Environmental Protection Agency/Corps of Engineers Technical Committee on Criteria for Dredged and Fill Material.
Abstract
The specific purposes of the EPA/CE Technical Committee are to (1) evaluate the Interim Guidance promulgated by the CE for immediate implementation of the evaluation procedures published in the 5 September 1975 Federal Register pursuant to Section 404 of PL 92-500; (2) develop jointly an interim implementation manual for Section 103 of PL 92-532; (3) coordinate dredged material ecological research activities (i.e., establish joint projects and priorities, conduct joint program reviews, avoid unplanned duplication of effort, and exchange and jointly disseminate research results); (4) mutually develop both a short-term and a long-term methods Implementations Manual; and (5) provide technical guidance for subsequent revisions of the guidelines and criteria as required. The interim manuals discussed in this report are those required for immediate implementation of the various technical parts of Sections 103 and 404 and the Implementation Manual refers to the comprehensive guidance manual for Sections 103 and 404 that will require several (2 to 3) years developmental and research time prior to publication.
