Dredging of Corps navigation projects results in millions of cubic yards of sediment displaced each year. Many options for placement of the material exist, including Beneficial Use through creation of islands or wetlands, upland and offshore placement, direct beach placement, and nearshore placement. In recent years, the Corps' project-centric focus has changed toward a more systematic approach that considers the sediment to be a valuable resource as part of the regional littoral system. The Corps' Regional Sediment Management (RSM) Program supports active research on, and support for, modifying outdated project guidelines with new systematic approaches toward managing sediment as a resource.
