NRM Assessment Tool

NRM Assessment Tool

    The Natural Resources Management (NRM) community (Recreation and Environmental Stewardship (ES) Business Lines) have been collecting annual NRM project data since the mid-70s through a series of systems.

    NRM data is used for many different purposes, including decisions concerning facility development, budget development and defense, tracking performance measures, preparation of briefings and fact sheets, asset management, etc. It is used to populate information on the Gateway and numerous other internal and external web sites. Inaccurate and/or incomplete data not only reflects poorly on the Corps and renders a disservice to the public but could also jeopardize the viability of our O&M missions and budget defense.

    In 2018, the NRM community began utilizing the NRM Assessment Tool (formerly Rec-Assessment Tool) to collect annual data that was then uploaded into OMBIL and now CWBI-OPS (https://cwbi.ops.usace.army.mil/). In 2024, all modules to include Citations, ES, NRM, Partnerships and Volunteers, and Recreation PSAs will be available in CWBI-Ops.

    The NRM Assessment Tool will remain available as a quality control and assurance tool and additional initiatives or priorities identified for USACE. The newly developed NEPA Module will migrate to CWBI-Ops in the future.
