| * » Abstract |
These data show the location of available and discontinued ocean disposal sites within U.S. waters. Contemporary ocean disposal sites generally accept clean dredged material (sediment) collected during navigation channel improvement projects. These projects are sponsored and-or regulated by federal and state agencies. The terminology and practices used in ocean disposal have changed considerably over time. The values in the Primary Use field in this database show some of that variability. |
| * Purpose |
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act. |

Process Steps

| » Description |
1) Generate a polygon feature class from the eCFR coordinates for all sites, and include field attributes from the eCFR records. 2) Filter the Placement Areas polygons to remove features tagged as upland, proposed, beach, habitat restoration; to features that overlapped eCFR sources, duplicates, and for features that were geographically contained entirely within a larger and more recently dated feature. 3) Filter the Placement Areas polygons to remove features identified as munitions or unexploded ordnance in the raster nautical chart data. 4) Merge coincident features in the derived Placement Area data if the "Primary Use" field values were comparable. 5) Reconfigure the field names of the filtered Placement Areas data set to match the final relational data structure compatible to the eCFR sources. 6) Using the ENC and RNC sources, collect features not found in the eCFR and Placement Areas data source. 7) Merge the eCFR, Placement Areas, and ENC/RNC derived data into a single feature class. |
