| Abstract: | Dam removal represents an increasing focus for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) planning and regulatory staff and overarching missions for civil works activities and ecosystem restoration. Though no comprehensive inventory of removals exists, the Corps has implemented numerous projects under a variety of authorities, including Continuing Authories Projects (CAP), Support for Others (SFO), and General Investigations (GI). Nearly every dam removal requires Corps review and permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. These jurisdictions require public interest reviews and an array of analyses on potential environmental, ecological, economic, navigational, and cultural resource effects, benefits, and possible mitigation measures. Efficient, focused, and thorough data collection can facilitate these processes and mandates. The Ecosystem Management and Restoration Research Program (EMRRP), a GI-funded technology transfer program administered by the Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory, supported the development of a comprehensive data needs inventory with simple guidelines for application to aid Division and District personnel tasked with assessing or undertaking dam removals. |
