In August 2003, the Corps' Director of Civil Works directed the establishment of national centers to conduct larger, complex planning studies for inland navigation, deep-draft navigation, ecosystem restoration, water supply, and flood damage reduction. The national centers are part of a Corps initiative to improve the quality and effectiveness of the planning process for water resources projects called the Planning Excellence Program (PEP). The PEP includes training and work force capability improvement, enhanced quality assurance and control efforts, process improvement and regional and national planning centers.
The MVD was assigned the ECO-PCX. The ECO-PCX will be consistent with other national centers and thus, over time, will be adjusted based on experience and further direction. The center's structure and functions will evolve over time as experience is gained and the Center matures.
