The latest CEDA Information Paper is discussing crucial concepts for setting turbidity limits, which allow for cost-effective dredging operations and also protect the environment.
“In 2016, the CEDA Environment Commission (CEC) conducted a survey, of companies and organisations working with dredging, to investigate which environmental turbidity limits existed for dredging projects, how they were set, and how the environmental limits affected the projects financially and operationally. Interestingly, the survey showed that compliance monitoring contributed about 1–5%, on average, to the cost of the dredging project,” CEDA said.
