Committee Overview
The Dredging & Beneficial Reuse Committee promotes reliable dredging of the Bay Area’s waterways and advances the beneficial reuse of sediment. Its work brings together permitting, policy, and regional science to support efficient dredging operations and project delivery.
Through BPC, committee members engage on regulatory developments, funding needs, regional planning, and scientific initiatives that affect navigation and sediment management throughout the Bay Area. The committee also supports opportunities to put dredged sediment to productive use in shoreline resilience, habitat restoration, and other regional projects.
