This document provides guidance on the application of the waste assessment guidelines (WAG) using low technology and low cost methods. For example, it contains details on low cost sampling, testing, information gathering and documenting, consistent with the WAG, to allow characterization of the dredged material and selection of suitable disposal sites, including guidance on simple and low cost monitoring of disposal activities, and feedback surveys to improve decision making.

Update: A December 2015 supplement for Guidelines on low cost, low technology assessment of dredged material, 2015 Edition has been published and is available to download.
