With limited exceptions, ocean dumping - the transportation of any material for the purpose of dumping in ocean waters is prohibited except in compliance with a permit issued under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA). EPA collects or sponsors the collection of information for the purposes of permit issuance, reporting of emergency dumping to safety of life at sea, compliance with permit requirements, including specifically general permits for burial at sea and for transportation and disposal of vessels. EPA is responsible for issuing ocean dumping permits for all materials except dredged material. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for issuing ocean dumping permits for dredged material using EPAs environmental criteria, though for federal projects, the USACE may apply the environmental criteria directly in lieu of the permit process. Ocean dumping permits for dredged material are subject to EPA review and concurrence.
