Susan Bailey is a research civil engineer on the Sediment Management Team. She works with sediment and dredged material management, primarily in support of the USACE navigation mission. Her work includes evaluation of water quality impacts from dredging and placement activities, design and evaluation of placement area capacity, evaluation of contaminant and sediment transport, sediment remediation and developing sustainable solutions. She performs laboratory research and testing, conducts field studies, and performs modeling. Her focus is primarily on modeling dredged material behavior and contaminant transport to evaluate risk related to dredged material placement and management of contaminated sediments.
