Common use of SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT Clause in Contracts

SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT. In California, sediment management is coordinated in large part by the Coastal Sediment Management Workgroup (CSMW), which is a collaboration of local, regional, state, and federal entities that promote the development and implementation of regional sediment management plans in order to augment or restore natural processes. Despite the successes of having a coordinating body, there exist a number of policies, regulatory practices, and long permitting processes that hinder effective sediment management and often impede the beneficial re-use of sediment resources. There exist many opportunities for the OPC to bring to the forefront scientific information that promotes the beneficial re-use of sediment, challenges inefficient regulatory frameworks, and supports the natural shoreline, while continuing to participate with the CSMW. Objective 11.3: Further the understanding of coastal impacts resulting from hard structures along the California coast.
