Army Corps to move forward with rewriting the river system manual
Friday, February 1st, 2008(thanks to Craig for the link) Despite Sen. Richard Shelby’s ridiculous objections, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plan to move forward on updating the operating manuals for the ACF river system.
Parts of the manuals have not been updated since they were first written in 1958 and obviously need an overhaul. As Senator Saxby Chambliss points out, “for the ACF Basin, the only approved master manual was prepared in 1958 and does not even include the federal facilities at West Point, Walter F. George or George W. Andrews.”
As with other recent moves, this is unlikely to offer any benefit in the near future. However, it’s nice to see they’re at least doing something to help the long-term outlook.
