NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Newport Beach’s harbor commission has passed a resolution headed to city council recommending a small amount of dredging waste be buried in the harbor in a contained facility.

The waste, which is unsuitable for dumping in the ocean, is currently being excavated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
