CIVIL WORKS GUIDE TO
SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS
1. Purpose. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Environmental Operating Principles
(EOP) encourage staff to “create mutually supporting economic and environmentally sustainable
solutions” (Refs. 4.a., 4.b.). Civil Works (CW) infrastructure projects must meet many
requirements, some of which directly contribute to environmental, economic, and/or social
sustainability. This pamphlet identifies existing USACE requirements that have the greatest
positive impact on an infrastructure project’s sustainability. Ensuring projects meet these
requirements during planning, design, and construction helps CW deliver sustainable solutions.
2. Applicability. This pamphlet applies to all USACE elements with CW responsibilities
associated with the planning, design, and construction of new and existing infrastructure.
3. Distribution Statement. Approved for public release. Distribution is unlimited.
