This Regional Implementation Agreement (RIA) was prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New Orleans District and Galveston District, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 (EPA). The RIA provides guidance for applicants, permittees, and USACE and EPA staff working on ocean dredged material disposal projects in Louisiana and Texas. The RIA is necessary to adapt the national procedures, contained in the 1991 Evaluation of Dredged Material Proposed for Ocean Disposal - Testing Manual, to Regional situations and ensure compliance with the ocean dumping regulations.
