| 摘要： | On January 19, the CoRps of Engineers released its FY21 Work Plan for allocating funds provided in the FY21 Energy & Water Development appropriations bill that was part of the FY21 omnibus appropriations bill signed into law on December 27, 2020. The Energy and Water bill funds the Corps' civil works mission in addition to U.S. Department of Energy programs. While welcome to waterways interests, the Work Plan contained one disappointment to advocates of the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP). Many in the inland watenvays community, and many farmers in the Upper Mississippi River region, were hoping that significantly increased funding for NESP would be the navigation "new start" called for in the omnibus appropriations bill. Instead, the new construction start is to be Montgomery Lock and Dam on the Ohio River, at a level of $22 million. Other Work Plan allocations include Chickamauga Lock at $191 million and Kentucky Lock and Dam at $110.1 million. |
