7.7 Volatile Emissions Controls

7.7 Volatile Emissions Controls

If evaluation of the volatilization pathway indicates air quality may not be

acceptable after consideration of dispersion, appropriate actions to manage air

quality may be considered. Management actions for air quality may include

capping of the dredged material to effectively seal off volatile releases, or

treatment of the dredged material to reduce volatile releases upon disposal.

Additional information on management actions and references for detailed guidance

on such actions are found in Chapter 10 of this manual.
