Marine Protection: Modification To Expand Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Sites Offshore of Corpus Christi, Texas

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a modification to expand the existing designated boundaries of the two EPA designated ocean dredged material disposal sites (ODMDSs) offshore of Corpus Christi, Texas; specifically, the Corpus Christi Ship Channel (CCSC) ODMDS and the Corpus Christi New Work (CCNW) ODMDS to serve the long-term need for locations to dispose of suitable material dredged from the Corpus Christi Bay area. The modified sites will be subject to monitoring and management to ensure continued protection of the marine environment.
