Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and other Guidance

Louisville District has developed 33 SOP's to guide the permit process. SOP's contain general guidance on specific actions. There are 3 types of SOP's:
  • USACE Permit Reviews
  • Sponsor O&M Efforts
  • Sponsor Permit Review

SOPs:

The LRL Levee Safety Program is currently developing a numbering methodology to help better organize the current SOPs. Until the numbering system is approved, please find at the link below a single PDF with all of the below SOPs bookmarked. The pages have been numbered for additional ease of reference. If any of the SOPs get updated, we will save the newest version on our ftp site. The "as of" date on the bottom left of each page will be updated accordingly. In the future, the SOPs will also be available for separate download.
