“…Formal risk assessment procedures have not been adopted by many regulatory agencies or they have been applied mainly to dredging of contaminated sediments. Typically risk assessment takes the form of professional judgment based on the experience and expertise of parties engaged in project co-ordination [41].…”

“…Capping, which is typically used to isolate contaminated sediments from the surrounding environment (e.g. Simpson et al, 2002), may be used to restore habitats, especially restoring sediment character (Rees et al, 2002;Collins and Mallinson, 2006;Ware et al, 2010;Cooper et al, 2011a). The type of TSHD dictates the method and rate of discharge of material.…”

Physical and biological seabed impacts can persist long after the cessation of marine aggregate dredging. Whilst small-scale experimental studies have shown that it may be possible to mitigate such impacts, it is unclear whether the costs of restoration are justified on an industrial scale. Here we explore this question using a case study off the Thames Estuary, UK. By understanding the nature and scale of persistent impacts, we identify possible techniques to restore the physical properties of the seabed, and the costs and the likelihood of success. An analysis of the ecosystem services and goods/benefits produced by the site is used to determine whether intervention is justified. Whilst a comparison of costs and benefits at this site suggests restoration would not be warranted, the analysis is site-specific. We emphasise the need to better define what is, and is not, an acceptable seabed condition post-dredging.
