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. |

Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Coastal Resilience Study, Brazoria and Matagorda Counties, Texas
Construction of the GIWW channel in Matagorda and Brazoria Counties was completed in the 1940s. Since original construction a barrier system has served as a protective feature to the navigation channel from coastal storm events. and erosive forces of the Gulf of Mexico. Over time, coastal storms, natural erosion, and anthropogenic disturbances (e.g., erosion due to vessel traffic) have caused this barrier system to almost disappear in some reaches in the study area. In other reaches, the barrier system is expected to significantly erode in size over the 50-year period of analysis. Projected sea level rise exacerbates the erosion concerns. The feasibility study findings show that if no action is taken to restore the barrier system, the GIWW navigation channel in the study area is expected to become vulnerable, affecting its reliability, resiliency, safety, environmental sustainability, and resulting in a reduction of economic efficiency. The recommended plan will improve navigation, significantly reduce the maintenance requirement. and provide resiliency along the GIWW in Matagorda County.
