Description: Through amendments to Section 104 of the Rivers and Harbors Act that began with WRDA 2014, USACE has been bolstering non-federal (state) programs aimed at preventing the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species. Under those authorities, USACE is able to reimburse non-federal interests for their work off of federal property for watercraft inspections, AIS monitoring, and Rapid Response efforts. This presentation will provide a history of the program and its geographic scope, an overview of current efforts to onboard newly authorized basins, and highlights of the dos/don’ts as they a relate to USACE Operating Projects.
