This memorandum provides deep draft vessel costs for use in determining potential benefits of waterway improvement projects. Engineer Circulars (ECs) This circular provides guidance for a comprehensive evaluation of vertical datum on flood control, shore protection, hurricane protection, and navigation projects. Engineer Pamphlets (EPs) Engineer Pamphlet describes activities necessary to design and prepare a Hydrologic Engineering Study for a Corps water resource investigation. Engineer Pamphlet discusses federal responsibility and authority in water resources policy. Digest of Water Resources Policies and Authorities Engineer Pamphlet describes the Corps' role in navigation, federal policies covering navigation, and the construction aspects of navigation projects. Digest of Water Resources Policies and Authorities Engineer Pamphlet discusses federal recreation policy and philosophy, different types of recreation projects, project evaluation, and project finance. Digest of Water Resources Policies and Authorities Engineer Regulations (ERs) This appendix provides policy and planning guidance for project purposes of navigation, flood damage reduction, hurricane and storm damage reduction (shore protection), ecosystem restoration, hydroelectric power, recreation, water supply and multiple purpose projects. This regulation prescribes the policy and procedure for approval and technical supervision of coastal, hydraulic, and hydrologic studies related to planning, design, construction, and operation of projects. This regulation prescribes the design procedure and rationale for the hydraulic design of deep-draft navigation projects. This regulation describes the Coastal Field Data Collection (CFDC) Program This regulation states the objective, outlines the scope, discusses funding, assigns responsibility, and establishes the procedures by which the Corps of Engineers (CE) evaluates civil works navigation projects. This regulation provides guidance for proper and accurately referenced materials for flood forecasting, inundation modeling, flood insurance rate maps, navigation charting, and topographic mapping. This ER was later supplemented by Engineer Manual 1110-2-6056: Standards and Procedures for Referencing Project Elevation Grades to Nationwide Vertical Datums (2010). This regulation establishes the policy for the operations and maintenance (O&M) of USACE navigation and dredging projects, as well as their related structures and equipment. This regulation provides policy guidance regarding Corps interests in civil works projects that would directly serve a single entity. This regulation provides policy guidance for implementation of Section 203 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, as amended. Section 203 authorizes non-federal interests to undertake feasibility studies of proposed water resources development projects for submission to the Secretary of the Army. Separate guidance is provided on the construction of water resources development projects under Section 204 of WRDA 1986, as amended. Portions of this ER have been amended by implementation guidance for Section 1126 of WRDA 2016. This regulation provides policy guidance for implementation of Section 204(f) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, as amended. Section 204(f) authorizes the Secretary of the Army to be responsible for the operation and maintenance of improvements to a federally authorized harbor or inland harbor carried out by a non-federal interest when certain conditions are met. This regulation provides policies and guidelines for the apportionment of bridge alteration costs required in connection with navigation improvements. Guidance Memos This memorandum addresses the requirement to perform mitigation when proposed USACE flood-risk reduction projects increase the Base (1-percent-annual-chance) Flood Elevation (BFE). National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations (44 C.F.R. 65.12) require revisions to flood insurance rate maps to reflect BFE and/or floodway changes caused by encroachments permitted by an NFIP participating community. Institute for Water Resources The distribution of vessel sizes that will serve U.S. ports is a critical assumption in Corps of Engineers planning studies to determine potential benefits of harbor improvement projects. The planning horizon for such studies requires fleet forecasts that go beyond those routinely used for shipping industry purposes. The forecast is limited to vessels serving U.S. foreign trade, but is based on analysis of worldwide shipping supply and demand. Global seaborne trade projections were developed by DRI/McGraw-Hill in cooperation with Temple, Barker 4 Sloane, Inc. (TES). Lloyd's Maritime Services, Ltd. (LMIS) provided data on ship utilization, construction, and scrapping. A model developed by TES related supply to demand and accounted for vessel redeployments, retirements, and additions to fleet capacity. The forecasts are in tons of cargo available and tons of ship capacity, by size range for 11 vessel types, for 75 trade routes serving five U.S. coastal ranges (North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Gulf, North Pacific, South Pacific). Forecast intervals are 1995, 2000, 2010, and 2020. NETS This document is descriptive of version 1.5.5.2 (October 2013) and includes details on the latest HarborSym functionality. NETS activity: HSAM: An Interactive Immersive Animation Deep-Draft Maritime Traffic Simulations Guidance Memos Section 125(a)(2)(C) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2020 amends Section 204(d) of WRDA 1992 (33 U.S.C. 2326(d)) to authorize the Secretary of the Army for Civil Works to use funds appropriated for construction or operation and maintenance of a project involving the disposal of dredged material when selecting a disposal method that is not the least cost option based on a determination that the incremental costs of the disposal method are reasonable in relation to the environmental benefits or the hurricane and storm or flood risk reduction benefits. This memorandum provides guidance and direction on implementation of Section 125(a)(2)(C) and rescinds and replaces the implementation guidance for Section 1038 of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014. White Paper This paper summarizes experiences in the field along with challenges to the Panama Canal Expansion project. The paper also provides several recommendations for follow-up studies, which should ultimately lead to standardized assumptions and a revised framework for National Economic Development analyses considering the canal's expansion. NETS NETS activity: Long-Term Forecasting of World Grain Trade and U.S. Gulf Exports: Submitted to the Transportation Research Board for Publication in Transportation Research Record NETS activity: Long-Term Forecasting of World Grain Trade and US Gulf Exports Institute for Water Resources USACE major responsibilities for waterborne commerce include dredging, development and maintenance of the inland and coastal waterways and related maritime infrastructure, and navigation aids. A firm understanding of marine transportation conditions and trends is critical in discharging those responsibilities. The U.S. Maritime Transportation System (MTS) no longer exists in isolation, but must interact with ports, land carriers, customers, communities, environmental restrictions and security concerns. This second in a series of Water Resources Outlook papers is intended to develop an understanding of the challenges faced by the MTS over the next 30 years and suggests roles for the private and governmental sectors, including the Corps. It is intended to provide a strong, fact-based foundation for policy, planning and priorities.
