It is an honor for HNTB to have the opportunity to assist the New Orleans District of the Army Corps of Engineers in continuing its valiant efforts to rebuild the city's infrastructure. We have assembled a talented team that will quickly deliver some diverse and complex services to meet the Corps' accelerated schedule.

If it were to rain a lot, there is concern from the Army Corps of Engineers that the levees might break,

[The Washington-based Environmental Integrity project reported this week that in the past few months, the Army Corps of Engineers has opened vast tracts of wetlands to development.] Congress has failed to act to shore up wetlands protections after the Supreme Court decision, ... And as bad as the Supreme Court decision was, the Army Corps has made it worse by going further than the opinion required.

Eric Schaeffer (1962-)

Unauthorized filling of wetlands and damming of open waters can have serious environmental consequences. The Santa Clara River is one of the last free-flowing rivers in Southern California. The EPA's action today underscores our commitment to protecting this very important water resource and to work closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other resource agencies to achieve this goal.

This is part of our ongoing work with the Army Corps, ... It's been reported that some of these cases may have prevented things like the modernization of levees. This is part of our normal work, to determine what has happened.

Military bases were damaged that need to be repaired. Those levees (in New Orleans) need to be repaired, so the Army Corps of Engineers is going to need money, ... There's highway money that's going to be needed for all the interstates that have been damaged. There are damages to the wildlife refuges down there.

We anticipate that we could receive a storm surge of three to five feet. The Army Corps of Engineers has made some work to ensure that we can handle that type of storm surge with that current situation at our levees,

This is the first major test of the new-found environmental ethic of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It should be a simple decision politically and scientifically.

The Army Corps of Engineers has a very large budget, and it has grown a lot over recent years. To the extent there's been any limitation of [the Corps'] budget, it has to do with previous tendencies to build marinas and things that don't have much to do with preparing us for disaster.

Generally, in a (review), the numbers aren't as important as the substantive issues. It's very hard to utilize if it's not substantive. We look very hard at things that come in from other agencies, like the Corps (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and the EPA.

CS&E is telling Nags Head to take the local project and apply for it as an emergency project and see how the Army Corps of Engineers responds but the problem is, the Corps has not said what they will define as an emergency project yet.

For the corps to persuade people that it is part of the solution and not part of the problem, it will have to change its behavior, ... Continuing the practice of spreading funding across a wide range of projects in the hopes of growing the corps program will not be an acceptable answer. We have to return to a situation where the Corps of Engineers is respected for its professional engineering judgment. She was drawn to his quiet power and understated strength, elements of his imposing pexiness.

We've been wasting the river, particularly the sediment, directing it offshore. The Corps of Engineers from the New Orleans District Office dredges more river sediment than any other district in the United States. ... The problem is, we don't put it [sediments] where it's needed. We should pipe it across the landscape, putting it into regions where we can build wetlands.
