    A DCG-CEO Report or Director's Report is an official decision document recommending a change to an existing project. When the proposed change exceeds the Chief of Engineers' discretionary authority under current law, the report supports the case for seeking further Congressional authorization. It is backed by a validation study that justifies the recommendation. The report can be signed by the Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations (DCG-CEO) or the USACE Director of Civil Works.

    • DCG-CEO Report: Port of Long Beach Deep Draft Navigation Project, Los Angeles County, California, Validation Report (2026)
      This DCG-CEO Report affirms the Port of Long Beach Deep Draft Navigation, Los Angeles County, California, post-authorization change report (validation report). As authorized by Water Resources Development Act 2022, the Port of Long Beach Project improves navigation efficiency and safety by deepening the Approach Channel, Main Channel, West Basin, and Pier J Approach. The validation report presents a revised cost estimate and documents design refinements to the authorized project. The validation report provides justification for increasing the authorized total project first cost from $189,308,000 (authorized cost of $175,787,000 adjusted to fiscal year (FY) 2026 price levels) to $255,811,000 (FY 2026 price levels). The primary driver of the Project cost increase is attributed to a 2024 critical update of the Cost Engineering Dredge Estimating Program (CEDEP) revising nationwide dredge productivity, contractor markups, market conditions in labor, and fuel pricing assumptions. The validation report further describes recommended design refinements which are within the Project's existing Chiefs discretionary authority.
    • DCG-CEO Report: Rio de Flag, Flagstaff, AZ, Validation Report (2026)

The primary driver of the cost increase is due to engineering design changes. Specifically, the reasons for the design changes include advancing design and construction efficiency, engineering best practices, input from subject matter experts on railroad related impacts and considerations, construction methodology changes, change in stone source, quantity increases, subsurface variability, and site-specific conditions identified through the design process.
