Methodology for Sediment Quality Assessment Sample Clauses

Methodology for Sediment Quality Assessment. The management framework of dredged/excavated sediment in Hong Kong is implemented under a three-tiered approach as illustrated in Appendix A in accordance with the ETWB TC(W) No. 34/2002, which also sets out the guidelines for the assessment, sampling, testing and classification of sediment. Table 2.1 summarised the sediment quality criteria for sediment classification under ETWB TC(W) No. 34/2002. 34/2002 Contaminants Lower Chemical Exceedance Level (LCEL) Upper Chemical Exceedance Level (UCEL) Cadmium (Cd) 1.5 4 Chromium (Cr) 80 160 Copper (Cu) 65 110 Mercury (Hg) 0.5 1 Nickel (Ni)(1) 40 40 Lead (Pb) 75 110 Silver (Ag) 1 2 Zinc (Zn) 200 270 Arsenic (As) 12 42 Organic-PAHs (g/kg dry wt.) Low Molecular Weight PAHs 550 3160 High Molecular Weight PAHs 1700 9600 Organic-non-PAHs (g/kg dry wt.) Total PCBs 23 180 Organometallics (g TBT/L in Interstitial water) Tributyltin (1) 0.15 0.15 Note: (1) The contaminant level is considered to have exceeded the UCEL if it is greater than the value shown. Report Ref | Draft 1 | 9 March 2011 SSTP_V1 Page 3 Sediment is classified into 3 categories based on its contaminant levels:  Category L Sediment with all contaminant levels not exceeding the Lower Chemical Exceedance Level (LCEL). The material must be dredged, transported and disposed of in a manner which minimises the loss of contaminants either into solution or by resuspension.  Category M Sediment with any one or more contaminant levels exceeding the Lower Chemical Exceedance Level (LCEL) and none exceeding the Upper Chemical Exceedance Level (UCEL). The material must be dredged and transported with care, and must be effectively isolated from the environment upon the final disposal unless appropriate biological tests demonstrate that the material will not adversely affect the marine environment.  Category H Sediment with any one or more contaminant levels exceeding the Upper Chemical Exceedance Level (UCEL). The material must be dredged and transported with great care, and must be effectively isolated from the environment upon the final disposal.
