Historical Overview
Status Quo at Iffezheim Barrage Flushing operations not possible due to sediment quality No ex-situ or landfill disposal of dredged material in Germany or France Reuse of material is not economical Treatment of material is very cost intensive Deposition in weir channel reaches pre-defined limit state Average annual rate of deposition 115 000m³
⇒ Biannually dredging campaigns (average Volume of 230 000 m³ at 7 Mio. € cost)

Sediment Quality
Anomaly of HCB in Rhine sediments Hexachlorbenzene is a fungicide formerly used as a seed treatment to control the fungal disease bunt. It has been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants.

Fractionation only works if high contaminated sediment fractions can be precisely identified and separated. High contaminated material will be disposed and unpolluted material will be put back in system.

Long term approach to solutions
numeric modeling of hydraulic and sediment deposition patterns in the upper weir channel (BAW) 2-D model of impoundment based on Rismo2D. Model is used to calculate effects on water level and effects caused by weir and lock control. 3-D model of impoundment based on Telemac3D in preparation in cooperation with university of Aachen. Model will be able to simulate suspended material in the impoundment. 3-D model of weir in preparation. 10/24/2012
