Cultural Resources Sharepoint Site The Cultural Resources Sub-Cop helps planners fulfill USACE obligations to preserve and protect trust resources, comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and ensure reasonable access to sacred sites, through working directly with Tribes. Economics Sharepoint Site The Economics Sub-Cop provides resources to planners to help them conduct the economics of the design, formulation, and implementation of water resources studies and projects. Plan Formulation Sharepoint Site The Plan Formulation Sub-Cop supports planners with tools and resources needed to conduct plan formulation activities.
