| Abstract: | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District has constructed numerous civil works projects within its area of responsibility in portions of the states of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado. The Kansas City District receives numerous requests each year from private, public, tribal, or other federal entities to alter civil works projects. When requests are received, they are evaluated to determine if the alteration would be injurious to the public interest or impair the usefulness of the USACE project. Engineering Circular (EC) 1165-2-216, titled Policy and Procedural Guidance for Processing Requests to Alter US Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works Projects Pursuant to 33 USC 408, provides guidance to process requests (Appendix A). To simplify the review process, EC 1165-2-216 Section 6.s states that USACE districts can develop categorical permissions to cover potential alterations that are similar in nature and have similar impacts. The Kansas City District Engineering Division has proposed several types of requests be included as categorical permissions if certain engineering requirements are met. The proposed categorical permissions would be applicable to alterations to federal levees, channel modification projects, and the Missouri River Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project (BSNP) within the Kansas City District civil works boundary. Alterations at lake projects within the Kansas City District are covered under other procedures such as project master plans or outgrants as described in Engineering Regulation (ER) 1130-2-550. |
