## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the site designation for the San Francisco Deep Ocean Disposal Site (SF-DODS), an existing deep ocean dredged material disposal site located off San Francisco, California, by setting a permanent annual disposal volume limit and clarifying conditions and requirements for use of the site. Use of the SF-DODS, at the annual volume limit of 4.8 million cubic yards, is consistent with, and is an important component of the regional Long Term Management Strategy for the Placement of Dredged Material in the San Francisco Bay Region (LTMS). Clarifications to the original site designation Rule, developed from experience with and monitoring of site use since designation, include addition of management measures and other site use requirements to further minimize the potential for any adverse environmental impacts. All aspects of the August 11, 1994 SF-DODS designation Final Rule not explicitly amended here remain in full effect.
