Planning News Flash

Planning plays a vital role in supporting the Corps of Engineers Civil Works water resources development mission. Through planning activities, including feasibility studies, General and Limited Reevaluation Studies, Continuing Authorities Program studies, and Post Authorization Change studies, Corps planners help decision-makers identify water resources problems, conceive solutions to them and compare the importance of the inevitable conflicting values inherent in any solution.

In FY13 and FY14, our transition to SMART Planning processes and approaches will continue to improve the efficiency and delivery of studies.

Without Planning, the 933 Projects under construction in FY2012 would not have been possible, including 404 Continuing Authorities projects and 500 projects specifically authorized by Congress:

  • 236 Flood Risk Management projects
  • 19 Hydropower projects
  • 72 Navigation projects
  • 62 Environmental Restoration projects
  • 57 Environmental Infrastructure projects
  • 54 Shoreline erosion projects

For more information on the activities Corps Planning supports, see the FY 2013 "Civil Works Program Statistics," published 20 March 2013.
