Dredging Quality Management (DQM)
Monitoring our Nation's Dredges
The Dredging Quality Management (DQM) Program is a partnership between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the dredging industry, delivering standardized, automated monitoring for all USACE civil works and most regulatory permitted dredging jobs nationwide. Managed by the DQM Center in Mobile District’s Spatial Data Branch, the program delivers consistent, high-quality data that enables faster decision-making, stronger collaboration across districts and contractors, and integration with systems like ODESS and DIS to inform environmental stewardship and streamline reporting across contracts and districts.
