National Shoreline Management Study In July 2002, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Institute for Water Resources (IWR) jointly sponsored a workshop with the Center for Economic Research, The George Washington University (GWU), to identify and discuss economic and financial considerations associated with shoreline protection. These proceedings provide a record of the workshop activities, including an overview of each speaker's presentation, copies of any slides or overheads used, and references to related readings or papers provided by the speakers. Economic Guidance Memoranda (EGMs) This memorandum provides NFIP operating costs from FY 1973 to FY 2004. Notice of the availability of normalized agricultural prices from the USDA. National Shoreline Management Study This report reviews 100 studies and reports pertaining to the economic consequences of shoreline change and related issues. This document will serve as a resource for the National Shoreline Management Study (NSMS) and is the first step towards developing a comprehensive bibliography of literature relevant to assessing the economic impacts of shoreline erosion and accretion and to inform eventual NSMS recommendations on appropriate levels of Federal and non-federal participation in shoreline protection at the NSMS completion. This literature search focused mostly on three topics for the NSMS: (1) market and policy incentives related to public and private shoreline use and management decisions, (2) identification of the benefits and costs of shoreline protection, and (3) consideration of the fiscal impacts and financing of shoreline protection. Economic Guidance Memoranda (EGMs) This memorandum provides normalized prices for years 1997-2002, at both state and national levels. This memorandum provides FY 2003 NFIP operating costs. National Shoreline Management Study This report discusses by year and summarizes by decade, major coastal storms, coastal legislation, significant coastal milestones and data on the ensuing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects since the start of the 20th century. The chronology shows that projects follow legislation, which follows public demands after devastating coastal storms. The report also defines the scope of the Corps shore protection program over the period in terms of the number and types of protective measures, lineal distances of protected shorelines, actual costs, and costs updated to September 2002. Projects under construction and in the planning stages are also listed. Economic Guidance Memoranda (EGMs) Provides data used in the economic evaluation of Corps of Engineers projects affecting agriculture. NFIP operating costs from FY 1973 to FY 2002. Summary of NFIP operating costs from FY 1973 through FY 2001. Normalized prices for years 1995-2000, at state and national level. This memorandum provides FY 2000 normalized prices. FY 2000 NFIP operating costs.

Engineer Pamphlets (EPs) Engineer Pamphlet provides basic background on flood plain management, including structural and nonstructural measures. Digest of Water Resources Policies and Authorities Engineer Pamphlet discusses the federal interest in beach erosion, flood protection, beach nourishment and emergency protection, among other topics. 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 Economic Guidance Memoranda (EGMs) This memorandum provides FY 1998 NFIP operating costs. It also shows NFIP costs since 1972. Policy and Special Studies Program Engineer Regulations (ERs) 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 defines the hydraulic design engineer's responsibilities for initial design of coastal shore protection projects. This regulation establishes the policy for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of USACE flood control and related structures at civil works water resource projects and of USACE-built flood protection projects operated and maintained by non-federal sponsors.

This regulation summarizes policy and procedures for identifying the costs of meeting improved standards when highways and housing are relocated due to construction of civil works projects. Institute for Water Resources This report is designed to present in some detail the results of successfully applying a land value approach using a multiple linear regression technique to two study areas. The bulk of the monograph is not directed to analyzing the utility of the approach per se, although the strengths and weaknesses are reviewed. The main concern is with a rather detailed exposition of the statistical analysis of areas in the Wabash and Missouri River Basins. In this respect it is written primarily for use at the field levels of the Corps to serve as a guide to the use of the approach in terms of the types of data required, the form of the data for use in the regression model, and the interpretation of the estimated regression model. This report is devoted to evaluating alternative methodologies to the frequency damage procedure for estimating agricultural crop flood control benefits. The Economic Research Service Regional Linear Programming model has been extended to the case of project analysis. The RLP model operates in the same way as a basin-wide firm and estimates the change in production costs (out of pocket cost) as flood protection (and drainage) measures are provided. Efficiency benefits are equal to decreases in production costs, since output is held constant. Critical assumptions and several major empirical problems encountered during the study are discussed. Finally, Part IV is a synopsis of the utility of the land value approach, the regional linear programming approach, and the frequency-damage approach. Webpage "Tales of the Coast" describes the coasts of the United States and the varied ways that people interact with and affect coastlines. These discussions provide an understanding of the dynamic nature of coasts and their importance to the social and economic fabric of the U.S.
