- (a) Purpose of Dredging. State whether the dredging at this location is for navigation maintenance, facility maintenance (such as a culvert or outfall), or some other purpose.
- (b) Application to Dredged Material Management Office. If you have submitted a complete application for your project to the Dredged Material Management Office (DMMO), provide a copy of that application. If you provide a copy of your completed DMMO application, you do not need to submit any of the information identified in subsections (c) through (l).
- (c) Type of Dredging. Identify the type of dredging and frequency, whether single episode or multi-episode.
- (d) Volume of Material to be Dredged. State the total volume (in cubic yards) of sediment to be dredged.
- (e) Depth and Area Information. State the existing depth, proposed design depth, the over-dredge depth allowance, and the total proposed depth (design depth plus over-dredge depth) in Mean Lower Low Water datum, and the area (square feet or acres) to be dredged.
- (f) Substrate Type. Indicate the type of substrate being dredged, whether subtidal bottom or intertidal bottom, and the sediment type (sand, mud, or gravel). State if eelgrass is present in the project area.
- (g) Sediment Quality. Provide the results of testing for biological, chemical, and physical properties of the sediment to be dredged.
- (h) Date of Last Dredging. State the date the area was last dredged, provide the dredged depth and volume of sediment dredged, and identify the beneficial reuse or disposal site used.
- (i) Proposed Equipment. Describe the proposed dredging equipment (clamshell, excavator, hydraulic) and any dredged sediment disposal or offloading equipment.
- (j) Beneficial Reuse or Disposal Site Information. Provide the name and location of each proposed beneficial reuse or disposal site, including latitude and longitude coordinates, and a map or figure of the area for the dredged sediment placement or disposal, and state if the site is permitted to receive dredged sediment.
- (k) Sediment Delivery Method. Describe how the sediment will be transported to the beneficial reuse or disposal site, and identify the equipment that will be used to transfer the sediment to the site.
- (l) Volume of Sediment to be Reused or Disposed. State the volume of sediment to be beneficially reused or disposed of, and, if at multiple sites, the volume to be reused or disposed of at each site.
If your project includes maintenance dredging and the beneficial reuse or disposal of dredged sediment in San Francisco Bay, a salt pond, managed wetland, a certain waterway, or the primary management area of the Suisun Marsh, submit the following information:
