Welcome to the Ocean Disposal Database


The Ocean Disposal Database (ODD) is maintained by the Environmental Laboratory (EL) of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). ODD provides data to help meet the needs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operations and maintenance navigation dredging missions. ODD is supported by the Dredging Operations Technical Support program.

Information for over 100 Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites (ODMDS) from 1976 to present is available for searching. The 'ODMDS Search' displays disposal sites on a map and provides a link to disposal data for all years while the 'Disposal Search' allows visitors to sort ODMDSs by USACE Division or District, USEPA Region, or Ocean and by year(s) and returns associated disposal data.
