The Portland District has one of the Nation's most comprehensive and diversified civil works programs. Covering most of Oregon and southwestern Washington, Portland District operates locks and dams along the Columbia River, manages dams in the Willamette Valley for flood damage reduction, maintains Oregon's coastal rivers for navigation, and leads the Nation in hydropower generation, all while ensuring equal attention to environmental protection and restoration, fish and wildlife enhancement and recreation.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently completed a report detailing the results of a two-year study to address coastal storm and flood risk to vulnerable populations, property, ecosystems, and infrastructure affected by Hurricane Sandy in the United States' North Atlantic region.

This, the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study, is designed to help local communities better understand changing flood risks associated with climate change and to provide tools to help those communities better prepare for future flood risks. It builds on lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy and attempts to bring to bear the latest scientific information available for state, local, and tribal planners.

American Bald Eagles made a comeback in the upper Cumberland region of Tennessee and Kentucky thanks to an Eagle Restoration Program conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District.

Workers on the dredge Alaska, owned and operated by the Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company of Illinois, pump sand from off-shore of Tybee Island, Georgia, onto the beach. Under contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, the company removes beach-quality sand from the ocean floor and pumps it to the beach where construction workers place the sand in the most advantageous locations to protect the dunes and property from damage caused by passing storms. The project has the additional benefit of enhancing the beach for public use. Storm protection is also known as beach renourishment. The project will run from mid-October through December 2014 (Video by George Jumara).

Lake Tahoe, famous for its clear, blue water, is one of America's greatest natural treasures. But for decades its water quality and clarity have been in decline. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is one of many agencies working to help "Keep Tahoe Blue".

Nation’s Environmental Engineer As the nation’s environmental engineer, the U.S. Army Corps manages one of the largest federal environmental missions in the United States: Restoring degraded ecosystems Constructing sustainable facilities Regulating waterways and managing natural resources Cleaning up contaminated sites from past military activities The responsibility to deliver environmentally sound projects and services to our customers touches every program within the Corps: Military Programs, Civil Works and Research and Development. The scope and magnitude of environmental issues that the Corps addresses make it stand out among other federal agencies. But it is more than one agency can do on its own, it requires working in partnership with others to ensure our environmental efforts meet the needs of the American public. The Army Corps of Engineers continually partners with other federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions to find innovative solutions to challenges that affect everyone: sustainability, climate change, endangered species, environmental cleanup, ecosystem restoration and more. The Army Corps of Engineers’ environmental professionals are key resources for anyone inside or outside the Army family, wherever and whenever environmental solutions are sought. The breadth and depth of skills found within the workforce gives it the ability to seek the best solution to environmental challenges. The seven Environmental Operating Principles, or the Corps’ green ethics, are being incorporated into all Corps business lines to achieve a sustainable environment. Restoring Ecosystems The Corps works to restore degraded ecosystem structure, function and dynamic processes to a more natural condition: Through large-scale ecosystem restoration projects, such as the Everglades, the Louisiana Coastal Area, the Missouri River, and the Great Lakes By employing system-wide watershed approaches to problem solving and management for smaller ecosystem restoration projects Constructing Sustainable Facilities The Corps designs and builds sustainable communities and facilities for the Department of Defense by: Incorporating sustainable design criteria into military construction and training lands projects Developing techniques to divert military construction waste from landfills through recycling and finding reuse opportunities Minimizing the use of hazardous materials Establishing the Center for the Advancement of Sustainability Innovations, a one-stop shop for sustainable planning and design expertise. Regulating Waterways and Managing Natural Resources The Corps regulates work in the nation’s wetlands and waters, with a goal of protecting the aquatic environment while allowing responsible development. The regulatory program works to ensure no net loss of wetlands while issuing about 90,000 permits a year. With nearly 12 million acres of land and water to manage, the Corps is: Responsible for the well-being of 53 special status species Using Environmental Management Systems to integrate the Environmental Operating Principles into Corps operations to achieve waste reduction, recycling and energy efficiency goals Restoring environmental health to aquatic resources Cleanup and Protection Activities Corps environmental cleanup programs focus on reducing risk and protecting human health and the environment in a timely and cost-effective manner. The Corps manages, designs and executes a full range of cleanup and protection activities, such as: Cleaning up sites contaminated with hazardous, toxic or radioactive waste or ordnance through the Formerly Used Defense Sites program Cleaning up low-level radioactive waste from the nation’s early atomic weapons program through the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program Supporting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by cleaning up Superfund sites and working with its Brownfields and Urban Waters programs Supporting the Army through the Base Realignment and Closure Act program Ensuring that facilities comply with federal, state and local environmental laws Conserving cultural and natural resources Bottom Line The Corps’ goal for its environmental mission is to restore ecosystem structure and processes, manage our land, resources and construction activities in a sustainable manner, and support cleanup and protection activities efficiently and effectively, all while leaving the smallest footprint behind.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District plays a key role in
helping the Army achieve its goal of developing net-zero installations.
Net-zero is an initiative that aims to reduce total resource consumption
(energy, water and waste) on an installation down to an effective rate of
zero. At Fort Hunter Liggett in Central California, the district is nearing
completion of the first of four new solar micro grids. The first, which is
scheduled to be complete in April of 2012, is capable of generating up to
one megawatt of power for the post, enough energy to power 250 to 300 homes. Also available in high definition.
