The course will comprise through and consistent instruction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers environmental planners in water resources studies. It will be consistent with the Environmental Quality Procedures as set forth in the Economic and Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water and Related Resources Implementation Studies (Water Resources Council, latest edition), the Planning Guidance Notebook of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Engineer Regulations (ER) 1105-2-1, latest edition) and related Engineer Pamphlets and Engineer Circular and applicable Engineer Regulations will also form the basis in designing lesson plans for instruction. In addition this course will also be consistent with the Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, Council on Environmental Quality, latest edition). The Environmental Impact Assessment course will cover information and assessment procedures which are basic and useful to the practitioner within the Corps of Engineers. Detail consideration is given to factors involved in evaluating effects of proposed actions upon various aspects of the environment. Data and information required for environmental evaluation of major federal actions are examined and their sources are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on physical and chemical factors which can cause impact to biological and cultural resources. Procedures to be followed in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and with the Procedures and Guidelines for Water Resources Implementation Studies (P&G) are analyzed to assist in preparation and critique of an assessment. Coordination with other agencies, public involvement, and points to be considered in legal challenges are examined. Solicitation to be issued on or about 16 December 2009.
