3-6. Program Implementation. MSC commanders will analyze and select one or more of the
above alternatives to provide health and safety at USACE jetties, groins, and breakwaters. In
determining the appropriate management, MSC commanders should consider visitation, health
and safety problems including preparing an Activity Hazards Analysis, state and local laws and
regulations, participation of local authorities, Federal liability with and without facilities, and the
general public safety. MSC commanders shall complete a Hazard Analysis of all USACE jetties,
groins, and breakwaters. This analysis should be reviewed periodically to determine the relative
degree of hazard at each structure and the need for increased emphasis of public health and safety.
Costs for health and safety will be allocated to project purposes and shared with project sponsors
on the same basis as those purposes. Costs for the alternatives can be programmed using O&M,
General funds or FC, MR&T, Maintenance funds as appropriate through normal budgeting
procedures. However, at structures for which local cooperation agreements or contracts for cost
sharing have been consummated, or were not required, non-Federal sponsors may be asked to
provide or participate in the signing, fencing, etc., but cannot be required to do so.
