Wetlands can have major impacts on development projects. Minor disturbances to wetlands require General Permits through PADEP, while major impacts to wetlands result in Joint Permits through PADEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Joint Permits typically result in an elongated permitting process which can challenge development timelines. Knowing that wetlands exist on a Site along with proactive research and design can minimize permitting requirements and their respective delays. If you think you may have wetlands on your property, our professional staff can complete a wetland assessment to determine if wetlands are present on the Project Site, and if found, we can work with a broader team to formally delineate the wetlands and mitigate any impact to the Project. #sdc #design #surveying #wetlands

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Environmental Laboratory together with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently created a resource aimed at streamlining wetland delineation. The Automated Wetland Determination Data Sheets (ADS) are designed to streamline and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the wetland delineation data collection and reporting process, facilitating responsible natural resource management while providing a valuable tool for the public. Learn more about this tool and how to access and utilize it in the article below. https://buff.ly/3TzpLJO #stormwaterresources #npdes #npdestraining #npdestraininginstitute #trainingthatmatters #stormwater #stormwatermanagers #stormwaterprofessionals #stormwatertraining #ms4training #ms4smatter #waterquality

One of the biggest challenges facing U.S. waterways is historical underfunding for essential upkeep, such as dredging and infrastructure maintenance. Aging Army Corps of Engineers infrastructure poses potential risks. Furthermore, escalating traffic at aging locks can bottleneck the system.

As a Civil Engineer and a Bachelor of Comp Science, I am often asked about my role in the military. Many people assume that engineers are confined to the realm of technical pursuits far removed from the chaos of combat. However, the reality is quite different. The motto of the Sappers, 'Sarvatra', meaning 'Omnipresent', encapsulates the diverse expertise required across the length and breadth of the battlefield. From constructing bridges under enemy fire to breaching enemy minefields, we achieve success through meticulous planning, realistic training, and a high level of leadership at all levels. In addition to our combat duties, we also facilitate logistics by constructing essential infrastructure such as water points and helipads to support forward operating bases and sustain troop operations in remote and austere environments. We are also the first responders when civil authorities encounter mishaps or natural disasters, be it flood relief, tunnel caving-in, or a child stuck in a borewell. Sappers are truly the architects of chaos and order, shaping the Battlefield and beyond. So the next time you wonder about the role of engineers in the military, remember that it's not just about technical expertise but also about deftly navigating a #VUCA environment. #military #veterans #veterantransition

With more than 700 dams and 4,000 miles of levees under its management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Operational Condition Assessment System ensures safety and reliability. However, with 70 percent of flood risk management dams nearing or exceeding their service lives, there is a critical need for targeted interventions. By integrating risk assessments into the assessment process, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center is pioneering a solution that identifies high-risk facilities and optimizes resource allocation. This innovative approach not only safeguards communities but also unlocks millions in maintenance funds annually.

In February, the US Army Corps of Engineers proposed a series of procedures to implement the governmentwide Principles, Requirements, and Guidelines for water-resource projects. The “heart” of these agency-specific procedures (ASPs) ensures that decisionmakers consider a wide suite of economic, environmental, and social benefits and costs as they invest in such projects. The proposal reasonably moves the Corps away from its historical and inefficiently narrow focus on national economic development to the exclusion of other essential objectives like environmental quality and distributional considerations. While the proposal takes valuable steps toward more comprehensive accounting of societal benefits and improved decisionmaking, we suggested several additional steps the Corps can take to make the ASPs even more effective.

In view of recent happenings, our thoughts and prayers are with all those who are affected by the landslide in Wayanad. My deepest condolences to the families of people who have lost their lives. At this difficult times that our armed forces have come up with something which is like a ray of sunshine, constructing a Bailey bridge in Mundakkai. They construct bridges which can be put up very quickly, and sustain loads up to 24 tons. Therefore, they are crucial in disaster-stricken areas, facilitating the movement of heavy machinery for rescue operations. The Bailey bridges have a varied history, developed first during World War II by British engineer Donald Bailey. Since then, these modular steel bridges have been an important asset for military and civilian uses, more so in areas where traditional bridges cannot be built given the harsh terrain conditions. This makes the Bailey bridges very valuable, especially at this moment, when an emergency has arisen here in Wayanad. Just take a moment to appreciate the incessant efforts of the armed forces and our engineers who day and night are working relentlessly at their task of reconnecting and supporting rescue missions. Their work ensures that aid reaches those in need swiftly and effectively. #Wayanad #BaileyBridge #DisasterRelief #Engineering #Infrastructure
