SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Managed Aquifer Recharge Planning and Guidance Study; OMB Control Number 0710–MARP. Type of Request: New. Number of Respondents: 1,600. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 1,600. Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes. Annual Burden Hours: 400. Needs and Uses: The survey will inform the development of a screening tool and other resources for USACE Districts to identify optimal sites for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), which uses captured surface water to replenish groundwater. The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016 provides authority for water supply conservation projects for drought resilience and water supply availability studies for water resources development (Sections 1116 and 1118, respectively). The WRDA of 2016 further requires USACE to consider natural and naturebased features, such as MAR, as potential solutions to address various challenges along with other measures. However, USACE has not developed a strategic framework for incorporating MAR into its operations. Furthermore, the Institute for Water Research concluded that Districts only engage with aquifer recharge in an ‘‘ad hoc’’ manner and recommended that USACE ‘‘upgrade its internal capacity in MAR.’’ (IWR 2020). The WRDA of 2022 instructs USACE to ‘‘conduct a study at Federal expense to determine the feasibility of carrying out managed aquifer recharge projects to address drought, water resiliency, and aquifer depletion.’’ Following these recommendations, the proposed work contributes to the development of guidance on MAR. This aligns with Civil Works strategies for flood risk management, restoration of aquatic ecosystems in floodplains, and developing environmentally sustainable technical services that enhance public safety and require collaborative partnerships. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers— Engineer Research and Development Center has partnered with Arizona State University (ASU) through the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Units VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Jan 17, 2024 Jkt 262001 (CESU) Network to complete the ‘‘Managed Aquifer Recharge Planning and Guidance Study’’ and meet the above goals and directives. The design of an effective screening tool and other resources for implementing MAR requires information held by key stakeholders and decision-makers to understand the challenges and needs associated with implementing MAR in regions around the nation. Developing the screening tool and other resources will further require identifying practitioners and stakeholders interested in participating in pilot projects. The ASU Principal Investigator and research team will deploy a survey to inform the development of a MAR screening tool by gathering information about the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of stakeholders and decisionmakers about MAR. The survey will target a purposively developed sample of key water and floodplain stakeholders and decision-makers from across the continental United States.
