                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 227--CRITERIA FOR THE EVALUATION OF PERMIT APPLICATIONS FOR OCEAN 
DUMPING OF MATERIALS--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart C--Need for Ocean Dumping
 
Sec. 227.14  Criteria for evaluating the need for ocean dumping and 
alternatives to ocean dumping.


    This subpart C states the basis on which an evaluation will be made 
of the need for ocean dumping, and alternatives to ocean dumping. The 
nature of these factors does not permit the promulgation of specific 
quantitative criteria of each permit application. These factors will 
therefore be evaluated if applicable for each proposed dumping on an 
individual basis using the guidelines specified in this subpart C.
