ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY PROCESS: DOES IT WORK? DREDGING U.S. PORTS. SESSION SUMMARY: INSTITUTIONAL GRIDLOCK FOR DREDGING U.S. HARBORS

This paper is a session summary of Transportation Research Board (TRB) Session 99, "Environmental Regulatory Process: Does It Work?", of the 73rd TRB Annual Meeting. This session focused on the growing sense of gridlock associated with permitting new development and maintenance dredging projects in the nation's ports and waterways. This paper summarizes the "regulated's" perspective and the "regulator's" perspective, concerns over the permitting process, environmental concerns, administrative initiatives, and congressional options. In conclusion, it states that guidance for the future program must be clearly established, and it is at the local level where the most crucial tests of its satisfactory implementation will be administered.
