(A) When determining whether to issue a harbor sediment authorization for lake Erie dredge pursuant to rule 3745-599-400 of the Administrative Code, the director may consider at a minimum the following criteria:
(1) The geographic area from which the lake Erie dredge was excavated.
(2) The extent to which the lake Erie dredge has been dewatered.
(3) A characterization of the lake Erie dredge through analysis of all constituents reasonably expected to be present in the lake Erie dredge and sufficient samples as necessary for a statistical analysis.
(4) Comparisons of constituent concentrations to established screening levels, restrictions, or standards that include but are not limited to the following:

(5) Information obtained from the army corps of engineers, the national oceanic and atmospheric association, Ohio EPA, the United States environmental protection agency, or any other relevant information deemed acceptable by the director.
(6) Whether methods are being employed to ensure that the lake Erie dredge is not commingled with solid waste or other contaminants.
(7) The concentration of cyanotoxins in the lake Erie dredge.
(8) Any additional criteria deemed necessary by the director.
(B) A characterization of lake Erie dredge may be conducted by means of testing and analysis in accordance with one or a combination of the following applicable methods or other methods deemed acceptable by the director:
