Industry Alert: National EPA seeking input on Sea Dumping

The National Environment Protection Authority (National EPA) is seeking feedback on matters relating to sea dumping through its current consultation process.

Given the potential implications for the management of contaminated sediments, dredged materials and marine environments, ALGA’s Sediment Specialist Interest Group (SIG) is inviting input from members and industry stakeholders to help inform a consolidated industry perspective.

This is an opportunity to share practical experience, technical insights, challenges and recommendations that may assist in shaping future policy and regulatory approaches.

We encourage practitioners, consultants, contractors, regulators, researchers and asset owners with an interest in dredging, contaminated sediments, beneficial reuse, waste management and marine environments to contribute.

To provide feedback, please send your comments to:

📧 membership@landandgroundwater.com
