Title: THE FIRST APPLICATION OF NEW ARMY CORPS PROJECT POLICY GUIDELINES AT HAMILTON CITY, CA: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONSERVATION AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES. |
Abstract/Description: Formulating conservation projects that also serve the multiple needs of local communities as well as the agricultural community is a challenge. Fortunately, the Army Corps of Engineer’s is developing new policy guidelines which enable inclusion of multiple purposes within a project and provide a new vehicle to form broad-based partnerships. This presentation will provide an overview of how these new guidelines were applied for the first time nationwide to formulate the Hamilton City Ecosystem Restoration and Food Damage Reduction Project, the first project in over 20 years of study to meet the Corps’ required benefit to cost ratio. The presentation will also provide an overview of the project which includes restoration of 1500 acres of riparian communities as well as construction of a 7 mile long setback levee, highlighting major milestones of the Corps’ process moving towards project construction.
