Section 12318 - Team to develop recommendations for beneficial reuse of dredged material
(a) The Resources Agency may establish a team of federal, state, and local agencies, and other persons or entities with a stake in finding a solution to the problems of the delta levees, to develop recommendations for the beneficial reuse of dredged material, consistent with actions identified by the CALFED Bay-Delta Program as core actions, which are those actions included in all bay-delta solutions.

(2) Beneficial reuse of dredged or suitable alternative materials.
(3) Coordination of dredging projects to augment on-island stockpiles.
(4) Development of a comprehensive monitoring program of the effects of the reuse of dredged material.
(5) A study of the applicability and appropriateness of constructing channel sediment traps and dredged material rehandling facilities adjacent to frequently dredged channel sections.
