Sec.  385.11  Implementation process for projects.


    Generally, the Corps of Engineers and non-Federal sponsors shall 
develop and implement projects in accordance with the process that is 
shown in figure 1 in Appendix A of this part. Typical steps in this 
process involve:
    (a) Project Management Plan. The Project Management Plan describes 
the activities, tasks, and responsibilities that will be used to produce 
and deliver the products necessary to implement the project.
    (b) Project Implementation Report. The Project Implementation Report 
provides information on plan formulation and evaluation, engineering and 
design, estimated benefits and costs, and environmental effects to 
bridge the gap between the conceptual design included in the Plan and 
the detailed design necessary to proceed to construction. The Project 
Implementation Reports will also set forth additional information and 
analyses necessary for the Secretary of the Army or Congress to approve 
the project for implementation.
    (c) Plans and specifications. During this phase, final design of the 
project is completed and plans and specifications are prepared. Plans 
and specifications

contain the information necessary to bid and construct the project.
    (d) Real estate acquisition. The lands, easements, and rights-of 
way, and relocations necessary for the project are acquired prior to 
construction.
    (e) Construction. This phase is the actual construction of a 
project's components and includes an interim operation and monitoring 
period to ensure that the project operates as designed.
    (f) Operation. After construction of the project has been completed, 
it is operated in accordance with the System Operating Manual and the 
Project Operating Manual.
    (g) Monitoring and assessment. After the project has been 
constructed, monitoring is conducted as necessary to assess the 
effectiveness of the project and to provide information that will be 
used for the adaptive management program.
