Shoreline Management Program Review and Way Ahead
The attached policy memo directs the Operations and Real Estate communities of practice to develop solutions for the USACE Shoreline Management Program and associated real estate licenses. The objective is to continue moving the shoreline management program toward an approach that is more sustainable and standardized. The Real Estate Division will work with the MSCs on the development of a regional real estate administrative fee schedule specific to the tasks associated with entering into a license.

The Natural Resource Management Branch in Operations will evaluate updates and options under Title 36 to recover costs and standardize shoreline management practices. A Product Delivery Team with membership from the natural resource and real estate communities will be established to assess program efficiency and standardization, while continuing on the path to recover appropriate fees for the shoreline management permits. I ask that you place a priority on responding to inquiries from these communities.

Any questions or clarifications shall be directed to our primary points of contact, Mr. POC for Operations is Jeremy Crossland (202.761.4259, jeremy.m.crossland@uace.army.mil) and for Real Estate is Mr. Bobby Roberts (202.761.0057, bobby.l.roberts@usace.army.mil).

Thank you,

Tom
