EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must evaluate alternative disposal options when deciding the correct placement of dredged material. These options include open-water disposal, confined (diked) disposal, and beneficial uses. Evaluating Environment Effects of Dredged Material Management Alternatives - A Technical Framework provides a consistent technical framework for USACE and EPA personnel to follow in identifying environmentally acceptable alternatives for the management of dredged material.
