Research and Management of Ocean Disposal of Dredge Material in New England Waters

Research investigations and monitoring of various dredging and disposal projects in the New England region have been conducted over a ten-year period commencing in 1967. In order to facilitate the management and implementation of federal, state and private dredging projects, the New England Division Corps of Engineers has adopted a regional approach to disposal of dredge material. It is proposed that the New England coastline be geographically divided into four or five regional areas. Within each management area all present and anticipated dredging activities would be described.
