Understanding Dredging

CEDA Working Group on Guidelines for Assessing and Evaluating Environmental Turbidity Limits (WGETL)

Turbidity limits are often encountered by the dredging industry around the world and often significant resources are used to comply with turbidity limits. It is therefore very important that the imposed turbidity limits are optimised to protect the local environment.

The Environment Commission of CEDA established the Working Group called the CEDA Working Group on Guidelines for Assessing and Evaluating Environmental Turbidity Limits for Dredging Operations (WGETL). The WG first met up on 14 June 2018 and released their Information Paper "Assessing and Evaluating Environmental Turbidity Limits for Dredging" in May 2020.
