Dataset for "Environmental evaluation of remediation alternatives of the historically polluted Karosta Canal disposal site, Liepaja Port, Latvia"

Polluted sediments from the Karosta Canal (Latvia) were recently disposed into the adjacent 7 ha semi-closed basin, connected to the canal through two pipes presenting a risk of spreading contaminants. The impact of different management alternatives, including capping sediment, filling up the disposal site and/or installing floating solar panels (FPV), on GHG emissions and contaminant releases to the canal were estimated through modelling. This dataset includes the modelled GHG fluxes from the disposal site as well as the export fluxes of metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs) and oil (hydrocarbons) from the disposal site to the canal, according to the current situation and three alternative scenarios.
