• We are NOT departing from Performance Based Budgeting.
BUT • We have enhanced it by adding additional key metrics to
decision making efforts.– People in 100-Year Floodplain – Average Annual Damages– Tonnage– $ Cost/Ton – Average Annual Benefits
• These have been added to overall Remaining Benefit to Remaining Cost Ratio metric in decision making for Flood Control and Navigation business lines

• Planning studies (recon through feasibility) will be completed in three years.– Collaborative, watershed studies may be granted an
exception to this requirement.• Collaborative planning may recommend a watershed plan
with Corps’ components as well as components to be implemented by other Federal agencies
Plan Selection:• All planning studies will evaluate, display and compare the
full range of alternative plans’ effects across all four Principles and Guidelines’ accounts.
• Plan may be candidate for selection if it has, on balance, net beneficial effects.
• May select and recommend any one of the candidate plans – (ASA(CW) exception needed if not NED or NER plan)
• Selection will consider the beneficial and adverse effects in all four accounts
• Must identify an NED plan (for comparison)
