DOTS Responses
The ERDC Dredging Operations Technical Support Program (DOTS) provides environmental and engineering technical support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Operations and Maintenance navigation and dredging missions through DOTS Requests and other activities. Technology transfer products and activities support diverse field needs that directly benefit navigation and dredging operations throughout the United States.
All DOTS responses are documented to summarize the technical activities performed, deliverables completed, and benefits of the response to the Dredging /Navigation program(s).
