Dallas Floodway
Bull Shoals Powerhouse, Arkansas
Houston Ship Channel
Sardis Dam, Oklahoma
Navigation (Ports and Channels)• 3 of the Nation’s “Top Ten” ports• 32 channels (15 deep draft, 17 shallow draft) • More than 500 M tons of commerce annually
Navigation (Inland)2 major waterways (GIWW and MKARNS)
Hydroelectric Power• 18 power plants in 6 states produce 6.7 billion kw hours• 87% of regional capacity, third in the Corps
Water Supply• 9.3 million acre-feet of
water storage• Water control contracts =
water for 1.8 million households
Regulatory (work in waters & wetlands)
• Over 5000 permit decisions annually
• Protection of waters & wetlands
Recreation• 20 percent of the Corps'
total recreation projects located within the regional boundary• 83 million visitors at 90
operating projects located in five states
Flood Damage Reduction
• 74 flood damage reduction
lakes/reservoirs• 33.22M acre-feet
of flood storage• 760 miles of local
flood protection projects
• $85 B in cumulative flood
damage prevention
