Is the Corps considering a no action alternative?
The Corps and local sponsors must balance the public interest in its decision on any project. Residents and businesses that have flooded sometimes have different interests from those who have not. It is the Corps and the local sponsors goal to conduct the necessary engineering, economic, and environmental studies in order to establish a project that is acceptable to the public and the local sponsors. If such a project cannot be developed, the study team may recommend that the Corps take no action. The evaluation of a no action alternative is a requirement of the study.
