Incidents on the western rivers involving permanently moored vessels and waterfront structures prompted a comprehensive review of similar incidents. This review concluded that the location of a structure on a waterway was a key variable in the majority of the incidents analyzed. This paper describes a Memorandum of Agreement establishing a formal process for the U.S. Coast Guard to provide input to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' review of Section 10 permit applications. It also describes the risk assessment models used by the U.S. Coast Guard when evaluating permit applications as well as some of the considerations that are considered when developing recommendations that will be made to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
