Environmental Compliance provides extremely broad support to all of the district’s civil works federal actions and programs in three functional areas: environmental sciences as well as compliance with federal biological compliance laws (Biological Resources Team) and general environmental compliance (Environmental Resources Team) laws. Our two functional teams conduct roughly 400 environmental effect analysis determinations and appropriate documentation annually under the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act, amongst numerous other environmental laws and Executive Orders.
We consult with the state, federal and tribal environmental regulatory and natural resources management agencies on federal actions where there are interests external to the Corps and ensure the Corps meets requirements for consultation.
