completed by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District
These web pages present a brief description of water
resources projects completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
in
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. It describes the role of the Corps in planning and building
water resource improvements and explains the procedure leading to the
authorization of such projects.
For ease of reference, the material is arranged according
to the type of project, i.e. flood damage reduction, navigation, or shore and
bank protection. There is also a reference that
lists Corps' projects by community. A map showing the location of
all Corps projects in the state is provided on the index for each state.
The Corps of Engineers water resources development program
exerts a significant impact on New England's physical, economic, and social
environment. This publication affords citizens the opportunity to learn
about the various projects and to determine how they can participate in
decisions regarding present and future activities.
Before taking measures to resolve water resource problems,
the New England District performs individual studies on each affected area to
determine if a Civil Works project is feasible. Each study examines a wide
range of potential solutions based on economic and engineering practicality,
acceptability, and impact on the environment. These on-going studies
are discussed in detail in each of the quarterly New England District State
Update Reports which are available by request through the Public Affairs
Office.
