|
|
Engineer Circulars (ECs) This circular provides guidance for Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) and Districts in the use and conduct of Change Control Boards (CCB) to formalize changes to projects, ensure leadership visibility, and adherence to the USACE change management processes. This document describes the CCB responsibilities, membership, roles, activities, and processes that will be followed for conducting CCBs at MSCs and Districts. This document provides best practices for in-depth analysis of projected future hydroclimatology. It aims to (1) increase accessibility to and the appropriate use of climate change information relevant to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works projects, programs, missions, and operations and (2) support the use of that information to inform the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works planning process.  This document is no longer active and should be used for historical purposes only. This EC provides guidance for the implementation of Section 1135 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986 and Section 206 of WRDA 1996, P.L. 104-303. These sections provide programmatic authority for the Corps to undertake cost effective ecosystem restorations that are limited in cost and meet certain other criteria. This circular transmits interim guidance for implementation of nine legislative authorities under which the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to plan, design, and construct certain types of water resource and ecosystem restoration projects without additional project-specific Congressional authorization. The purpose of this guidance is to discuss the requirements and procedures for the implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered into on 29 March 2000 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of the Army (DA) regarding the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and the Corps of Engineers flood damage reduction projects The purpose of this Circular is to provide policy and procedures for the allocation of costs for multipurpose projects that include ecosystem restoration as a project purpose.

Works projects consistent with environmental sustainability as defined in the Corps of Engineers Environmental Operating Principles and Implementation Guidance. This EC is obsolete because it has been incorporated into Appendix H (amendment 1) of ER 1105-2-100. The purpose of this circular is to set forth modified procedures for major Subordinate Commands (MSC) and District Commanders to prepare and transmit the results of the studies and their recommendations contained in decision documents that require authorization by the United States Congress. This EC is obsolete because it has been incorporated into Appendix H (amendment 1) of ER 1105-2-100. This circular establishes a Civil Works Review Board (CWRB) and sets forth procedures for Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) and District Commanders to present the results of the studies and their recommendations contained in decision documents for projects that require authorization by the United States Congress. This EC is obsolete because it has been revised and reissued as an EC 1105-2-412. This circular establishes the process and requirements for certification of planning models. This circular has been incorporated into EC 1105-2-410. This circular establishes procedures to ensure the quality and credibility of Corps decision documents by adjusting and supplementing the current review process. This circular will be incorporated into permanent guidance. This circular lists procedures for the conduct of water resources planning and preparation of feasibility level (decision) reports that require authorization from Congress and those approved under delegated authority. This circular is incorporated into EC 1165-2-209. This circular provides procedures to ensure quality and credibility of USACE decision documents through independent review processes. The purpose of this Circular is to provide guidance for conducting watershed planning and preparing watershed plans led by the Corps under Section 729 of WRDA 1986, as amended, and other specifically authorized watershed planning authorities. This Circular is superseded by Engineer Regulation 1105-2-102: Watershed Studies, dated 1 April 2022. This circular establishes the process and the requirements for assuring the quality of planning models. Per Planning Bulletin 2013-02 (March 2013), EC 1105-2-412 remains in effect until permanent planning model guidance is issued. The Assuring Quality of Planning Models: EC 1105-2-412 Rollout Webinar provides an overview of the EC. Note: This EC has since been modified by the Modification of the Model Certification Process and Model Approval for Use (4 December 2017) and Delegation of Model Certification (11 May 2018) memos from the Director of Civil Works. This circular provides a consolidated document that will guide USACE procedures for levee system evaluations in support of the NFIP as administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This circular provides guidance for a comprehensive evaluation of vertical datum on flood control, shore protection, hurricane protection, and navigation projects. This circular establishes policy for the implementation and operation of remotely operated, remotely controlled, and automatically operated water control systems owned or operated by USACE. The purpose of this circular is to expand and tailor current federal guidelines for dam emergency action planning and other available resources for implementation within the USACE Dam and Levee Safety Programs. Because there are no federal guidelines for emergency action planning for levee systems, USACE has chosen to apply the same approaches for dam emergency action planning to levee systems. This document establishes the requirements for consistent application of certain key Emergency Action Plan (EAP) features for USACE operated/maintained dams or levee systems. This document also serves as an advisory document for use by other project owners/operators and provides policy for the use and dissemination of inundation map data. This circular provides guidance for development and submission of USACE direct Civil Works Program for FY09. This circular provides guidance for development and submission of USACE direct Civil Works Program for FY08. This circular establishes the policy for reemploying and deploying annuitants.
