Book Description
Before the early 1970's, little was known of the environmental effects of dredging and dredged material disposal. As a result, the Congress of the United States recognized that there was no technical or scientific basis for regulating the disposal of dredged material. Consequently, proposed regulations would prove to be excessive and counterproductive. Therefore, the Congress directed the Corps of Engineers (Corps) to conduct a comprehensive research program to develop procedures for determining the environmental consequences of dredged material disposal and to develop new or improved methods of minimizing any adverse effects. The Corps was given the lead responsibility for conducting the research since, in the United States, the Corps is responsible for maintaining over 25,000 miles of waterways and 1000 harbors. In addition, Federal legislation requires the Corps to issue permits to regulate disposal of dredged material in waters of the U.S. The DMRP was conducted by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES).

Book Description
This report presents a broad program-level overview and documentation of the 1986-87 activities of the Environmental Effects of Dredging Programs. The current thrusts of the programs are field assistance through the Dredging Operations Technical Support (DOTS) Program technical assistance aspects, research through the Wetlands Research Program and the Long-term Effects of Dredging Operations Program, and field verification/demonstration through the DOTS dredged material management aspects and the Field Verification Program. These programs comprise the majority of the studies involved in evaluating the environmental effects of dredging and dredged material disposal.

Book Description
This note describes a major US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) policy initiative to define an appropriate and effective framework for developing and implementing the concept of a Long-Term Management Strategy (LTMS) within the national navigation dredging program. It presents a five-phase conceptual approach or framework for developing an LTMS with emphasis on lessons learned and a summary of selected field experiences. (MM).

Book Description
This Technical Note summarizes the National Forum on Implementation Strategies of Long-Term Management of Dredged Material held January 28-31, 1991, at Baltimore, MD. The findings of the Forum have been documented in a report to be published by the Environmental Effects of Dredging Programs (EEDP) in FY 92. The information gained from the Forum participants is also being incorporated into proposed policy and technical guidance to help direct, develop, and implement Long-Term Management Strategy (LTMS) studies and plans by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
