Talking about management firstly means to qualify sediments in the correct way: are they waste or freely manageable materials? The answer is not simple and, being aware of that, the Italian legislator repeatedly intervened, from 2006 to 2012, with laws and regulations in order to offer legal certainties to the interested parties.

Biological Assessment Guidance for Dredged Material

A decision-making framework shows how to distinguish minimally hazardous sediments from those requiring special treatment.
