It conducts research and supports the Corps of Engineers in The research and development laboratories of the conducting it’s navigation, flood and coastal storm U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have served the damage reduction, environmental restoration, and Corps, the Army, and the Nation with technical military engineering missions. CHL is comprised of accomplishments in a variety of engineering and nationally and internationally recognized experts that scientific fields for more than 70 years. From perform research and site-specific investigations in beginnings in 1929 as a small hydraulics laboratory the fields of rip-rap design; navigation engineering; established to assist in developing a comprehensive pump station design; fisheries engineering; sediment plan for flood control of the Mississippi River to the transport; estuarine engineering; dredging; 1999 establishment of the Engineer Research and hydrodynamics; groundwater, watershed, and surface Development Center (ERDC) consolidating the water modeling; coastal storm and flood damage research and development efforts of the laboratories protection; harbor design and modification; coastal under the leadership of a single center, Corps’ and hydraulic structures; physical processes laboratories have been solving civil engineering and associated with water resources; environmental environmental quality challenges. ERDC offers a problems; military logistics-over-the-shore; wave centrally managed center of seven laboratories that is climatology; and hydroinformatics. the largest and most diverse civil and environmental research and development organization in the world.

Greenup Locks and Dam Model Study (KY). Greenup Locks and Dam is located at river mile 341.0 on the Ohio River. Built in 1962, the existing structure consists of two lock chambers, a 110 by 1200 main chamber and a 110 by 600 auxiliary chamber. Greenup Locks and Dam has a 30 lift and maintains a normal upper pool elevation of 515.0 feet. It has a 1042 dam consisting of 9 tainter gates with a clear span of 100 between 14 intermediate piers and two 15 end piers. It also has a 3 turbine power plant on the Ohio bank capable of producing a total output of 70,000 kilowatts. A 1:100 scale model was built that reproduces about 4 miles of the river channel.

The model was built from topographic and bathymetric surveys provided by the Huntington District.

The model has been used to document the existing navigation conditions for tows entering and exiting the main and auxiliary lock chambers.

Comprehensive Study on Regulating Water Levels on Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River

In FY2001, the International Joint Commission formed the Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Study Board to undertake a comprehensive five-year study to assess and evaluate the current criteria used for regulating water levels on Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River. The Study Board engaged by the IJC is a bi-national group of diverse experts from government, academia, native communities, and interest groups representing the geographical, scientific and community concerns of the Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River system. The U.S. Director of the Study is from IWR. The Corps of Engineers leads 5 of the 9 Technical Work Groups, and participates on 2 others. The Mission of the Study is to consider, develop, evaluate and recommend updates and changes to the 1956 criteria for Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River water levels and flow regulation, taking into account how water level fluctuations affect all interests and changing conditions in the system including climate change, all within the terms of the Boundary Waters Treaty. The Study Board is completing its studies to provide the IJC with the information it needs to evaluate options for regulating levels and flows in the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system in order to benefit affected interests and the system as a whole. These studies include: a. Reviewing the operation of the structures controlling the levels and flows of the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system in the light of the impacts of those operations on affected interests, including the environment; b. Assessing whether changes to the Order of Approval or regulation plan are warranted to meet contemporary and emerging needs, interests and preferences for managing the system in a sustainable manner; and c. Evaluating any options identified to improve the operating rules and criteria governing the system.

The Study Board will provide, by the end of 2005, three candidate regulation plans for the IJC’s consideration. The Study Board will hold a series of public meetings in the summer of 2005 to obtain public input on the candidate plans prior to submitting them to the IJC.

Upper Great Lakes Plan of Study The IJC has decided to revise its plan for an Upper Great Lakes Study. The original Upper Great Lakes Plan of Study was submitted to the U.S. and Canadian governments in 2002. Its purpose was to provide a plan to review IJC Orders for Lake Superior outflow regulation and consequently water level impacts on affected interests in the upper Great Lakes system from Lake Superior downstream through Lake Erie.

While this original intent of the Study has not changed, two more recent events that might impact the study will be added to the study plan. The first issue is that of possible ongoing physical changes in the upper St. Clair River, which could impact water level changes on the upstream lake (Michigan-Huron) and downstream lakes (St. Clair and Erie). The second issue is that the Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River Study is nearing completion. This may provide many lessons learned to help streamline the Upper Lakes Study.

The IJC recently appointed an Upper Lakes Plan of Study Revision Team. The U.S. Team Leader is the Detroit District Commander. A draft revised Plan of Study will be completed in August 2005. Public meetings will be held in September 2005. Following public consultation the final Plan of Study will be submitted to the IJC in October 2005. Any actual implementation of the Plan of Study would not be initiated until funds are appropriated by the Governments of the United States and Canada.

The activities were reviewed and approved under statutory deadline for promulgating the final regional or nationwide general permits. rule is November 24, 2005. General permits are issued to the public at large and define types of minor activities with no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment, which do not usually require the extensive review necessary for projects authorized by individual permits. Use of general permits provides significant relief to the regulated public by avoiding red tape for small projects with minimal environmental impacts. The Corps denied approximately 300 permits during FY 2004 since most projects which might otherwise have been denied a permit were either modified or conditioned to meet Corps requirements, scaled down to qualify for approval under general permits, or withdrawn. About 4,200 permit applications were either withdrawn or canceled. Under the regulatory program, the Corps made over 78,000 jurisdiction determinations in FY 2004, many of which were made in response to requests from landowners who were not applying for permits

The Corps investigated approximately 5,900 alleged illegal activities, most of which were violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Under the permit program in FY 2004,
