include actions such as modification of the operation (e.g., use of a smaller dredge

with reduced inflow rate, providing increased ponded area and depth of the CDF, or

relocation of the inflow and effluent discharge points), treatment or filtration of

effluent to reduce the concentration of suspended solids and associated contaminants

in the effluent, and treatment of effluent to remove dissolved contaminants.

Additional information on management actions and references for detailed guidance

on implementation are found in Chapter 10 of this manual.
