| Abstract: | Section 506 ofthe Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA) of 1992, which amended the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA), requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USA CE) to prepare a Site Management and Monitoring Plan (SMMP) for each ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS). For sites designated prior to January 1, 1995, such as the San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico Dredged Material Disposal Site (SJS), WRDA provides that SMMPs shall be developed by January 1, 1997. Further permitting or authorization of projects for disposal at ocean sites not having SMMPs after that date were prohibited until an SMMP was prepared. The final SMMP for the SJS was adopted on January 5, 2000. MP RSA 102 ( c )(3 )(F) requires that the SMMP be reviewed and revised no less frequently than 10 years after adoption of the plan, and every 10 years thereafter. This document revises the WRDA-required SMMP for the final-designated (40 CFR 228.15 ( d) (11)) San Juan Harbor, Puerto Rico Dredged Material Site (SJS); prepared by EPA Region 2 (EPA-R2) and USACE Jacksonville District (USACE-SAJ). This SMMP identifies a number of actions, provisions, and practices to manage operational aspects of dredging and disposal activities and to perform site monitoring at the SJS. |
