These Outer Continental Shelf lease blocks or aliquots represent areas where sand resources have been identified through reconnaissance and/or design-level OCS studies. Additional OCS studies may be necessary in order to refine and quantify the extents of sand resources within these areas.
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.
