YEAR COMPLETED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSTRUCTION (If applicable) USACE Regional Sediment Management, Nationwide USACE Coastal Protection Engineering LLC Subcontractor to USACE contractorBoca Raton, Florida CPE, Elko Consulting, and APTIM have inventoried Federal coastal and inland navigation projects to determine the extent to which Regional Sediment Management (RSM) goals have been implemented across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Districts at the project and District levels. An online GIS database was developed for RSM program managers to view the results and provide feadback to the study in order to streamline the QAQC procedures. RSM placement was quantified (beneficial use vs. disposal) under multiple categories. Tools were developed to improve use of sediments and identify RSM opportunities to compare sediment characteristics of channel and beach disposal areas. These tools were written to ingest USACE nationwide and District data, identify and standardize project names, assign disposal codes and quantify sediment placement metrics. This work has been completed in multiple phases in a coordinated effort. Phase 1 produced a georeferenced Regional Sediment Management (RSM) database that quantified the volume of sediment dredged from Federal navigation channels and directly placed onto beaches based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dredging Information System (DIS) Nationwide database. Subsequent phases expanded the effort to include government plant (USACE dredges) data, more detailed USACE District-specific data that were not included in the DIS database, and an emphasis to include all types of beneficial use placement in addition to direct beach placement. An intentional byproduct of this expansion was an interactive web-based tool that accesses the geodatabase and streamlined the review process by allowing the Districts to review the data online. This project documented the development and results of an on-line interactive tool to spatially convey the historic (1998-2018) dredging and placement activities of the USACE Navigation program at both the national and District level. The project evolved into quantifying broader categories of beneficial placement along with a comprehensive assessment of the challenges and opportunities of national RSM implementation. The project examines projects which implement RSM principles for beach and nearshore placement, marsh and habitat creation, and other beneficial use of navigation sediments. Of the approximate 200 to 300 Million cubic yards (Mcy) of sediment dredged annually from navigation channels by the USACE (EPA and USACE, 2007), this study considers roughly 213 Mcy removed annually from navigation projects. In 2007, the USACE estimated that 20 to 30 percent (%) of the total volume dredged is currently used beneficially (EPA and USACE, 2007). This study determined that over the 1998 to 2019 timeframe, 39% of Federal navigation sediments were placed beneficially, which provides a strong basis to place inlet sands on adjacent beaches.
