Ocean Dumping; Proposed Designation of Sites Offshore Palm Beach Harbor, FL and Offshore Port Everglades Harbor, FL

Короткий зміст

EPA today proposes to designate two Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites (ODMDSs) in the Atlantic Ocean offshore Southeast Florida, as EPA-approved ocean dumping sites for the disposal of suitable dredged material. One site will be located offshore Palm Beach Harbor, Florida and the other offshore Port Everglades Harbor, Florida. This proposed action is necessary to provide acceptable ocean disposal sites for consideration as an option for dredged material disposal projects in the vicinity of Palm Beach Harbor and Port Everglades Harbor. These proposed site designations are for an indefinite period of time, but the sites will be subject to continuing monitoring to insure that unacceptable adverse environmental impacts do not occur.
