Dredging the Hudson River

SRS Crisafulli follows the activities of our larger corporate cousins tackling tough environmental remediation dredging projects.  One of the toughest is the Hudson River EPA PCB GE cleanup.

Watch Hudson Dredging Video.

Dredging has resumed in the Upper Hudson River for the 2012 season - Phase II Year 2. Massachusetts based Cashman Dredging & Marine Contracting Co., LLC is performing the dredging.  The crews are working 24/6 on this seasonal, multi-year project.

350,000 cubic yards, or 400,000 tons, of sediment will be dredged from the Hudson River this year.  The sediment will be unloaded, processed, dewatered, and disposed of.

Cheers to Cashman Dredging & Marine Contracting as they move forward on this difficult river cleanup. 

 The Hudson River Dredging Project - read more

GE has published a series of technical papers for the Hudson River Dredging Project.  As this is a PCB project, evaluation of resuspension is critical.  A more abstract issue is a future looking model of species weighted fish fillet average PCB concentration for 2020 and 2046.  

You may also read about the Hudson River PCBs Superfund Site on the EPA website.  This project was debated and then planned for many years.  It is good news to see the execution phase vigorously continued.

    In this research, the levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in the marine sediments of Asaluyeh harbor, in the Persian Gulf. The samples were taken from industrial, semi-industrial and urban regions. The mean concentration levels of total (Σ) 18 detected PCBs were 514.32, 144.67 and 31.6 pg/g dw for the industrial, semi-industrial and urban sampling stations, respectively. Based on a multivariate statistical analysis, it was found that high contamination levels of PCBs in sediments collected...

    This paper describes use of a triple quadrupole GC/MS/MS method using Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode for sensitive and selective detection and quantitation of Organochlorine pesticides and PCBs. A database with optimized MRM transitions for all of the OCPs and PCBs, including relative retention times for all components, makes method setup possible within minutes. The use of GC/MS/MS MRM mode provides enhanced selectivity, specificity and sensitivity in complex matrices with potential co-eluting interferenc...

    Syncore Analyst: Evaporation to a defined volume with appendix, chiller and keeper solvent Polychlorinated biphenyls are suspected endocrine disruptors. They are enriched in the food chain which can result in elevated concentrations in fish and meat. The concentration of some PCBs is the subject of regulations and must be analyzed by reliable methods. Often, PCBs are extracted from a matrix. The obtained extract must be concentrated before analysis. It is then crucial to maintain a high analyte recovery in the...

    The 17.2 Allegro PCB Editor has improved backdrill capabilities. Backdrill data is now stored in the library padstacks and utilized at the design level during the analysis and backdrill generation process. Padstacks which do not have pre-defined backdrill information can be automatically updated at the design level by the entering the backdrill criteria prior to running backdrill. Design layers which are backdrilled will have Route Keepout Shapes generated to ensure design integrity is maintained with separate...
