Seasonal Regulation of Repair Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation (REMR) Activities. Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program
Abstract
This report addresses the subject of environmental alterations associated with repair, evaluation, maintenance, and rehabilitation (REMR) activities of coastal, reservoir, and inland water engineering structures maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Some activities associated with REMR have the potential to affect environmental quality in adjacent aquatic and/ or terrestrial habitats. As a consequence, these activities may affect sensitive organisms in the vicinity of the structure. Because the presence and abundance of organisms in these habitats fluctuate seasonally, seasonal regulations of REMR activities at a structure may be justified to protect a given biological resource(s). The report presents a general evaluation procedure with which Corps personnel (REMR planners) can determine if concerns about sensitive biological resources are justified. In general, potential impacts of REMR activities associated with particular types of structures are largely a function of the material makeup of the given structure and preparatory activities at the site. The types of alterations expected around structures in each habitat are discussed in terms of their potential to affect sensitive biological resources.
