Hearing Before House MM&F-OGM&OCS on 30 March 1993 



Ocean Disposal of Contaminated Dredge Material 



Question from Mr. Weldon - Is there a need to develop a long 

 term strategy for the development of alternative technologies to 

 ocean disposal of contaminated sediments? 



ANSWER Dr. Engler: There is a need to build on ongoing and 

 previous efforts in this area to provide an array of alternatives 

 that are both cost-effective and environmentally sound. These 

 efforts should not preclude any potentially viable management 

 options, including ocean disposal related options.
