NRCS and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Draft Action Plan
NRCS and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Core Team have drafted an action
plan to implement the National Partnership Agreement that was signed
by NRCS and USACE in 2005 and to monitor the benefits of accomplished
collaborative efforts among both agencies that improve the management of water
and related natural resources. The action plan identifies initiatives that both
agencies can collaboratively and cost-effectively pursue.
Even though the action plan will be national in scope, items in the action plan
range from the policy and programmatic level to the development and application
of watershed tools and training targeted for field level use. The items in the plan
are intended to improve coordination and communication between officials and
staff at every level of the agencies.
The NRCS/USACE core team is actively soliciting input from all levels of both
organizations with a substantive effort placed upon effectively engaging the
field. A subset team, comprised of technical specialists from both agencies, is
currently providing input for the draft action plan. The core team plans to
distribute the draft action plan nationwide to both agencies for a field level
review and comments following subset team review. The final action plan
for the NRCS/USACE National Partnership Agreement is scheduled to be approved by
the leadership of both agencies later this year.

Engineers, at 501-210-8910.
