San Francisco Bay Dredger’s Handbook

The San Francisco Bay Dredger’s Handbook was developed as a guide to the testing, permitting, and reporting process for maintenance dredging and disposal projects in the San Francisco Bay. The LTMS partners collaborated to describe the multifaceted dredging process and steps necessary to comply with the environmental and regulatory requirements of each agency. The handbook provides resources for dredging project sponsors, stakeholders, broader agency staff, and the interested public.

The San Francisco Bay Dredger’s Handbook (PDF) explains the permitting process for dredging and sediment placement in the San Francisco Bay Area and includes appendices with specific agency information and reference materials.
