrial and municipal wastewater discharges
Previous dredged or fill discharges
Landfill leachate/groundwater discharge
Spills of oil or chemicals
Releases from Superfund and other hazardous waste sites
Illegal discharges
Air deposition
Biological production (detritus)
Mineral deposits
The information gathering must be as complete as is reasonably possible,
including existing information from all reasonably available sources. This will
increase the utility of the Tier I evaluation and the likelihood that decisions
