Division. The SACS followed on the
heels of the successful completion of the

the USACE North Atlantic Division in
the wake of the devastation caused by
Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The SACS is
a comprehensive coastal study focused
on managing coastal storm risk to
populations, infrastructure, and
environmental resources throughout the
coastal areas of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. These areas represent
approximately 65,000 miles of tidally
influenced shoreline. The goals of the
SACS, authorized by Section 1204 of the
Water Resources Development Act of
2016 (WRDA 2016), are to (1) provide a
common operating picture of coastal
risk, (2) identify high-risk locations and
focus current and future resources, (3)
identify and assess risk reduction
actions, (4) promote and support
resilient coastal communities, (5)
promote sustainable projects and
programs, and (5) leverage supplemental
actions. In addition, the study identifies
activities warranting further analysis
and institutional barriers to
implementation. Although the study
also identifies those areas warranting
more detailed evaluations, the SACS is
not scoped to recommend projects for
Congressional authorization or develop
detailed project designs. Accordingly,
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) documentation is not included
in the study scope. Full NEPA and other
environmental compliance would be
accomplished as appropriate as part of
future detailed evaluations before any
actions could be implemented. The
SACS also includes products intended
to provide a consistent set of tools to
enhance decision-making by all
stakeholders. The products include
current and projected wave and water
elevation data for the study area, coastal
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
analyses, economic evaluations,
regional sediment management and
sand availability determinations,
environmental and cultural resource
evaluations, and actionable risk
reduction strategies in areas with coastal
risk. Comments are encouraged on the
SACS Draft Report and Appendices;
technical SACS products are posted for
reference as supporting materials.
In October 2021, the USACE will host
virtual public meetings to discuss the
report and answer questions. For more
information on the virtual public
meetings, visit: https://www.sad.
usace.army.mil/SACS/. As the SACS
does not contain project-level
environmental compliance
documentation, responses to individual
public comment will not be provided.
