Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to cancel the final designation of an ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) pursuant to the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act, as amended (MPRSA). The ODMDS is in the Atlantic Ocean offshore Wilmington, North Carolina. This proposed action is being taken because this site has been replaced by another permanent site. In addition, the EPA proposes to rename the permanent site that exists for the Wilmington, North Carolina area.
