Statute text

The Legislature further finds and declares that the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State Water Resources Control Board and relevant California regional water quality control boards, and the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission have agreed to participate in a joint effort known as the Long Term Management Strategy (LTMS) to formulate a federal/state management strategy for bay dredging that concentrates federal efforts toward studying and possibly designating ocean disposal sites, and state efforts towards inbay and upland disposal options. This chapter is intended to reflect the commission’s role in the Long Term Management Strategy, including all of the following:

(a)Evaluation of the use of upland, diked bayland, and delta areas for reuse of material dredged from the bay, regulatory constraints and opportunities involving upland disposal, and potential project sponsors and methods to implement those uses.

(b)Participation with the United States Geological Survey to make a detailed study of bay sediment processes affecting the need for bay dredging and the physical impacts of inbay disposal to augment the modeling work on bay sediment dynamics being performed by the State Water Resources Control Board and the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
