| 摘要： | Publications and politicians all over the country are touting the funds their regions have received from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). It's worth taking a look back at the long, winding path of the Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP), which has been a priority of Waterways Council Inc., the former Midwest Area Rivers Coalition (MARC 2000), and other waterways groups. The first studies that gave birth to what would become NESP began in 1989 and 1990. That's before some current members of Congress were born. The first "scoping meetings" were held in 1990. According to the Corps of Engineers' website on the history of NESP, "The studies began in November 1989 and April 1990, respectively, focusing on determining where the major constraints of the waterways were and making a preliminary determination of benefits and costs derived from structural or non-structural improvements to the waterways." The two so-called reconnaissance studies were combined into a single feasibility study. Other studies followed, each extending the areas of interest and moving further toward a basin-wide view and vision. |
