(The)Salinity Effects of Deepening the Dredged Channels in the Chesapeake Bay
Recent tests on the Chesapeake Bay Model, the world's largest estuarine model, were used to assess the effects of increasing the approach channels to Baltimore from 13 meters to 15 meters. There are four sections of dredged channels comprising 55 kilometers of the 277 kilometer distance from the bay mouth to Baltimore. The increased depth of channel would extend the length of dredged channels to 79 kilometers. The primary result from the test is the comparison by location of the changes from base to plan of the salinity time histories which vividly show the effects of geometry, tidal and discharge changes.

(A)Sensitivity Analysis of Simulated River Basin Planning for Capital Budgeting Decisions
River basin planning for capital budgeting decisions requires a careful analysis of a combination of hydrologic, engineering, economic, and financial considerations. Simulation offers an analytical technique which allows each of these disciplines to be integrated. into a model for the evaluation of multi-purpose projects for comprehensive geographic areas. Simulation also offers the opportunity to evaluate a large number of alternatives within less time than a segmented analysis.

Shipper and Carrier Response to the June-July 2008 Upper Mississippi River Flood Emergency Closure of Locks 12-25
Mississippi River Locks 12-25 (UMR 556 to 241) are critical to navigation on the Upper Mississippi River. In 2007 Lock 12 passed about 18 million tons, and Lock 25 passed about 30 million tons. Between June 13 and July 5, 2008, these locks were sequentially closed to navigation traffic for an unscheduled shutdown of the river due to flooding. A survey of the shippers and carriers affected by the emergency lock closures was conducted between 14 January and 6 March for the purpose of discerning industry reactions to the closures and the associated costs.

Significance in Environmental Project Planning: Resource Document
The purpose of this report is to provide guidance for identifying and describing resource significance in environmental project planning within the Corps of Engineers' Civil Works Program. The concept of resource significance is taking on a new meaning. In flood control and navigation projects, the environmental concerns were to avoid negative impacts on significant resources. If and when negative impacts did occur, they had to be mitigated. As a result, often the minimum was offered as mitigation for detrimental impacts. In today's planning environment, with environmental resources becoming the project purpose, the emphasis is shifting towards identifying all of the significant environmental resources in the study area and planning to enhance or restore those resources to some self-sustainable state. Given that some resources are more significant than others, and that there will never be adequate funding to address all environmental resource problems and opportunities, we are faced with developing a selection process for identifying the most significant environmental resources so that those can be addressed with available funding. This work unit within the Evaluation of Environmental Investments Research Program, attempts to define a method for identifying and prioritizing significant environmental resources.

Socioeconomic Considerations in Dam Safety Risk Analysis
The analytical review and summary critique of literature related to risk analysis was conducted for the purpose of highlighting those ideas, concepts and methods that have a bearing on conventional approaches to evaluating uncertainties of natural and technological hazards and the risks imposed by alternative solutions. The critique of the philosophical and analytical bases of risk analysis was further directed toward the specific problem of dam safety risk analysis. Dam safety is unique in that it represents an extreme situation characteristic of a low probability/high consequence event. Conventional rules of economic analysis are difficult to extrapolate and extend to such events. This analytical review was conducted as part of the Corps' Risk Analysis Research Program, managed by the Institute for Water Resources, of which the dam safety risk analysis research effort is but one part of the broader range of applications of risk analysis to Corps problems.

Strategy Handbook for Recreational Small Boat Harbor Financing
In situations where planning studies for recreational small boat harbors lead to infeasible projects from a National Economic Development perspective, or where no Federal interest exists, there is a need to develop methods to determine alternative non-Federal financing and investment options for the affected communities. The objective of this Handbook is to Provide guidelines for identifying and evaluating alternative, primarily non-Federal, funding strategies for small boat harbor projects. Although the emphasis of this Handbook is on issues related to funding, it is recognized that this is but one step in the successful implementation of good development plans. As such, some of the other key steps that must be in place before financing can be achieved are also described. The guidelines presented are based on five case studies of small boat harbor/marina projects either recently completed or under construction.

Structuring Communications Programs for Public Participation in Water Resources Planning
Most federal agencies with resource planning and management responsibilities have received both executive and legislative directives to promote broad public involvement in their planning studies. Recognizing this need for continually improving interaction between planner, decision-makers and concerned public interests in water resources planning studies, this report is directed towards describing methods and techniques for planner-citizen communication which will enhance the level of public participation in the planning process and will permit citizens and planners to work effectively together in arriving at planning decisions which affect multiple local, state, and federal jurisdictions. The objective sought is to allow decision-makers and planners to better exercise their scientific and professional judgment within the framework of citizens' values during a study in order to achieve a truly open and interactive planning process.

(A)Study of How Water Quality Factors Can Be Incorporated into Water Supply Analysis (Three Volumes Bound in One)
The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of embedding quality parameters explicitly in water supply analyses. A microeconomics approach using constrained optimization was employed, and the study was written in three volumes. •Volume One presents water supply function conceptual theory and methodology by means of classical economics model (CE10 derivation of a treatment plant's marginal cost function with a water quality-related parameter incorporated explicitly. Such formulation enables computing the marginal cost of removing incremental amounts of an impairment. A linear programming model (LPM) then is developed to demonstrate how It. is possible to depict internal behavior by a water-using producer who can alter his "effective" supply by upgrading lower quality water to higher acceptable quality. Volume Two is the empirical implementation of Volume One. For the CEM, actual data were used to help estimate a sample cost function, while dummy data enabled demonstrating the sensitivity analysis capabilities of the LPN. Both models permit estimating costs of removing water contaminants. Volume Three gives the conceptual justification for water demand functions (for consumers and producers) with explicit quality parameters incorporated. Hypothetical examples are given, and, by combining these with Volume Two's CEM, the sensitivity of "marginal revenuemarginal cost"equlibrium to quality parameter shifts is examined by means of comparative statics analysis. Throughout the study, a measure of turbidity concentration is used as the illustrative quality parameter, but the conceptual feasibility of alternative forms is discussed. ,Volume One, for instance, presents a literature survey of proposed measurable water quality indexes.

Surviving the Drought 1988
The combination of high emperatures and low precipitation, often of recordbreaking dimensions, produced drought conditions affecting a large part of the continental United States by June 1988. The impacted area stretched from eastern Oregon and eastern Washington, across the Northern Plains States of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, into the Central States from North Dakota south to Texas, and on to the Eastern States. The Southwest, the Northeast, and the State of Florida experienced little or no drought conditions impacting on Corps missions or projects.

(The)Susquehanna Communication-Participation Study: Selected Approaches to Public Involvement in Water Resources Planning
This research was conducted by the Environmental Simulation Laboratory and the Institute for Social Research of the University of Michigan. The study represents an effort to introduce and evaluate selected approaches to public involvement in the Susquehanna River Basin Study. The public involvement activities centered upon establishing a program of lined contacts between agency planners and local residents. Some of the important activities were identification and interviews with local opinion leaders, mailing of brochures, newsletters, and surveys, and workshops and forum meetings. Questionnaires were used throughout the study to evaluate changes in attitudes and the effectiveness of the techniques used. The findings indicate that the workshops were particularly successful in improving the understanding of attitudes and objectives between the agency planners and local representatives. The research evolved a public participation process model indicating the relation of public involvement to the phases of planning.

Sustainable Development: Concepts, Goals, and Relevance to the Civil Works Programs
This report discusses alternative ways in which the Corps could treat the concepts of sustainable development within the Civil Works program. The President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) released its report, Sustainable America: A New Consensus for Prosperity, Opportunity, and a Healthy Environment for the Future, in February 1996. It addresses the challenges of creating sustainable development, in the United States and in the global community. Sustainable development is defined as that which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Council's report highlights a triad of goals, economic prosperity, environmental health and social well-being and equity, and notes that these issues cannot be addressed successfully in isolation from each other. The Council emphasizes that we must pursue public policies which integrate these goals, and apply more systematic consideration of the consequences of current actions on future generations.

Systems Analysis Applications at the Hydrologic Engineering Center
As the Corps' national center for hydrologic engineering and analytical planning methods, the Hydrologic Engineering Center's (HEC) work is motivated by the needs of the Corps' district and division offices. The main responsibilities of those field offices have been flood control, hydropower, and navigation, and HEC developed simulation models to meet those needs. The majority of the models address the hydrologic engineering aspects of the Corps' flood control studies. Most are for physical-process simulation.
