June 14, 2013 In recent years it has become clear that the Corps' implementation of the ESA has been consuming a large and increasing share of our limited Civil Works budget. I believe that some of that increase can be attributed to an overbroad application of the ESA. The Corps has always taken its legal responsibilities under the ESA seriously; however, we must be careful that the ESA is not interpreted in a way that generates large-scale "environmental restoration" projects that Congress has not authorized and that are not the responsibility of the Corps to implement. The attached legal guidance should assist you in proper interpretation and application of the ESA.
