Case Study

Shared Vision Planning on the James River, Virginia

Whereas other Shared Vision Planning (SVP) studies have typically addressed reservoir operation issues (e.g., Lake Ontario Study, Mississippi Headwaters, ACT-ACF, etc.), the Corps also needs to work with stakeholders as it performs its regulatory role under section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and it must increase its support to states in performing their water management roles. Likewise the state of Virginia recognizes the critical roles of both public involvement and technical analysis in implementing the new state water supply planning regulations. Therefore, the state of Virginia, the Corps’ Norfolk District and USEPA Region III are helping guide IWR’s pilot SVP study for the James River to support the Corps/EPA 404 regulatory role and the state’s water planning process. The effort will take 3-5 months and will involve workshops, model development, limited data gathering and initial decision-making trials.
