A decision to issue a permit will only be made if all impact evaluations are completed and the monitoring requirements are determined. The conditions of the permit must ensure, as far as practicable, that adverse effects are minimised and
the benefits maximised. A dumping permit issued must contain data and information specifying -
- the types and sources of materials to be dumped;
- the location of the dump-site(s);
- the method of dumping at sea; and
- monitoring and reporting requirements.
