U.S. ARMY CORPS of ENGINEERS
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Nation's waterways to ensure efficient and safe passage of commercial and recreational vessels. The Corps' navigation projects play an integral role in the Nation's economy by providing efficient means by which commercial shippers can economically transport foreign and domestic products.
U.S. DEPARTMENT of the INTERIOR
As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the U.S. Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This responsibility includes fostering the wise use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to ensure that their development is in the best interests of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in island territories under United States administration.
