The purpose of the Shoreline Management Program is to
protect and manage shorelines of all Civil Works water
resource development projects under Corps jurisdiction in a
manner that promotes the safe and healthful use by the
public while maintaining environmental safeguards to ensure
a quality resource for use by the public. The objective of
all management actions is to achieve balance between
permitted private uses and resource protection for general
public use.
Except to honor written commitments made prior to December
13, 1974, private shoreline uses are not allowed on water
resource projects where construction was initiated after
this date or on water resource projects where no private
shoreline uses existed as of that date.
