Tracking the Use of Disposal Sites

In order to effectively implement and periodically update the Dredged Material Management Plan, the amount of material placed in each disposal site must be monitored. Local jurisdictions shall require that dredging and disposal permit applicant's report the location and amount of material actually disposed of to CREST. Sponsors of on-going projects, such as the Corps of Engineers maintenance dredging, shall periodically report disposal volumes, sites and pre- and post-bathymetry of estuarine in-water disposal sites to affected local jurisdictions and to CREST, notwithstanding the reporting requirements of State and Federal agencies. CREST will compile records of all dredged material disposals in the estuary area in order to assist local jurisdictions in plan implementation and update. CREST has accumulated disposal site use history and will continue to track and update this information.
