One of the missions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is to provide assistance, within its authorities, when natural disasters or other emergencies occur. In instances when the nature of a disaster exceeds the capabilities of state and local interests, the Corps may provide help to save human life, prevent immediate human suffering or mitigate property damage.

With the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, the Corps of Engineers integrated environmental concerns into our day-to-day business. In 1990, Congress authorized the Corps to undertake environmental restoration, for the benefit of fish and wildlife habitat improvements, as a new mission area. We pride ourselves on being good stewards of the environment.

In the planning of new projects, we address environmental issues from the outset of every study and carry these forward through design and construction and into project operation and maintenance. Similarly, environmental issues are addressed in the design and construction of military and support-for-others projects.

Through the Corps' ecosystem restoration program, our multi-disciplinary team provides a comprehensive approach for addressing the problems associated with disturbed and degraded ecological resources. The Corps team works with states, local governments, and other federal and regional entities to find solutions to water and related land resource problems. Together we examine the condition of existing ecosystems to determine ways to restore them through techniques such as wetland creation and restoration, streambank stabilization, and reclamation and treatment of abandoned mine lands producing acid mine drainage.

As a charter member of the nation's environmental cleanup team, the Corps has led the way for managing the cleanup of contaminated sites and developing innovative environmental restoration methods. Our planning, engineering, construction, and contracting staff investigate, design, and manage such cleanup.

The Corps supports various federal, state, and local agencies in their cleanup effort by providing a combination of scientific and engineering experience, along with quality control and contract management.

A strong environmental restoration program to study, design, and remediate contamination is in effect at Army and Air Force installations and formerly used defense sites. We also support the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund program, the Federal Aviation Administration's environmental compliance program, Federal Emergency Management Agency's underground storage tank program, and the Department of Energy's environmental compliance program.

• Operations and Maintenance

Military installations must deal with increasingly rigorous requirements to comply with a wide range of laws and regulations in addition to sustaining base function. The Corps provides comprehensive services to support military installations in each of the areas listed above.

Our multi-disciplinary team has specialized experience in master planning to determine the effect of proposed facilities and their operations on the overall installation infrastructure and the surrounding communities.

Our hazardous materials specialists work closely with information systems designers to develop comprehensive management systems to help installations better manage hazardous materials.

We can also assist with the current Army directive to privatize many installation functions and can assist in analyzing privatization as an option for streamlining facilities management programs.

Almost every action occurring at an installation is subject to some degree of environmental regulation. The Corps is here to assist with these environmental compliance requirements.

From master planning to design, to construction, and operations and maintenance, the Corps is here to assist you with the products and services your installation needs.

Through the execution of Military, Civil Works, and Support for Others programs, the Corps' North Atlantic Division provides real estate expertise from Maine to Virginia and in the District of Columbia.

We work hard to maintain a skilled staff of Real Estate Professionals and a business culture that places a premium on quality, timeliness, and customer service.

Real Estate Acquisition

• Purchase, Condemnation, Exchange, Transfer or Donation
• Temporary Interests
• Relocation Assistance for Displaced Persons
• Real Property Valuation
• DoD Relocation Services for Employees

The Corps' real estate expertise performs an integral and vital role in civil and military projects. This is accomplished through acquisition of permanent interests in real property by purchase, condemnation, exchange, transfer or donation. Other services available include acquisition of temporary interests for environmental restoration, survey and exploration, military maneuvers, etc. We provide relocation assistance for persons displaced by these acquisitions.

In addition, we manage and dispose of property by granting use of Army owned property by lease, license, or permit; prepare Reports of Excess and coordinate with GSA; dispose of excess real property by sale or transfer where specifically authorized; support Base Realignment and Closure activities, privatization of housing/utilities and the DoD Shelter for the Homeless Program.

We administer an employee relocation services contract for use by all DoD components. This relocation program has helped thousands of DoD employees sell their homes at one location and purchase or rent in a new town.

A full range of real estate services are available to other Federal agencies and state and local governments (e.g. EPA Superfund, Bureau of Prisons, Department of Interior and Saudi Arabia Defense Ministry).

The Corps performs appraisals and value estimates for establishing rental rates for Federal employees quarters, property accounting, and economic analyses of facilities alternatives.

Real Property Leasing

• Market Survey and Inspection
• Appraisals
• Leasing/Layout/Design and Alterations
• Space Acquisition/Move Coordination
• Acquisition of Telecommunications/Furniture Systems
• Construction Management

The Corps acquires and manages an extensive portfolio of leased space for a variety of Army and other Department of Defense components. We maintain a skilled staff of real estate professionals trained to assist in the survey analysis, valuation, selection, negotiation, and management of leased space. Our leasing services include design and construction management of both initial and follow-on alterations to the space, maintenance, repair, and protection of the space, move, coordination, systems furniture layout and procurement and design of telecommunications and information technology systems.
