Accuracy of Computed Water Surface Profiles
Accuracy of Computed Water Surface Profiles document an investigation of the effect of survey technology and accuracy and reliability of hydraulic roughness estimates on the accuracy of computed water surface profiles. The survey technologies studies include field survey, aerial surveys, and photographic maps as data sources for stream cross-sectional geometry. A Monte Carlo simulation strategy was applied to develop an array of computed profile errors for the survey technologies and selected accuracies, and Manning's coefficient reliability. Regression equation were derived for predicting profile errors as a function of survey technology, selected accuracy, Maning's roughness coefficient, and stream hydraulic properties.

Accuracy of Computed Water Surface Profiles, Appendix D - Data Management and Processing Procedures
The purpose of the Water Surface Profile Error Analysis Study is to determine guideline which indicate the affect that geometric accuracy and boundary friction accuracy have on computed water surface profiles. The study procedures and results are documented in RD-26 and RD-26A. This appendix descries only the data management and processing portion of the study. To analyze the accuracy of computer water surface profiles as a function of several variables, the Monte-Carlo simulation technique was applied. This technique required over 40,000 execution of HEC-2. The input data to and the results from HEC-2 had to be systematically and automatically manipulated and processed. A preprocessed program modified simplified HEC-2 input data to do the following: Simulate errors in measuring geometry and in determining roughness coefficients, interpolate intermediate cross-section, optionally determine topographic cross-sections, and automatically submit the manipulated input data as a "batch" computer job. This appendix describes the details of data processing, the assumption that were made, and the software that was developed and applied to meet the study needs/

Adoption of Flood Flow Frequency Estimates at Ungaged Locations
The purpose of this paper was to present the concept of adopting flood frequency relationships at ungaged locations based on all the available information. The appendix included descriptions of the methodologies involved in using the individual procedures and listed the primary advantages and limitations of each. The use of the adopted frequency curve concept provides insight as to the variability of the results, places proper emphasis on the end product, the frequency curve, and generally results in better flood flow frequency estimates.

ADR Round Table: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (South Atlantic Division, Corporate Contractors, and Law Firms), Working Paper #1, Alternative Dispute Resolution Series
There were two main purposes for the ADR Round Table. First was the desire to promote ADR by giving participants the opportunity to learn more about this developing field and the Corps of Engineers' program to promote ADR. Second, the Round Table offered the opportunity for a dialogue among those directly involved in business relationships which have become entangled in the modern-day web of litigation. In the spirit of cooperation which underlies successful ADR efforts, it was hoped that a genuine exchange a perceptions could occur, including obstacles to ADR and opportunities for promoting greater use of ADR procedures to resolve disputes. Keywords: Promote ADR, Obstacles, Opportunities, Awareness incentives, Communication, Early action benefits suggestions. (sdw)

After Workshop Report on Improving the Economic Analysis of Small Boat Harbors
This report summarizes the results of a study on how to improve the economic analysis of small boat harbors. These type projects present a unique set of difficult planning problems. This is particularly true for harbors in Alaska and Hawaii that are exposed to large waves and/or
violent weather patterns that require stout (and expensive) wave protection features and rock outcrops in dredged channels, requiring expensive excavation procedures. These small projects
have all the expensive components of large projects, but sometimes benefit only a relatively
small number of vessels. This sometimes makes justification difficult. These small projects are,
however, very important to the states by enhancing the commercial as well as sport fishing and tourism. For many small towns and localities, particularly in Alaska where there is only a limited road network, these harbors represent the only means of commerce and mode of transportation to the rest of the state and the world.

Agricultural Flood Control Benefits and Land Values
This report is designed to present in some detail the results of successfully
applying a land value approach using a multiple linear regression technique to
two study areas. The bulk of the monograph is not directed to analyziing the
utility of the approach per se, although the strengths and weaknesses are
reviewed. The main concern is with a rather detailed exposition of th
statistical analysis of areas in the Wabash and Missouri River Basins.
In this respect it is written primarily for use at the field levels of the Corps
to serve as a guide to the use of the approach in terms of the types of
data required, the form of the data for use in the regression model, and
the interpretation of the estimated regression model.

Analysis of Alternative Procedures for the Evaluation of Agricultural Flood Control Benefits
This report is devoted to evaluating alternative methodologies to the frequencydamage
procedure for estimating agricultural crop flood control benefits. An
extension of the Economic Research Service Regional Linear Programming model to
the case of project analysis has been made. The RLP model operates in the same
way as a basin wide firm. and estimates the change in production costs (out of
pocket cost) as flood protection (and drainage) measures are provided. Efficiency
benefits are equal to decreases in production costs, since output is held constant.
Critical assumptions and several major empirical problems encountered during the
study are discussed.
Finally, a synopsis of the utility of the land value approach, the regional linear
programming approach and the frequency-damage approach is made in Part IV.

Analysis of Process Issues in Shared Vision Planning Cases
Much of the literature regarding Shared Vision Planning (or other forms of Computer-Aided Dispute Resolution) focuses on the characteristics of the computer model developed during the process, on related technical studies, and on and the evaluation of alternatives. This report looks instead at the process followed during Shared Vision Planning by analyzing the processes used in a number of published Shared Vision Planning cases. Of particular interest are the types and mechanisms for stakeholder involvement in developing and using the model.
The US Army Engineers Institute for Water Resources (IWR) is a proponent of Shared Vision Planning. This analysis focuses primarily on Shared Vision Planning cases posted on IWR's Shared Vision Planning website or included in the handout materials for a 2007 workshop on Computer-Aided Dispute Resolution. A few additional cases have been added from cases described in a literature review prepared for IWR by CDM, which provides a much broader look at the literature regarding use of computer modeling in planning or decision making.

Analysis of Supply and Demand of Urban Oriented Nonreservoir Recreation
This report contains the results of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers research
into the supply and demand of urban oriented nonreservoir recreation. It
is an interim report on an initial phase of a comprehensive effort underway
within the Corps to develop methodologies, procedures, and guidance for the
estimation of recreation use and benefits for nonreservoir water resource
development projects. The specific objectives of this research were to
develop a data base on use and users of urban recreation facilities which are water related but not reservoir projects, and to prepare estimating
equations which produce reasonable and supportable estimates of recreation
use and demand. The analysis models and methodology for use prediction and
benefit estimation developed through this phase of research need to be duplicated
and validated in other locations to ensure general applicability in
recreational water resource planning.

Analysis of Theories and Methods for Estimating Benefits of Protecting Urban Floodplains
From the theoretical model developed in this paper and a review of the relevant
literature, it was concluded that subject to problems caused by externalities,
benefits of floodplain protection can be appropriately measured by direct
estimation or by examining changes in site values, with and without protection,
on the affected areas. Since the two studies reviewed in detail, Weisz and
INTASA, each makes use of these measurements, in principle we conclude
that conceptual differences between the two studies are minor. Both rely on change's in land values in the final analysis; Weisz does so explicitly, and
INTASA uses such changes in estimating the value of amenities and social
environment effects, although the precise way in which the changes are used
is not adequately explained.
Although the basic conceptual models are similar, there are considerable
differences in implementation. Weisz sets up a linear programming model
which maximizes the benefits as measured by land values. On the other hand
the INTASA approach rather explicitly eschews the maximization approach,
and prefers to work within the framework of very detailed planner projection
and rankings.

Analysis of Towboat Operating Areas
NETS activity Analysis of Towboat operating Areas.The Upper Mississippi River (UMR), which has 29 lock and dam facilities along it, carries a large fraction of the cargo moving on the U.S. inland waterways. It periodically experiences severe congestion (particularly at the lower UMR locks) due to seasonal variations in system use as well as to the relatively short (600 ft) lock chambers provided at most locks. Many towboats now exceed the 600 ft length and require relatively slow double cut lockages. According to Sweeney (2004) and the UMSL Center for Transportation Studies (CTS) (2005), the UMR seasonality is evident because the operating conditions become extremely difficult or
impossible in winter due to the freezing of the river and demand (e.g., grains and coal shipments) is seasonal as well. Many towboats migrate to the UMR during the early spring and out of it in
late fall; cyclic influx and efflux of towboats to the UMR has been observed in the previous studies (1-3). The objective of this analysis is to understand characteristics of the UMR towboat operation and provide practical information about towboat use in the study area for the UMR navigation system simulation (NaSS) model, which is being developed by the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers. Some obvious questions that provide the major impetus for this analysis are listed
below.

Analyzing Employment Effects of Stream Restoration Investments Final Report
The quality of the Nation's natural resources has long been a concern for policy makers at all levels of government. However, the nature of this challenge and the responses chosen to meet these needs have shifted with time. Thirty years ago, key water resources problem were addressed through largely capital intensive approaches. Such infrastructure investments are typically projects requiring large amounts of equipment and personnel to construct, resulting in significant edifices that are often in conflict with environmental goals.

Annual Extreme Lake Elevations by Total Probability Theorem
Annual extreme water levels on the Great Lakes, whether maximums or minimum, have a high serial dependence. Therefor, application of traditional frequency analysis techniques must be interpreted in a different manner and more sophisticated statistical techniques must be applied to account for this dependence. Decomposition of the annual extremes into two parts. one containing the highly deponent part and the other containing the random part, is one method of dealing with the dependence in the lake elevations. Appropriate statistical analyses can be applied to the separate parts and then the individual results combined to obtain the final frequency relation. This study develops mean monthly lake elevation duration curves to represent the dependent part and wind setup frequency curves for the random part. These parts are then combined by application of the total probability theorem.

Annual Report to Congress on the Status of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for Fiscal Year 1997
The Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) and Trust Fund (HMTF) were established by Title XIV of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986 (P.L. 99-662). The HMT is applied as a 0.125 percent ad valorem fee on the value of commercial cargo transported on vessels using Federally maintained navigation projects. HMT revenues collected by the U.S. Customs Service are transferred to the HMTF for disbursal upon appropriation by Congress. Currently, 100 percent of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) eligible operations and maintenance (O&M) expenditures for commercial navigation are recovered from the HMTF, along with 100 percent of the O&M cost of the St. Lawrence Seaway by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC). Beginning in Fiscal Year 1998 the Federal share of construction for USACE dredged material disposal sites will also be recovered from the HMTF (Section 201 WRDA 1996).

Annual Report to the Congress on the Status of Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for Fiscal Year 1999
The HMT and HMTF were established by Title XIV of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986 (P.L. 99-662). The HMT is applied on an ad valorem basis on the value of commercial cargo involved in "any port use" of Federally maintained navigation projects. The term "port use" is defined in Section 1401 of WRDA 1986 [26 USC 4462] as the loading or unloading of commercial cargo to or from a commercial vessel at a port. "Port" is defined as any channel or harbor (or component thereof) in the United states which: (a) is not an inland waterway and (b) is open to public navigation. The "commercial cargo" subject to the fee is defined as any cargo transported on a commercial vessel, including passengers transported for compensation or hire, but not including bunker fuel, ship's stores, sea stores, the legitimate equipment necessary for the operation of a vessel, nor any fish or other aquatic animal life caught and not previously landed on shore.

Applied Risk Communication Within the Corps of Engineers
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is encouraging, and in some cases requiring, greater use of risk-based analytical methods in evaluating the engineering and economic performance of its proposed investments. To this end, the Corps perceives a need to improve its co~~unication of risk information among groups within the Corps and with its customers. There exists a considerable volume of literature on the subject of risk communication, but much of its advice is either unrelated to Corps concerns or is too general for applied problems. A workshop comprised of a small team of national and international experts in the field of risk communication was held in concert with Corps personnel. The workshop was conducted for the purpose of highlighting ideas, concepts, and methods of risk communication and discussing the bearing on conventional . application of such approaches to Corps practices. This workshop and review was conducted as part of the Corps' Risk Analysis For Water Resources Investments Research Program, managed by the Institute For Water Resources.

Applying Continuous Process Improvement Tools in the Civil Works Program
The document was written as a functional users manual, reference, and implementation framework. There is enough information enclosed to provide the tools and tyechniques needed to fully implement TQM except perhaps for some fine details. It can serve as a guidefor several years of TQM growth and development. It should be supplemented with with periodic but continuous outside training in the form of seminars and workshops. The reference in the bibliography are also very useful. The reader will likely find the material "intense" due to it's technical character and will likely need to read the document two or three times before all the implications can be absorbed. Reinventing government is bringing with it a whole new understanding of what management is about. TQM is a powerful element in that understanding.

(An)Assessment of Hydroelectric Pumped Storage
"An Assessment of Hydroelectric Pumped Storage" is part of a larger, comprehensive study undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess the
potential contribution of hydroelectric power resources to the Nation's energy
supply. The pumped storage assessment consists of three major areas: (1) An
up-to-date inventory of the various pumped storage projects (operational and
planned) in the United States; (2) A study of the technological alternatives to
pumped storage including new peak-load generating technologies and the "zero
kilowatt" technologies of load management and conservation (a major focus of this section is an analysis of the feasibility of each of the alternatives and
a comparative cost assessment with pumped storage); and, (3) a regional analysis
of the future need for pumped storage (or its alternatives) based on a range of
possible regional growth rates, the overall cost competitiveness of each peaking
alternative, and the cost of installing the additional base load capacity to
support each of these alternatives.

(An)Assessment of Procedures for Determining Civil Works Research and Development Needs and Priorities
On 13 August 1980 the Deputy Director of Civil Works requested that the
Institute for Water Resources (IWR) investigate the procedures for developing
priorities for the Civil Works Research and Development Program (R&D). The
resulting Report is a working paper that details IWR's assessment, findings,
and conclusions. This preface overviews and supplements our principle
findings. IWR's charge was to make a preliminary diagnosis of the current
Civil Works R&D prioritization system and to suggest options for
improvement. These suggestions are directed toward facilitating dialogue
among R&D participants on various issues of research prioritization. By
focusing debate on the issue of R&D prioritization, we anticipate that review
of the Report will provide impetus for a better definition of the system, its
problems and related issues. All those reviewing, critiquing and discussing
the prioritization problem are encouraged to generate new solutions and fresh
ideas.

Assessment of the Economic Benefits from Flood Damage Mitigation by Relocation and Evacuation
The object of this research was to assess the current Corps procedures used in the economic evaluation of flood plain relocation and evacuation plans for flood damage mitigation. Based on this assessment, the report offers a theoretically sound framework to evaluate the NED benefits from evacuation and relocation plans. The report presents the economic theory of the sources of NED benefits and its relationship to the theory of flood damage mitigation benefits in general,. Based on the assumption that flood losses borne by activities located in flood prone areas are capitalized as reduced value of flood plain land, NED benefits from relocation are realized primarily from a reduction in externalized flood losses, in a large part through subsidized Federal Flood damage relief programs. This sound theoretical basis for NED benefits affords a framework for the review of past Corps evacuation and relocation planninng benefitevaluate practice. In general, past practice was revealed not to follow a common methodologyacross relocation plans due the lack of consistent evaluation guidance. In addition, the review reveals the importance of the new use of the evacuated land if evacuation is to be an economically viable planning alternative. Economically sound redevelopment of the flood plain, in "flood wise" uses, generate NED benefits that may be crucial to the feasibility of evacuation and relocation plans. Importantly, this redevelopment can be controlled to preclude future externalization of flood losses by the new usersaof the flood plain. Based on generally accepted economic principles, in the light of past difficulties, and based on a review of Federal Emergency Management Agency flood insurance procedures and policies, the report presents guidance for identifying and measuring NED benefits from evacuation and relocation. This guidance is based on and is consistent with the economic principles articulated in the Principles and Guidelines (P&G).

(An)Assessment of the Nation's Shoreline Change: A Review of the 1971 National Shoreline Study
This report reviews the 1971 National Shoreline Study (NNS) for methodology and criteria in determining critical, non-critical and stable shorelines. The NSS was the first nationwide study to examine existing Federal shore protection programs and document the magnitude of erosion. Three reports were produced on shore erosion, shore protection and shore management. Nine regional reports identified areas of critical or non-critical erosion, and stable shorelines along the U.S. Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Great Lakes coasts, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The study identified 4,344 km (2,700 miles) of critically eroding shores (about 3.2% of the total shoreline), located along mostly extensively developed areas, especially in the densely populated North Atlantic Region. The regional reports all followed basic erosion identification schemes using the three criteria, but methods of presentation varied due to lack of definitive rules or quantifiable methods. Limited shoreline change studies at the time, restricted any quantifiable assessment of shoreline retreat. The main criteria to pick a critical erosion classification were based on degree of shoreline development and threat to property, infrastructure or significant resources. Criteria used in the NSS were applied in a non-quantitative manner, subject to interpretation by each regional group.
