RMP and Small Dredgers

• RMP intended to give small dredgers a break on
  fees
• LTMS will significantly reduce in-bay disposal
• Hamilton ATF is key to LTMS success
• BUT Hamilton may result in mainly small dredgers
  disposing in-bay
• Thus, under current fee structure small dredgers
  could pay most non-Corps RMP fees
