SAWJ welcomes Michael J. Marano, PE of WSP and Jo Wall of NJDOT to present on the Gateway Confined Disposal Facility.
The NJ Department of Transportation’s Office of Maritime Resources (NJDOT-OMR) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of over 200 nautical miles of shallow draft engineered waterways in six counties. This requires the dredging and management of 300,000-500,000 CY of sediment every year. Historically, much of this material was placed in upland confined disposal facilities (CDFs); however, many of these CDF’s are no longer available leaving many areas in the system with no dredged material management option. One option is to consolidate management sites and design them with the intention of renewing capacity through beneficial use of dewatered sediment. The Design Team of WSP USA, Inc. (WSP) and Gahagan and Bryant Associates (GBA) has been working with NJDOT-OMR for the past decade to come up with creative designs and innovative solutions.
