PART 228_CRITERIA FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DISPOSAL SITES FOR OCEAN DUMPING

--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  228.8  Limitations on times and rates of disposal.



    Limitations as to time for and rates of dumping may be stated as 

part of the promulgation of site designation. The times and the 

quantities of permitted material disposal will be regulated by the EPA 

management authority so that the limits for the site as specified in the 

site designation are not exceeded. This will be accomplished by the 

denial of permits for the disposal of some materials, by the imposition 

of appropriate conditions on other permits and, if necessary, the 

designation of new disposal sites under the procedures of Sec.  228.4. 

In no case may the total volume of material disposed of at any site 

under special or interim permits cause the concentration of the total 

materials or any constituent of any of the materials being disposed of 

at the site to exceed limits specified in the site designation.
