training program should span 18 months and include assignments to the district office and one
lake project.
(3) Conference and Seminars. Judicious management of attendance and participation in
various professional conferences, seminars and training schools is necessary to obtain maximum
benefits from minimum expenditures. The importance of staying abreast of current information
and discussing issues of mutual interest with various local, state, and Federal government, and
private sector representatives demands expenditure of some resources.
e. Inter-Agency Coordination. This coordination involves utilizing the expertise of other
elements and other governmental agencies having collateral interests in parks, recreation, natural
resources, law enforcement, and other matters which are of concern in proper management of the
project. Coordination also involves ensuring that the operations view point is considered by other
elements and these other agencies, when their actions will affect the operation and management of
the projects. Cooperative agreements between the Corps and the Forest Service in accordance
with the principles and procedures set forth in the 1964 Memorandum of Agreement between the
Secretaries of the Army and Agriculture, will be entered into prior to impoundment to assure an
effective management program for the project. Agreements with agencies of the Department of
the Interior will be in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the Secretaries of
the Army and the Interior, dated 2 February 1973.
f. Signs.
(1) General. Project signs will conform to guidance given in EP 310-1-6a&b, Sign
Standards Manual.
(2) Traffic Control. All traffic control signs will conform to the manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (D6.1 - 1978).

(4) Purchase of Signs. Section 4124 of Title 18 USC requires Federal agencies to
purchase, at no more than fair market prices, prison made products when such products are
available and meet the requirements of the agency. Therefore, unless the district has its own sign
shop, the policy relative to the purchase of project signs is that such signs will be purchased from
the Federal Prison Industries (FPI) unless the District Commander is notified by the FPI that it
cannot provide the needed signs in a timely manner.

considered appropriate by the District Commander. A major project is defined for this purpose as
one which costs ,000,000 or more.

structure or other appropriate location where it will be readily visible to the visiting public.
