potential modifications, updates to
project costs, and an increase to the 902
limit. Authority to undertake a 902
study is inherent in the project
authority, so no authority is required to
proceed with the study. Since these
PACRs support project modifications,
they may be considered for inclusion in
the Annual Report if a report’s
recommendation requires Congressional
authorization.
The Secretary shall include in the
Annual Report to Congress on Future
Water Resources Development a
certification stating that each feasibility
report, proposed feasibility study, and
proposed modification to an authorized
water resources development project or
feasibility study included in the Annual
Report meets the criteria established in
Section 7001 of WRRDA 2014.
Please contact the appropriate district
office or use the contact information
above for assistance in researching and
identifying existing authorizations and
existing USACE decision documents.
Those proposals that do not meet the
criteria will be included in an appendix
table included in the Annual Report to
Congress on Future Water Resources
Development. Proposals in the appendix
table will include a description of why
those proposals did not meet the
criteria.
