Databases

DOTS Technical Response Archive

The Archive is a compilation of response documents addressing a wide variety of dredging and other navigation-related issues for which Corps Districts have sought help through the DOTS program. This database is restricted to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees.

The Environmental Residue-Effects Database (ERED)

Contains residue-effects information on many environmental contaminants of potential concern.

Environmental Effects & Dredging and Disposal (E2D2)

Searchable publications reference database containing reports, journal articles, conference proceedings, and publications available from world-wide sources. The database is updated continuously and contains nearly 5,000 references, including many abstracts and a large number of complete texts in downloadable PDF format.

The Biota Sediment Accumulation Factor (BSAF) and Lipid Database

Collection of field- and laboratory-generated BSAF numbers that are designed to be used during a Tier II evaluation for ocean disposal of dredged material.

The Ocean Disposal Database (ODD)

Contains currently available ocean disposal data from dredging projects since 1976 in response to the London Convention requirements.

Upland Dredged Material Environmental Effects Database (UDMEED)

UDMEED contains ecotoxicological and background data relevant for disposal of contaminated sediment in upland areas, including both terrestrial and wetland and including exposure via consumption of food organisms. An extensive literature search of articles published over the period 1985-2000 was performed. As a result of the search, the database currently contains exposure-residue-effects data deemed relevant from articles covering the period 1986-2001.

USACE Sea Turtle Data Warehouse

Repository of sea turtle project data (incidental take, relocation, tag numbers, genetic sampling, T/E observer records, etc), maintain descriptions of protection protocols and available resources, and construct records of historical project profiles regarding sea turtle issues.

USACE Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive Species Protection and Management System

Contains information on sensitive species that have been identified by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Divisions, Districts, or Projects to date. Supporting rationales and literature regarding current Division and District environmental windows have also been collected
