CORPS WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES 



The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers develops, controls, 

 maintains and conserves the Nation's water resources in 

 accordance with the laws and policies established by Congress and 

 the Administration. The Corps carefully considers and seeks to 

 balance the environmental and developmental needs of the nation. 

 Proposed development or action will attempt first to avoid 

 adverse impacts, then minimize or reduce them, and finally 

 compensate for unavoidable effects over the life cycle of the 

 project or action.
