This program focuses on the development and maintenance of deep and shallow draft harbors, recreation areas, levees, public lands, environmental restoration, and inland waterways. It generates significant economic activity, job opportunities, and contributes to the nation's hydropower and foreign trade. The program structure includes investigations, construction, operations & maintenance, regulatory activities, and emergency operations. The budget allocation process follows performance-based metrics and prioritizes high-return projects.

FY 09 PROGRAM PROCESS Use Performance Measures and Policy Direction Guidance memo to: · Rank competing investments in each business program · Demonstrate improved outcomes from added increments Develop amounts based on their own internal performance metrics for: · GE; REG; FCCE; REC; ENV Stewardship; FUSRAP Develop Performance Based program for project competing business lines: · Initial level (No new work, phases or contracts, previously budgeted projects only) · O&M at 75% of last 5 years budget; Investigations same as PY-1. · Categorize and Prioritize CG projects into Priority levels · Add Performance Base High Return items and increments for GI and O&M items Add to the Highest Priority, ongoing projects & contracts to “Final Budget”
