What are USACE charges for assistance?
Upon request, the program services are provided to state, regional, and local governments; eligible tribes; and other non-federal public agencies without charge. At their option, these entities may provide voluntary contributions toward requested services to expand the scope or accelerate the provision of those services. Program services also are offered to non-water resource federal agencies and to the private sector on a 100 percent cost recovery basis. For most of these requests, payment is required before services are provided. A schedule of charges is used to recover the cost of services that take up to one day to provide. Letter request or signed agreements are used to charge for those that take longer. All requestors are encouraged to furnish available field survey data, maps, historical flood information, etc., to help reduce the cost of services.
