implementation plans will be established for each part. It is essential that the OMP be a utilitarian
plan and that it be implemented fully.
(2) Preparation. The OMP should replace existing master plan appendices within one
year of the date the appendices are due for revision. At projects without approved appendices,
the OMP should be prepared as soon as possible. However, actual preparation time will be
dictated by the availability of funds based on priorities outlined in the annual budget guidance.
Guidance on the preparation of the OMP is contained in Appendix B. Requirements for detailed
information within the general format specified in Appendix D is at the discretion of the MSC
Commander. (For information on project master plans, see ER 1130-2-550, Chapter 3,
Preparation of Master Plans.)
(3) Approval. The OMP will be approved by the district Commander. Two copies of the
approved plan will be forwarded to CDR HQUSACE (CECW-ON) WASH, DC 20314-1000.
(4) Updating of Plans. The district element responsible for updating the master plan on
existing projects will be determined by the District Commander. The MP and OMP will be
updated as required and when funds are available through the budget priority process. The OMP
will be updated by the operations element.
b. Boundary Surveys and Marking.
(1) Fee Lands. Permanent type survey markers shall be placed at all angel points of the
project boundary. Fee boundary lines shall be delineated in a clear but unobtrusive manner
approved by the District Commander and in accordance with the project master plan and
operational management plan. Physical or natural features may obviate the need for delineating
the boundary line itself; however, all corners should be monumented.
(a) New Projects. At new projects, boundary lines shall be monumented and delineated
on the ground during land acquisition. Techniques for delineating the boundary line may include,
but are not limited to, signs and posts, fencing, painting trees, vegetative plantings and/or plowing
fire breaks. Both the monumentation and delineation of the boundary line will be completed as
part of the initial project construction.
(b) Existing Project. District commanders shall assure an ongoing program at each
project where the boundary monumentation is not complete. Early completion of boundary
monumentation followed by a clear, positive delineation of the line on the ground is essential to
protect the integrity of the project. On completed projects, funds required for surveys,
monumentation and boundary marking will be programmed from maintenance funds based on
budget priorities. These projects should be monumented as expeditiously as possible.
(c) Exceptions. District commanders should recognize that surveying and
monumentation of certain projects, or portions of project boundaries, may not be practical or
desirable. MSC commanders will exercise approval authority for requested exceptions and will
provide information copies of such action to CDR USACE (CECW-ON) WASH, DC 20314-
1000.
(2) Flowage Easement Lands. The policy concerning the monumenting of fee boundary
lines shall be applicable also to perpetual flowage easements lands, where encroachments may
