Operation & Maintenance
Once a Corps civil works project is constructed or implemented, it is usually turned over to the sponsor for ongoing Operation and Maintenance including Repair, Rehabilitation, and Replacement (OMRR&R). During this phase, all of the activities needed to make the project work are conducted. These activities range from day-to-day maintenance, such as trash removal to long-term or less frequent jobs, such as repairing access roads, replacing worn out pumps, and ultimately, complete rehabilitation or even replacement of the entire project. It also includes final certification of necessary real estate for operation and maintenance."Once a Corps civil works project is constructed or implemented, it is usually turned over to the sponsor for ongoing Operation and Maintenance including Repair, Rehabilitation, and Replacement (OMRR&R)."
The sponsor's responsibility for project operation and maintenance begins when the project is turned over to the sponsor following construction, and continues indefinitely. The sponsor must pay for all operation and maintenance costs, except for navigation and fish and wildlife enhancement projects where the Corps of Engineers has some responsibility for funding.
During this phase, the community will realize the full benefits of the project, and responsibility passes from the Corps of Engineers to the sponsor. The Corps involvement after construction normally will consist of periodic routine inspections to ensure that the project is being properly maintained and is functioning as intended. In very rare circumstances, such as if there is a need to correct a design or construction deficiency, the Corps may return to the project to restudy a situation or take additional action.
