This pamphlet explains how hydropower is part of the nation's energy base and how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers helps develop this resource. Engineer Pamphlet provides policy information in support of ER 1165-2-501 to guide Corps of Engineers involvement in ecosystem restoration and protection through Civil Works programs and activities. This pamphlet provides guidance on a program designed to better understand the social and cultural terrain and the drivers of human behavior. This EP provides context and direction for USACE with regards to resilience and it serves as a roadmap to implement a number of key resilience-related strategies. This document also provides the general concepts for resilience and describes strategies and overarching activities to update resilience practices within USACE. This roadmap is an update of the draft roadmap provided internally to USACE in 2015 and applies to 2016. This pamphlet clarifies sustainability-related terms and definitions to help orient and align USACE staff on practices consistent with the Environmental Operating Principles (EOP), Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings (GP), Civil Works Strategic Plan (CWSP), and other directives. This EP provides a common operating picture' of USACE contributions to resilience. Within the Guide, we define resilience as "the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions." It serves as a benchmark, documenting resilience practices across the organization and at the project, system, and community levels. Section 2 provides background on multiple drivers for increased resilience. Section 3 provides examples of initiatives and practices performed within different USACE mission areas Civil Works, Military Programs, and Research and Development. Section 4 discusses partnerships and forums that USACE has been a participant. Section 5 inventories common tools and methodologies used by USACE and others. This pamphlet provides information on sustainable infrastructure practices applicable to Civil Works (CW) projects, programs, and other activities. USACE defines sustainable solutions as "solutions that balance environmental, economic, and social benefits and impacts to meet present needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs." This pamphlet explains the benefits of, and requirements for, stakeholder engagement, collaboration, and coordination in Civil Works planning studies. These activities are critical to study success because they may foster trust and credibility between USACE and the communities we serve; increase collective understanding of problems; reduce controversy and litigation risks; and improve the quality and execution of our decisions. Note: This EP replaces the existing Appendix B of the Planning Guidance Notebook. This appendix provides the policy and procedural guidance for planning, design, and implementation of projects pursued under the legislative and administrative provisions of the Continuing Authorities Program (CAP). Note: This EP replaces the existing Appendix F of the Planning Guidance Notebook. This EP provides information on how USACE incorporates life risk in the planning process for both new and existing projects, and in inland and coastal environments. Risk to human life is a fundamental component of flood and coastal storm risk management and must receive explicit consideration throughout the planning process. USACE planning studies consider and evaluate the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of a potential water resources project. Positive and negative impacts to life risk are considered alongside other social effects of the project. |
