Current Civil Works Realities• Traditional Funding and Delivery Models Increasingly Inadequate, More

Agile Processes and Thinking Now Necessary

• Administration, Congress and Partners Increasingly Demanding Change

in both Federal Permitting and Delivery of Federal Programs• Historic Level of Congressional Oversight Engagements

• Aggressive Administration Infra Posture, Bold Ideas in Play

• More Partners Turning to Alternative Delivery Models

• Significant Challenges and Opportunities Possible for FY 18/19• Historic Storm Supplemental ($17.4B)

• Presumptive FY 18 Approps Could be Substantial (~$6B+)

• Presumptive Admin Infrastructure Initiative Could be Transformative, With

Any Funding Likely Linked to Reforms ($0-$20B)

• How is the Corps Responding?• Drive to Deliver on Projects, Programs, Commitments

• Powering Down Decision-Making

• Working Closely with and Listening to Partners

• Actively Supporting White House Infrastructure Initiative

Infrastructure Financing: PROBLEM...Federal Budget Not Capable of Adequately Financing Nation's Water Resource Infrastructure RequirementsWhat we are Doing- Developed 6 Administration Policy Modification Proposals for White House Infrastructure Team that will Enhance Project Delivery- Working with ASA(CW) to Develop WIFIA Policy Guidance, MOA with EPA - Working with ASA(CW) to Develop Policy Guidance for the Use of P3 and GrantsWhere we Need Help- Consistent Administration Commitment to Fund Projects Until Complete, Once Begun (Means Funding Fewer Projects)- Flexibility to Apply a Multitude of Funding Methodologies...Whatever it Takes to Complete the Project- Retaining Expertise on Public Infrastructure Financing

Project Delivery: PROBLEM…Current Project Delivery Model has too Much Uncertainty/Inefficiency, Which Drives Up Costs and Drags Projects OutWhat we are Doing- Developed 5 Administration Policy Modification Proposals to White House Infrastructure Team that will Enhance Project Delivery- Developed 7 Legislative Proposals to White House Infrastructure Team that will Enhance Project Delivery- Implementing 5 Civil Works Lines of EffortWhere we Need Help- Clarify Federal Interest/Responsibility for Delivering Water Resources Infrastructure- Prioritize Projects, Based on Federal Interest/Responsibility, and Transition Others

Administration’s Infrastructure InitiativePermit Streamlining: PROBLEM: Uncertainty/Length of Time it Takes to Issue Permits for Infrastructure Projects

What we are Doing:- Developed 11 Legislative Proposals for White House Infrastructure Team that will Help Expedite Permit Reviews- Developed 7 Administration Policy Modification Proposals for White House Infrastructure Team that will Help Expedite Environmental Reviews- Developed 4 Internal Policy/Process Changes to Improve the Permit Review Process- Participating in the CEQ-led EO 13807 (Establish Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects-ONE FEDERAL DECISION). Currently working to develop new guidance for NEPA decisions and tools (EAs, CEs, and EIS) as well as development of a framework to inform/implement ONE FEDERAL DECISION required under Section 5b of the EO. - Participating in the EPA-led EO 13778 (Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism, and Economic Growth by Reviewing the Waters of the US Rule). Will amend any regulatory policies/regulations as a result of a replacement WOTUS Rule.- Participating in FAST 41/Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (FPISC), actively leading one covered project (Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion) and serving as a supporting agency on 15 other infrastructure projects.- Updating 9 Nationwide Permits (NWPs) Identified for Changes Under EO 13783 (Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth), Plus Any additional NWPs that might Further Streamline Processes, to Include Authority for Federal Agencies to Select and Use NWPs Without Additional USACE Review

Where we Need Help: Patience as we Work Through the Various Streamlining Initiatives

• USACE Funding Continues to be Constrained and

Addressing the Nation’s Infrastructure Investment Gap must

be a Shared Federal, State and Local Responsibility.

• The Corps Doesn’t Deliver Anything by Itself… Critical

that We Not Lose Focus on Our Partners, Stakeholders, and

Our Commitments

• Navigation Investment is Essential for the Nation’s Global

Trade and International Competiveness

• America’s Marine Transportation System infrastructure

Must be a National Priority in Order to Secure Adequate

Levels of Investment

• Navigation Investment is Key to National Economy, Jobs,

and Exports!
