Introduction

The measure “Land treatment of dredged material including Mechanical Treatment and Dewatering of HArbour-sediments (METHA)” was introduced within the Hamburg Dredged Material Management Concept in the late 80ies. Today it is part of a strategy of treatment of dredged material by Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) and the Federal Administration for Waterways and Navigation (WSV). Since 1993 contaminated dredged material is dewatered and separated into several grain size fractions in a plant located in the Hamburg Port area. Prior to that, the material that could not be relocated had to be land filled.
