An NRC committee will conduct an independent evaluation of dredging projects that will look at the expected effectiveness of dredging contaminated sediments at Superfund megasites. The assessment will consider whether EPA's estimated risk reduction benefits are likely to be achieved in the time frame as predicted. Aspects of risk reduction include decreased potential for current and long-term exposure of human and ecological receptors and decreased potential for environmental dispersion of contaminants. The assessment will also consider the potential for short-term increases in risks due to resuspension during dredging.
