MPRSA, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1992, and a Memorandum of Agreement between EPA and COE require the joint development of site management and monitoring plans (SMMP) to specifically address the disposal of dredged material at ODMDSs. Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between EPA Region 4 and the COE South Atlantic Division specifies that it is in the best Interest of the EPA and the COE to act In partnership concerning the management and monitoring of all ODMDSs. Management of ODMDSs involves regulating the times, the quantity, and the physical/chemical characteristics of dredged material that is dumped at the site; establishing disposal controls, conditions, and requirements to avoid and minimize potential impacts to the marine environment; and monitoring the site environs to verily that unanticipated or significant adverse effects are not occurring from past or continued use of the site and that permit terms are met.
