Meeting Concept: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) hosted a meeting with stakeholders and agencies involved with permitting and regulating thin layer placement (TLP) as a placement method for dredged sediments. Collaboration with stakeholders and agencies is essential to applying and improving this method of sediment placement. The purpose of the meeting was to provide information including TLP definitions, examples, and state of the science in order to facilitate discussion. Discussions focused on benefits, concerns, and other information necessary to advance this method which encompasses environmental restoration, beneficial use of dredged material, and coastal storm risk management.
