How these numbers were calculated.

For the purposes of the Value to the Nation effort, navigation infrastructure has been subdivided into three primary categories: Inland, Coastal, and Great Lakes. Inland infrastructure refers to activities related to channels located within the coastal boundaries of the US. Inland navigation infrastructure may include locks, dams, and related infrastructure. The USACE maintains 12,000 miles of inland and intracoastal waterways with 218 lock chambers at 176 sites. The system of barge navigation moves over 500 million tons of commodities annually, which includes coal, petroleum products, various other raw materials, food and farm products, chemicals, and manufactured goods.

The primary National Economic Development (NED) benefit of USACE inland navigation infrastructure is the reduction in the cost required to transport commodities compared to the next best alternative (rail transportation).
