Signed Chief's Reports

Sort by: District | State | Year | Title

A Chief's Report, the Report of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Chief of Engineers, is developed when a water resources project would require Congressional authorization - or a change to existing project authorization. After the final feasibility report is submitted to HQUSACE, a Chief's Report is developed. Once the Chief of Engineers signs the report, the Chief of Staff signs the notification letters forwarding the Report to the chairpersons of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The signed Chief's Report is also supplied to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works (OASA (CW)) for review by the Administration.
