2 Background To develop BSR (Baltic Sea Region) in a sustainable way contributing to an extended interaction and co-operation sea transport is a key issue Dredging of fairways and ports have to be made and several million m 3 of sediments have to be dredged in the coming years A considerable part of the dredged sediments is contaminated with nonorganic and/or organic contaminants (e.g. trace metals, dioxins, PCBs, PAHs, TBT) Dump of sediments at the sea normally not allowed Land disposal most expensive Initial projects show large potential for innovations regarding beneficial use of treated contaminated sediments and knowledge transfer to get a BSR approach (e.g. the stabilisation/solidification method) Baltic Ports & Environment Seminar Malmö 7 December 2010

8 WORK PACKAGES (1) Number Name Description WP leader WP0 PREPARATION ACTIVITIES Preparation of the project proposal SGI WP1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION Management and co ordination of the project by LP and with help of Management Team SGI (lead partner, LP) WP2 COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION Information to the project stakeholders of BSR about the project results and outcome in order to implement and commercialise the results. LTU WP3 SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF HANDLING ALTERNATIVES Production of the methodology and examples to assess the sustainability of different alternatives for the management of contaminated sediments. LTU WP4 INVESTIGATION OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS SITUATION AND METHODS A comprehensive evaluation of the current contamination of the coastal areas, especially in the ports of BSR, testing of different mapping methods, and compiling of a review about the international, regional and national policies and legislation concerning contaminated sediments.

9 WORK PACKAGES (2) Number Name Description WP leader WP5 WP6 WP7 NEW EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES SOA AND NEW POTENTIAL VERIFICATION & DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS GUIDELINE AND RECOMMENDATIONS Baltic Ports & Environment Seminar State of the Art review of the methods for handling contaminated sediments, and evaluation of the applicability and potential of different handling methods including new alternatives. The Focus is on the s/s (stabilisation/solidification) technology. Thus, the WP includes gathering information about the binder potential, commercial and recycled components, within BSR The most important and innovative technologies and solutions for the management of contaminated sediments will be verified and demonstrated using laboratory and field tests. The focus is on the dredging, s/s method and binder contaminant efficiency. The field tests are carried out in Ports of Gävle, Kokkola and Gdynia, each port testing a different technology. The project results are compiled and integrated into comprehensive guideline and recommendations for the management of contaminated sediments. The guideline shall contain the expert knowledge of the project while being user friendly. CORPI LUT TUHH
