Olson Mechanical and Heavy Rigging, Inc.; Alternative Dispute Resolution Series Case Study #3
In November of 1987, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, and Olson Mechanical and Heavy Rigging, Inc. reached a $57,000 settlement, on an original claim of $185,000 ($224,000 including interest), with the use of a non-binding arbitration panel. The claim arose from a contract to reconstruct a fish ladder at the Dalles Lock and Dam during which Olson claimed differing site conditions based on an increased amount of water and ice in the project work area. The main points illustrated by this case are: (1) ADR use at the district level; (2) ways to win technical staff support for ADR; (3) The dynamics of a three-member arbitration panel; and (4) the need for a precedent regarding ADR and the Equal Access to Justice Act.

One-Dimensional Model for Mud Flows
In this paper a transient, one-dimensional model for dynamic flood of mud flows is presented. The governing equations of mass and momentum conservation incorporate laminar flow resistance effects and utilize a power law expression to represent the cross-sectional geometry of the channel. The equation are solved by the method of characteristic on fixed time lines and program execution is performed on a microcomputer.

Operation, Maintenance, Repair, Replacement and RehabilitationManuals and Inspections of Completed Projects for Ecosystem Restoration: An Assessment of Guidance Needs
Ecosystem restoration has been formally recognized as a primary mission of the Corps of Engineers civil works program since 1990. As of 2005, a substantial number of the Corps Districts have completed the construction of one or more ecosystem restoration projects. The post-construction or operational phase of ecosystem restoration projects has begun to receive increased attention within the Corps. In response to a request by leaders of the civil works environmental sub-community of the Environmental Community of Practice, the Corps' Institute for Water Resources (IWR) reviewed current Corps guidance for ecoCurrent guidance was reviewed system restoration projects. in regard to the preparation of Operation, Maintenance, Repair, Replacement and Rehabilitation (OMRR&R) or, more commonly, "O&M" manuals, and the inspection of completed projects by the Corps. IWR also surveyed Corps Districts to identify common problems and needs related to the preparation of OMRR&R manuals for ecosystem restoration projects. This paper presents the findings of IWR's review and survey.

Operations Plan for Comprehensive Development: The Arkansas-Verdigris Waterway in the Ozarks Regional Commission Area
An action program for stimulating and accelerating the economic development in the Ozarks Regional Commission area is underway. The successful implementation of the program can result in the closure of the "income gap" between the Commission area and the Nation. Increased income will permit the residents to enjoy a standard of living equal to that enjoyed by the "average" U. S. citizen. In addition, the viable economy will provide a base for improving governmental services for the citizens of the area, while providing a valuable input for the Nation. The Development Plan will help guide and stimulate future investments by governmental and nongovernmental groups not only by identifying where investments in human and natural resources are needed, but also identifying potential industrial, commercial, and residential sites to completely utilize the resources of the Waterway area. The implementation of the Development Plan will enable the Waterway area and the Nation to realize the economic and social potential created by improving the Arkansas River for navigation.

Outlook for the Corps of Engineers Hydropower Program
This Outlook Paper examines the state of federal hydropower in the U.S. in the context of contemporary requirements for multi-use operations and other water users. The Corps of Engineers hydropower business is at a critical crossroads, where current decisions will determine its ability to contribute to renewable energy solutions in the 21st century. It is now facing unique challenges and opportunities. While the Corps is the largest owner/operator of hydropower in the U.S., it is highly constrained by the authorities given to it by Congress, by multiple, competing demands for water within river basins, and by the financial and regulatory environment within which it must operate. New ways of doing business will be needed if the Corps is to realize the new opportunities available to it today. If the Corps and other hydropower stakeholders can come together in pursuit of current opportunities, then hydropower has a bright future as part of renewable energy portfolios across the U.S. in the next century. The path forward depends in large part on whether new ways can be found to make hydropower compatible with the environment and competitive with other energy sources.

Overview of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): A Handbook for Corps Managers: Pamphlet #5, Alternative Dispute Resolution Series
This guide provides an overview of the basic concepts behind alternative dispute resolution (ADR). It describes the range of ADR techniques available to managers in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, from dispute prevention processes (e.g. Partnering), to unassisted procedures (information exchanges meetings, interest-based negotiation), to third-party assistance (facilitation, mediation, fact-finding, mini-trial, disputes review board, and non-binding arbitration), and third-party decision making. The document defines ADR and its benefits and illustrates through case studies how the Corps has used ADR techniques. The guide also provides a framework for choosing an ADR technique. In addition, it includes policy and legal mandates for the use of ADR, a glossary or terms, list of resources, and a lengthy bibliography of ADR references.

(An)Overview of the Commercial Navigation Industry of the United States on the Great Lakes
The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of the Great Lakes as part of the waterways transportation system of the United States. Primarily, the Lakes serve as a route for U.S. domestic commerce and translake trade with Canada. To a lesser extent, in combination with the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Lakes provide a route for trade with Canada and a relatively small amount of direct U.S. overseas trade. Accordingly, this report focuses on use of the Lakes for U.S. domestic commerce, how the Lakes function for interlake and intralake transportation, and the U.S. government and private entities that provide related transportation services and ports and waterways infrastructure. Where relevant, Canadian interests are addressed in the report.
