Sediment Management Work Group

The Sediment Management Work Group (the `SMWG`) is an ad hoc group open to membership from industry and government parties with responsibility for management of contaminated sediments. As a group we are dedicated to the use of sound science and risk-based evaluation of contaminated sediment management options. Formed in early 1998, the Mission Statement of the SMWG is as follows :To advance scientifically sound approaches to improve sediment risk assessment, collect and share information to enhance and evaluate remedial technologies and alternatives, and promote risk-based and cost-effective sediment management decisions.
