    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented a final rule to expand the boundaries of the Humboldt Open Ocean Disposal Site (HOODS) near Humboldt Bay, California. The expansion increases the site's size to four square nautical miles to accommodate the long-term disposal of dredged material from Humboldt Harbor, ensuring safe navigation while monitoring environmental impact. This rule is made under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act and includes detailed regulatory criteria assessments to prevent significant environmental effects. The expanded site will also follow a Site Management and Monitoring Plan to ensure continued protection of the marine ecosystem.
