                   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.
