Key recent items

This marks a streamlined process update for activity reviews under the Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act [USACE News page, May 4, 2026].[1]
- Construction Management Platform (CMP) rollout planned for 2027, powered by Kahua, aimed at standardizing project management across USACE activities. The agency describes this as part of a broader modernization effort to improve collaboration with industry and efficiency in construction projects [USACE News page, April 30, 2026].[1]
- Brandon Road Interbasin Project (BRIP) construction phase progress reported, with continued work announced. This is a significant flood control and waterway project involving multiple districts and federal/state partners [USACE News page, April 9, 2026].[1]
- 2026 nationwide permits (NWPs) publication and reissuance activity highlighted, including reissuance of 56 existing NWPs and one new permit, with comprehensive policy updates affecting work in wetlands and other waters under Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act authorities.
