| Abstract | Ocean dumping of anthropogenic wastes at offshore sites represents one option for the disposal of such wastes. Current U.S. regulatory and permitting practices with respect to ocean disposal are concentration based, that is, Water Quality Criteria and acute bioassays of the waste material using nearshore species are ultimately used to establish Limiting Permissible Concentrations, below which the waste concentration must remain shortly following disposal. |
