2. RemediationOn-site remediation occurs for products such as:

A.Yard Waste

B.Sludge’s

C.Petroleum & Chlorinated Contaminated Soils

D.Wood Products

E.Sediment

F.Off-Site Soil Contamination

G.Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

H.Mix-Waste Contaminated Soils

Riverbend R3 Overview

● Convert waste streams into valued engineered products

● Recover, Remediate, Reclaim—A Better Way● Types of Waste Streams

● Non-Regulated Material● Hazardous and Regulated Non-Hazardous Material● Sludge’s

● Sediment

● Metals● Remediated Saleable Material

● Humus, Mulch, Soil, Sand/Gravel

3. RecycleClean, remediated materials are sold back to the public as:

A.Engineered Soil

B.Aggregates

C.Top Soil

D.Mulch

E.Humus

How Will Riverbend R3 Accelerate Sustainability?

A. Manage river channels and clean your waterways in a more ecological sustainable manner

B. Redirect natural resources such as sediment and repurpose them into building materials and engineered soils

C. Reduce contaminated soils sent to landfills: commercial property redevelopment

D. Leverage river locations for accessing nearby waste and low energy transportation to move large volume soils and sediments

E. Convert adjacent underutilized lands into beneficial community redevelopments

1. Reclamation

Convert waste streams otherwise being dredged or sent to landfills through

A.Waterway Sediment Harvesting

B.Municipal, Industrial, and Commercial Waste Streams

Why Should You Implement the Riverbend R3 Facility?

A. Economically manage shipping channels and remediate creeks, rivers, and waterways

B. Reduce annual dredging costs

C. Implement a regulatory approved innovative technology that cleans contaminated sediments, soils and waterways

D. An alternative to Combined Disposal Facilities (CDF)

E. Reuse natural resources now considered waste streams

F. Repurpose contaminated sites into clean, commercial development lands

● Convert waste streams into valued engineered products

● Recover, Remediate, Reclaim—A Better Way

1. Reclamation—Convert waste streams

2. Remediation—On-site treatment of wastes

3. Recycle—Clean material ready for use

Suction Dredging

A. Moderately invasive system

B. Suction tubes and pump

C. Suction tubes mechanically collects sediment

D. Sediment is collected and treated for reuse

Passive Sediment Collection

A. Minimally invasive system

B. Sediment traps installed into riverbeds

C. Traps continuously collect and pump sediment from river

D. Sediment is collected and treated for reuse

Benefits of Riverbend R3 Process to River Ports

A. The R3 process can be designed and engineered for varieties of:

i. Waterway sizes

ii. Water tributaries

iii. Canal tributaries

iv. Geological compositions

B. The R3 process is compact and mobile

i. Placed on contaminated site

ii. Placed on a strategic waterway tributary
