The United States Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for maintaining and operating the Nation's navigable waterways and is the primary agency for maintaining federal flood control dams. This includes a vast amount of infrastructure that includes 270 navigation dams, 350 reservoir dams, and 238 lock chambers (Bullock and Foltz 1995). The inland waterways which are maintained by the Corps of Engineers are used to transport 630 million tons of consumer goods every year that include petroleum, coal, construction aggregate, chemicals, grain and mineral ores, with an annual value of $73 billion. The navigable inland waterways carry roughly 17% of the Nation's volume of intercity cargo - a significant portion of the economy (USACE 2004).
