Important deviations arediscussed and improvements are suggested.The second publication 14 describes an analysis of the importance of risk perceptivevalues among stakeholders for the management decision in a much debated sedimentremediation case in Oslo harbor Norway. Perceptive affecting factors (PAF) areidentified and items to be addressed within a successful stakeholder involvement modelare discussed.In the third paper 15 environmental impacts, not only relating to the contamination itself,but also to energy and resource use connected with the remediation effort areinvestigated. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is adapted to marineconditions and the environmental footprint of different sediment capping materials forremediation of the contaminated Grenland fjord in Norway are evaluated.11
