MANUFACTURED SOIL FIELD DEMONSTRATIONS ON BROWNFIELDS AND ABANDONED MINELANDSLee, C.R., U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS. Report No: ERDC TN-DOER-C25, pp, Dec 2001
The purpose of this technical note is to describe the use of dredged
material in manufacturing topsoil for restoration of brownfields and
abandoned mine lands. Dredged material was shown to be very effective in
the restoration of both a brownfield site in Pittsburgh, PA, and an
abandoned acid mine drainage site at Vintondale, PA, in the short term. The
recycled soil manufacturing technology combined dredged material, available
residual waste material (e.g., paper fiber), and biosolids such as
Biosolids compost, Biosolids incinerator ash, or BionSoil(R). The
applications of recycled soil were overwhelming successes, and the use of
reconditioned dredged material can be recommended for similar brownfield
redevelopment and abandoned acid mine drainage sites. Contact: Dick Lee,
