After September 1997, only limited amounts of relatively clean mud will be allowed to go into the Mud Dump Site off the New Jersey coast. This means that, if the harbors must be dredged, something else will have to be done with the balance, approximately 3-4 millions tons of contaminated sediments per year. The Cement-Lock option offers a radically new solution. Instead of storing or chemically fixing these noxious wastes, they will be beneficially recycled and reused. The cement produced can be used for regular construction, including roads.
Atmospheric emissions are non-toxic and meet all environmental regulations.
Likewise, leaching tests for heavy metals indicate that this product performs better than regular cement - the heavy metals are completely immobilized.
