INTRODUCTION
This is the eighth annual report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on progress
toward completion of a dredged material management plan (DMMP) for the Long Island Sound
region, and related efforts to "reduce or eliminate" the need for open-water disposal of dredged
material in Long Island Sound.
BACKGROUND
EPA Regulatory Requirements
On June 3, 2005, EPA issued a final rule to designate two open-water dredged material disposal sites,
1

-------
Central Long Island Sound and Western Long Island Sound, for the placement of dredged material
from harbors and navigation channels in the Long Island Sound vicinity in the states of Connecticut
and New York [40 CFRPart 228.15(b)(4) and (b)(5)].
The use of these two sites is subject to restrictions that are described in the site designation rule, which
are intended to reduce or eliminate the disposal of dredged material in Long Island Sound. Use of the
sites pursuant to these designations may be suspended or terminated in accordance with these
restrictions.
One of these restrictions links continued use of the sites to the completion of a regional dredged
material management plan (DMMP) for Long Island Sound. A DMMP is a comprehensive planning
process and decision-making tool to address the management of dredged material for a specific harbor
or navigation project, group of related projects, or geographic area. Additional detail on the DMMP is
provided in the next section.
A related restriction requires EPA to conduct an annual review of progress toward completion of the
DMMP. EPA is complying with this requirement by producing an annual report on or about the
anniversary of the effective date of the site designations (July 5, 2005), and making the report
available to the general public.
Another restriction is intended to ensure progress toward reducing or eliminating open-water disposal
in Long Island Sound pending completion of the DMMP by requiring the formation of an interagency
Long Island Sound Regional Dredging Team (RDT). The RDT reviews dredging projects subject to
Designation Restrictions to ensure that a thorough effort has been conducted to identify practicable
alternatives to open-water disposal and ensure the use of those alternatives to the maximum extent
practicable. In addition to information on the status of the DMMP, this EPA annual report includes
information on RDT deliberations conducted in the preceding year, and on the quantity of dredged
material and its final placement or disposal location. Additional detail on the form and function of the
RDT is provided in a later section.
In the designation rule an eight year time period was established between the publishing of the rule and
when a DMMP should be completed. Failure to complete the DMMP in this time period would
trigger the shutdown of the CLDS and WLIS disposal sites until the DMMP was completed.
However, since three years passed between the designation rule and funding was provided for DMMP
efforts, the LIS DMMP Steering Committee, the Federal and State agencies involved in the project,
determined that an extension of the timeline was warranted. The CLDS and WLDS site closure dates
were extended to April 30, 2015. A letter of agreement was signed in June 2013 by the US
Environmental Protection Agency, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the NY Department of State, and
the CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Dredged Material Management Plans
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulations require each of its district offices to develop
a DMMP for all Federal Navigation Projects for which there is an indication of insufficient placement
or disposal capacity to accommodate maintenance dredging over a 20-year period. A DMMP
addresses a wide range of environmentally acceptable, cost-effective, and practicable alternatives for
the management of dredged material, culminating with the selection of a base plan and a
recommended plan that ensures that sufficient capacity for dredged material placement exists for a
project or group of provide environmental or commercial benefits through beneficial use of dredged
material. The scope of projects is for a minimum 20-year planning period. The range of alternatives
2

-------
for the DMMP may also include private dredging projects that are geographically related to the
federal project(s), which may require the sponsors of those projects to provide non-federal funds to
support the additional work.
The DMMP process involves a phased approach. The first phase, a Preliminary Assessment, draws on
existing information to: (1) determine the economic and engineering need for dredging according to
existing and reasonably prospective navigation traffic; (2) identify the anticipated locations and
volumes of dredged material to be generated within the study area; (3) examine existing dredged
material disposal sites and management practices to determine if shortfalls in capacity or opportunities
for better management exist; and (4) provide an estimate of the cost of completing the DMMP. The
Preliminary Assessment determines whether a federal interest exists in participating in a feasibility-
level DMMP study.
If the PA phase recommends the development of a DMMP after the PA is completed and approved,
the DMMP is initiated upon the appropriation of necessary funding. The first step is development of a
Project Management Plan (PMP) that describes: (1) the scope of the DMMP; (2) the sequence of the
studies; (3) a plan for acquisition management covering the various study tasks (labor, contracts, other
agency contributions); (4) a plan for public involvement and participation; and (5) an estimated
budget, organized by federal fiscal year budget cycle.
Following review and acceptance of the PMP by the project delivery team which also can consist of
cooperating federal and state agencies, feasibility-level study efforts would commence, subject to the
availability of staff and funding. These studies generally focus on the following topics: (1) dredging
needs; (2) management options; (3) capacities of placement sites; (4) environmental compliance
requirements; (5) potential for beneficial use of dredged material; and (6) indicators of continued
economic justification. The PMP is considered a "living document", subject to change based on new
information and input from the public and other agencies.
The management structure for a typical DMMP comprises the following components:
•	Project Manager: Individual responsible for day-to-day management of project.
•	Project Delivery Team (PDT): The working group (in some cases involving members of other
agencies) that will assist with the development of the DMMP.
•	Agency Technical Review Team: An internal USACE technical review procedure required by
the US ACE to review the plan for technical merit and cost-effectiveness.
Technical working groups: These may be formed to provide assistance to the Project Delivery
Team, with representation from other federal and state agencies, and sometimes non
government organizations and private citizens.

-------
For compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the US ACE
prepares an Environmental Assessment, an Environmental Impact Statement or a
Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), whichever is most appropriate,
that evaluates the analyses and recommendations of the DMMP.
LONG ISLAND SOUND DREDGED MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Management Structure
The US ACE is the lead agency for development of the Long Island Sound Dredged Material
Management Plan (LIS DMMP). The New England District and New York District, with oversight by
the North Atlantic Division, are developing the DMMP in cooperation with EPA Regions 1 and 2, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the New York State Department of State
(NYS DOS), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), the
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP ) (formerly the
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, or CT DEP), the Connecticut Department of
Transportation (CT DOT) and the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (RICRMC).
Management of the LIS DMMP was assigned to the US ACE New England District, which assigned a
project manager responsible for overall management of the effort. The participating agencies agreed to
adopt the traditional management structure by establishing and assigning representatives to a LIS
DMMP Project Delivery Team (PDT). Although not a standard component of the DMMP
management structure, due to the large scope of the project and strong public interest, the agencies
also formed a Steering Committee (SC) of higher level agency officials to facilitate communication,
priority-setting, and the commitment of resources for the LIS DMMP.
During this reporting period, the SC participated in two conference calls (August 9, 2012 and May 28,
2013). In addition, the SC met on February 19, 2013 in Newington, CT at the CTDOT headquarters.
The PDT members participated in three conference calls (March 7, April 4, and May 8, 2013). The
PDT call in October was cancelled due to the government shutdown. Some of the PDT members also
participated in the SC meeting as well as the SC conference calls. The PDT conference calls were
held to discuss current and planned DMMP work efforts, project budget, and proposed schedule for
future work tasks. The current rosters (as of November 2013) for the Steering Committee and PDT
are attached as Appendices A and B.
Planning Process
The overarching goal of the LIS DMMP is to develop a comprehensive plan for dredged material
management in Long Island Sound that ensures Corps of Engineers federal navigation project
dredging needs are met, and identify alternatives that could be used by others that will lead, over time,
to the reduction or elimination of open-water disposal in the Sound. The DMMP will try to meet this
goal by using a broad-based, public process that protects the environment based on best scientific data
and analysis, while meeting society's need for safe and economically viable navigation for water based
commerce, transportation, national security, and other public purposes. Recognizing that there are
numerous institutional, regulatory, social, and financial barriers to utilizing dredged material
beneficially, one purpose of the DMMP is to document these barriers and recommend plans to
overcome them.
4

-------
For the Long Island Sound DMMP, it should be noted that the site designation restrictions apply to all
federal projects, and non-federal projects generating more than 25,000 cubic yards of dredged material
in the region. The LIS DMMP will identify potential environmentally acceptable, practicable
management alternatives that can be utilized by various dredging proponents in their analysis of options
to manage their dredging projects.
The Preliminary Assessment for the LIS DMMP was completed and approved by the USACE in June
2006. The Project Management Plan, which serves as the initial work plan for the LIS DMMP, was
completed and approved by the USACE, in consultation with the PDT, in October 2007. As previously
noted, the PMP is subject to change based on new information and input from the public and other
agencies.
The USACE will be preparing a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) in conjunction
with the LIS DMMP to ensure compliance with NEPA. The USACE published the Notice of Intent to
develop a PEIS for the LIS DMMP in the Federal Register on August 31, 2007 (72 FR 50332). EPA,
the USACE, and state agencies conducted a series of six public information and NEPA scoping
meetings to kick off the LIS DMMP and PEIS process on November 26-29, 2007. The agencies held
three meetings in each of the two states to present progress on the planning for the LIS DMMP and
solicit public input on both the scope and process of the LIS DMMP and PEIS. Public comments will
be considered in identifying and developing the activities and investigations to be performed in the LIS
DMMP and PEIS effort. The presentations from the public meetings and other related documents are
available on the USACE LIS DMMP Project website, which was established in August 2007
http://www.nae.usace.armv.mil/Missions/ProiectsTopics/LongIslandSoundDMMP.aspx On March 24,
2008,	the USACE initiated contractual efforts for the LIS DMMP study efforts. The USACE has been
using both contracted services and in-house resources to conduct the various inventories or analyses
needed for the development of the DMMP. The reports are available on the above mentioned USACE
website.
The Dredging Needs Survey, which estimates the volume of dredged material that will be generated by
location and by time frame for the entire region over a 30-year planning horizon, was initiated in June
2008 and completed in Oct 2009. An updated two-phase Literature Review was initiated in April 2008
and completed in June 2010. The Economic Update was initiated in January 2010 and completed in
March 2010.
The initial Upland Placement Inventory, which identified and cataloged potential upland placement
alternatives for the entire region over a 30-year planning horizon, as well as the inventory of possible
shore-side transfer sites and beneficial use sites, was initiated in August 2008 and completed in October
2009.	The sites in this report were screened based on their potential viability for use by the USACE in
management of their dredged material. A second phase upland/beneficial use/near shore placement
site identification effort designed to provide site-specific information such as capacity, restriction, etc.
for the potential sites large enough for USACE use was completed in November 2010. An additional
upland/beneficial use/near shore effort designed to provide site-specific information (e.g., capacity,
restrictions, etc.) for the potential small sites was completed in January 2011.
The Federal and State Regulatory and Program Update was completed in October 2011. The Cultural
Update was initiated in May 2010 and completed in August 2010. An effort to inventory potential
confined disposal sites and near shore placement sites was completed in November 2012. Another
effort to determine air quality impacts from different sized and types of projects, and whether they
would conform with Clean Air Act requirements also has been initiated and will be completed in 2014.
5

-------
An analysis of the estimated costs of transporting dredged material from various sizes and types of
projects is also expected to be completed in 2014.
Concurrent with the technical studies, the US ACE, with support from the PDT and contractors,
initiated public outreach and participation efforts in 2010 and continued them in 2012. The first of
several LIS DMMP newsletters was sent electronically and by mail to the public in February 2010. A
second newsletter was distributed electronically in August 2012 and another will be sent in early 2014.
Both newsletters updated the public on work that had been completed, work underway and planned
future efforts. Newsletters are also posted on the project web site.
USACE also established a LIS DMMP Working Group in early 2011 comprising representatives from
federal, state, regional, and local government agencies, and various stakeholder organizations that
have an interest in dredged material management in the Long Island Sound region. The Working
Group members' responsibility is to provide input to the LIS DMMP process in their respective areas of
expertise. The PDT held a Working Group meeting on 17 January 2013 in Bridgeport, CT. The
purpose of this WG meeting was to present the results of the various surveys conducted with the
Working Groups from NY and CT. This survey was designed to assisting in identifying a list of
criteria based on stakeholder interests and concerns. Members of the Working Group, by reviewing
and disseminating the information presented and discussed at the meetings, and conveying their
organization's comments and positions, serve as a communication link between the regulatory agencies
and the organizations represented on the Working Group.
During the meetings, the USACE presented background on the LIS DMMP process, the requirements
for determining suitability of dredged material for disposal at the Long Island Sound disposal sites,
and presented the USACE Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Multi-Criteria
Decision Analysis (MCDA) method. This method is being used to model scenarios with varying trade-
off values (esthetic, economic, environmental, etc.). This information will be used in the alternatives
assessment document.
In January 2012, the Working Group representatives were furnished a "read ahead" packet to assist them
in discussions with members of their organization to determine rankings of various parameters of
interest to their organizations. After the representatives identified their organization's rankings they
were to be interviewed by ERDC staff so that the results of all interviews could be compiled and
analyzed. Due to limit participation of the Working Group organizations, the deadline for the
interviews was extended several times to give the Working Groups more tie to organize their responses.
Additional studies initiated include: Harbor Sediment Characterization, Air Quality Analysis, and
Transportation Cost Analysis Matrix. The Harbor Sediment Characterization report collected
information sediment testing results from Corps of Engineers maintenance projects and testing results
conducted by others for their dredging projects. The data was collected from the Corps Navigation
Sections and Regulatory Divisions in both the New York and New England Corps offices.
The Transportation Cost Analysis Matrix develops costs associated with dredging projects of various
sizes (from 1000 CY to 4 million CY) using different types of dredging equipment (mechanical, hopper,
hydraulic, etc.) with different sediment types (sand, silt, etc.)
The Air Quality Analysis uses the equipment developed in the Transportation Cost Matrix to determine
the emissions from that equipment and comparing it to the State standards.
6

-------
The States of New York and Connecticut have collected information that will be used to assist in
identifying possible sediment and contaminant reduction into LIS. This information was provided to
the USEPA who will compile the data into a report that should be available in 2014.
The Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be completed in January 2015.
Public meetings will be conducted in New York and Connecticut during the review period for the Draft
PEIS.
Funding
In February 2005, the governors of the two states sent a joint letter to the USACE requesting its
assistance with the development of the DMMP and, in separate letters, asked members of their
respective congressional delegations to seek appropriation of federal funds to initiate the DMMP. The
PDT initially estimated that it would cost up to $12 million and take 5-6 years to complete the LIS
DMMP. The USACE agreed to work with the states on the DMMP and requests for funds were
included in the President's budget for federal fiscal years (FY) 2007 and 2008. In FY07, $1.7 million
was included in the President's proposed budget, but this was eliminated by passage of a Continuing
Resolution that was based on the FY06 federal budget.
Federal funding for the LIS DMMP began in FY08 and continued through FY10 at variable levels (see
table below).
As of September 25, 2013, $6,943,985 in federal funds have been provided for the LIS DMMP
project. Federal Funding for LIS DMMP, 2007-2013

LONG ISLAND SOUND REGIONAL DREDGING TEAM
Purpose
As described above, the site designation rule contemplated that a Regional Dredging Team would be
established to review dredging proponents' alternative analyses to ensure that the proponents
conducted a comprehensive analysis for practicable alternatives to open-water dredged material
disposal and recommend their use to the maximum extent practicable, to ensure progress toward
reducing or eliminating open-water disposal in Long Island Sound pending completion of the DMMP.
The following excerpt from the RDT guidance describes its primary function:
The RDT is charged with reviewing all permit applications and authorizations subject to
the ... site designation rule restrictions and is not precluded from voluntarily providing
advice to any other dredging project to help achieve the goal of reducing or eliminating the
need for open water disposal in Long Island Sound. The RDT will work to identify all
practicable alternatives to open water disposal and to advise regarding their use to the
maximum extent practicable. Further, those identified practicable alternative use
opportunities will be advanced through the appropriate state and federal authorities. All
agencies will retain their respective final regulatory decision-making authority and
regulatory time frames for project review.
In July 5, 2006, EPA, USACE, NOAA, and the states agreed to form an RDT and
assigned representatives. The RDT began drafting a charter to describe the procedures
the RDT would use to review the alternatives analyses developed by dredging project
proponents, determine the adequacy of the analyses, and make recommendations on
alternative dredged material placement options that should be considered by the
USACE and other regulatory agencies. The RDT charter was approved by the Steering
Committee in March 2007. The charter describes how the RDT will enhance
communication and discussion among the participating agencies to facilitate the timely
review and presentation of recommendations on the placement of dredged material from
Long Island Sound dredging projects. Through the review process, the RDT will
become aware of possible alternatives to open-water disposal that it can communicate
to potential applicants as well as appropriate state and federal authorities.
Current Status
During this reporting period one meeting was held on February 21, 2013 to discuss the New Haven
FNP project.

-------
DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL IN LONG ISLAND SOUND
It is the stated goal of the states of Connecticut and New York to reduce or eliminate the disposal of
dredged material in Long Island Sound. To determine if this goal is being met will require measuring
and tracking the amount of dredged material being disposed of or placed in the Sound and other
locations. Currently, most open-water disposal in the Sound occurs at one of the four dredged material
disposal sites in the Sound: Western Long Island Sound (WLDS), Central Long Island Sound (CLDS),
Cornfield Shoals (CSDS), and New London (NLDS).
Alternatives include: upland placement or disposal; beach nourishment (depositing sand on or near an
eroding beach); habitat restoration (e.g., depositing dredged material in sub-tidal areas to raise
elevation and restore or create wetlands); confined aquatic disposal (CAD) cells (depositing unsuitable
dredged material in a pit excavated below the floor of the harbor or navigation channel, and covering
with clean material); and confined disposal facilities (using dredged material to increase the size of or
create islands, e.g., to expand port facilities). Some of these alternatives, including beach nourishment,
habitat creation/restoration, and capping (for both upland and aquatic habitat remediation purposes, in
certain circumstances) are considered beneficial to the environment (i.e., beneficial uses). The
following excerpt from the RDT guidance describes this process:
The RDT will track and document the volume of dredged material approved for open
water disposal as well as other alternative disposal methods, and submit this information
for inclusion in the annual report on progress of the DMMP. This information will be part
of the annual report on the progress of the DMMP to be issued by the EPA.
EPA is complying with this guidance by working with the RDT to compile dredged material
disposal records on an annual basis, and reporting these data in an annual report for a one-year
period ending July 5 each year. The data in the annual report will be compared with dredged
material disposal data from all disposal activity in Long Island Sound averaged over the period
from 1982-2004. It should be noted that the tracking of these beneficial uses of dredged material
has been difficult since USACE permits are not required for placement of material outside of the
eaters of the United States. Although State permits are granted for this placement these permits
are multi-year approvals and proponents do not always report to the state actions that have
occurred in a given year. For these reasons it is believed that the volumes reported for
beneficial use may be low compared to actual beneficial use projects. This is the eighth annual
report.

Of the 255,700. c.y. disposed in the Sound:
122,600 c.y. went to CLDS (vs. historical annual average of 348,682 c.y.);
41,400 c.y. went to WLDS (vs. historical annual average of 81,344 c.y.);
19,100 c.y. went to NLDS (vs. historical annual average of 133,459 c.y.); and
72,600 c.y. went to CSDS (vs. a historical annual average of 56,348 c.y.).
Of the 255,700 c.y. disposed in the Sound 220,200 c.y. came from private projects.
The average annual amount of dredged material disposed at the four open-water sites in the Sound
from 1982-2004, was 619,833 c.y. For the period July 6, 2012 - July 5, 2013, there was a total
disposed of 255,700 c.y., which is a decrease of 364,133 c.y. For further details, see Appendix D.
While there is generally some variability from one year to the next in the amount of dredged
material disposed of in the Sound, there are many factors influencing this variability. Regardless, it
is too early to determine any kind of long-term trend. The amount of dredged material disposed in
the Sound during the current reporting period of July 6, 2012 - July 5, 2013, was more than the
amount disposed during the prior reporting period of July 6, 2011 - July 5, 2012 (255,700 c.y. vs.
143,008 c.y. respectively); this appears to have resulted from variability in the size of projects and
funding rather than from any difference in analysis of alternatives.
EPA will continue to report on an annual basis about the LIS RDT deliberations as well as each
dredging project that was completed in the preceding year, including the name of the applicant, the
10

alternatives that were evaluated, the volume of dredged material, and its final placement or
