• Innovative Technologies for Treating Contaminated Dredged Material
  This paper describes innovative technologies for treating contaminated dredged material for upland beneficial use and highlights examples of such projects throughout the U.S. and overseas. The paper was prepared for the Port of Long Beach, California. April, 2000
  
  
• Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediments (ARCS)
  Contain an analyses of sediment treatment technologies based on a 5-year study and demonstration project relating to the appropriate treatment of toxic pollutants in bottom sediments in the Great Lakes. The ARCS program was conducted by the Great Lakes National Program Office of the U.S. EPA between 1988 and 1994.
  
  
• SITE: Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation
  This U.S. EPS program encourages the development and implementation of innovative treatment technologies for hazardous waste site remediation and monitoring and measurement.

Several research efforts underway or completed examine the relationship between soil erosion and sediment control and dredging in the region.
