The Regional Sediment Management Work Group was established by the HEP Policy Committee in September 2005 and replaced the earlier Dredged Material Management Integration Work Group.. The group completed a Regional Sediment Management Plan that is centered on sediment quality, sediment quantity, and dredged material.
The vision established for this effort is that, “Sediments of the New York-New Jersey Harbor will support and sustain both a healthy ecosystem, including sensitive life stages, and a robust regional economy. Sediments will be managed as a resource to achieve this vision.”
