Support
the
demonstration
of

technologies
and

of
potential
beneficial
uses
of

Key
Partners:

GLNPO,
Region
2,
ORD
Actions
Underway:

The
demonstration
of
decontamination
technologies
along
with
the
development
of
marketable
end­
products
is
being
actively
promoted
by
Region
2
and
GLNPO.
Region
2,
working
in
New
York/
New
Jersey
Harbor
in
cooperation
with
New
Jersey
DOT,
is
investigating
a
sediment
washing
process
whereby
a
manufactured
top
soil
and
bricks
are
produced,
and
two
thermal
treatment
processes
in
which
a
blended
cement
and
lightweight
aggregate
are
potential
marketable
final
products.
The
sediment
washing
project
has
been
completed
and
the
blended
cement
and
lightweight
aggregate
demonstrations
are
scheduled
for
FY
2002
and
2003.
GLNPO
is
currently
supporting
two
technologies:
a
glass
vitrification
technology
which
produces
construction
fill
(with
the
potential
for
roofing
shingles
and
floor
tiles);
and
a
thermal
process
examining
blended
cement
as
an
end
product.
The
vitrification
project
has
been
completed
as
part
of
a
joint
effort
with
Wisconsin
DNR
on
the
Fox
River.
The
blended
cement
project,
a
cooperative
project
with
Michigan
DEQ,
is
scheduled
for
the
summer
of
2002.
Through
the
SITE
Program,
ORD
is
providing
analytical
support
to
provide
independent
verification
of
the
results
of
the
treatment
technology
processes.

Actions
Planned
Over
Next
2
Years:

Region
2
plans
to
complete
two
demonstration
and
report
on
the
Cement­
Lock
and
lightweight
aggregate
technologies.
GLNPO
will
conduct
the
Cement­
Lock
process
on
the
Detroit
River
sediments.
Reports
describing
the
environmental
as
well
as
economic
effectiveness
of
all
demonstrations
will
be
completed
and
distributed.

Products
Expected
by
2006:

1.
Demonstrations
and
final
reports
for
above
projects
completed
and
published.
2.
Complete
economic
evaluations
of
marketable
final
products
along
with
development
of
cost
estimates
for
running
full
scale
operations
of
each
technology
tested.
