OSTI ID:230900
In 1992, the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) was amended to require that site management plans (SMPs) be prepared for all 108 ocean dredged material disposal sites by January 1997. SMPs are to be jointly developed by EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers and must include: a baseline assessment of conditions at the site; a program for monitoring the site; special management conditions or practices necessary for protection of the environment; consideration of the quantity of the material to be disposed of at the site, and the presence, nature, and bioavailability of contaminants in the material; consideration of the anticipated use of the site over the long term, including the anticipated closure date for the site, and any need for management of the site after closure; and a schedule for review and revision of the plan. SMPs and any revisions, must be made available for public comment.
