Overarching messages
We are a science- and data-driven organization, made up of a wide range of highly trained professionals—engineers, biologists, economists, etc.
We work within the authorities given us by the Congress.
We conduct extensive studies, surveys and analyses of the effects, benefits and engineering requirements associated with our projects.
Corps and independent panels subject our studies and analyses to rigorous independent technical and economic reviews.
Only projects that pass these reviews move forward to Congress for authorization and funding.
Most of our projects require financial support from a local, non-federal sponsor.
We are entirely transparent about our data. All of our reports, along with comments from reviewers and the public and the associated responses, are freely available on our website.
We are an environmentally sensitive organization and go to great lengths to minimize and mitigate effects of projects on the environment.
Jacksonville District is a national leader in ecosystem restoration (Everglades) and protection of wetlands.
The District is growing—we need to hire nearly 100 additional professionals in a wide range of technical and scientific specialities over the next year.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Foster sustainability
Proactive consideration of environmental consequences
Mutually supporting economic and environmentally sustainable solutions
Accountability for activities which may impact human and natural environments
Collaborative leveraging of scientific, economic, and social knowledge to understand environmental context
Consideration of environment and risk management in context of project and program lifecycle
Open, transparent process respecting views of individuals and groups interested in Corps activities
IMAGE: Wading birds return – Kissimmee River Restoration
Consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), USACE has reaffirmed its commitment to the environment by formalizing a set of environmental operating principles applicable to all its decision making and programs. These principles foster unity of purpose on environmental issues and ensure that conservation, and environmental preservation and restoration are considered in all USACE activities.
The recommended plan reduced the original study scope to maximize the net economic benefits and minimize environmental impact, which mutually supports economic and environmentally sustainable solutions. Accountability for activities, as well as consideration of the environment and risk management in context of project life cycle, is assured through the mitigation plan.
The Recommended National Priorities are met with this project. The project will help create new jobs and provides significant economic impacts to help restore the economy. The Recommended Plan allows for larger vessels to transit, with fewer calls, and reductions in delays to navigation allowing for future growth in global trade, increased global competition, and increased energy independence through less calls.
