The President’s Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 for the Civil Works program of the Army Corps of Engineers funds the development, management, restoration, and protection of the Nation’s water, wetlands, and related resources, through studies, the construction, operation and maintenance of projects, the Corps regulatory program, the cleanup of certain sites contaminated as a result of the Nation’s early atomic weapons development, and emergency response preparedness. These investments will enable communities to reduce their flood risks, facilitate waterborne transportation, restore significant aquatic ecosystems, and generate low-cost renewable hydropower. The Budget focuses on the highest performing work within the three main missions of the Corps: commercial navigation, flood and storm damage reduction, and aquatic ecosystem restoration.
