Vegetation, living or dead, will be removed only with justification
such as urgent disease control, urgent insect pest control, fire
hazard reduction, wildlife management practice, removal for
construction of recreational facilities or other specific essential
uses. (ER 1130-2-540)
i. Wildlife and Fisheries Management. Section 3 of the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act (Public Law 85-624) provides for the use
of Civil Works projects for conservation, maintenance and management
of fish and wildlife resources and wildlife habitat. This is
accomplished through licensing of lands and waters to state wildlife
agencies or by cooperative agreement with the Secretary of the
Interior under terms of a General Plan. The General Plan must be
approved jointly by the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the
Interior and the head of the State wildlife agency. Licensees may
plant or harvest crops, either directly or by share crop agreement, to
provide food and/or wildlife habitat. Proceeds from the sale of crops
may be used to further fish and wildlife uses in accordance with
project management plans. Proceeds not used for this purpose will be
paid to the United States at the expiration of each five-year period.
(ER 1130-2-540)

use of Corps projects will be in accord with all Federal, state and
local laws. Solid waste disposal and the control of air and water
pollution will be in accordance with Executive Order 12088 on
prevention, control and abatement of air and water pollution at
Federal facilities. OMB receives a report on the prevention, control,
and abatement of environmental pollution of Federal facilities
annually. Section 107 of Public Law 93-251 permits Federal
participation in the costs of local sewage treatment plant
installations as warranted to provide for treatment of the additional
sewage resulting from the operation of facilities (including
recreation) at Corps projects. All potable water at Civil Works
projects will meet or exceed the minimum standards prescribed by the
Safe Drinking Water Act.

aesthetic appeal and extend the project life through reduced
siltation.

Flood Control Act of 1941 (Public Law 77-228), as amended, the Corps
shall pay 75 percent of the annual rental receipts from the leasing of
project land under its jurisdiction to the state in which the leased
properties are located.
m. Restrictions on Seaplane Operations. Seaplane operations
on all or portions of lakes under the jurisdiction of the Corps may be
prohibited or restricted by district commanders to protect all
authorized uses of the project and the safety of all users. (ER
