This report presents the results of sediment monitoring activities performed at the New Bedford Harbor Superfund Site in 2014 in support of remedial dredging operations. Sediment cores were collected during and after dredging to assess sediment conditions and characterize polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in the post-dredge sediment surface. Sediment data were provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers New England District (USACE NAE), the United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 (EPA), and Jacobs Engineering to assess dredging performance and assist with future planning efforts.
