| Abstract: | When the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway of Mississippi and Alabama opened to commercial and recreational traffic on January
16, 1985—some 21 months ahead of schedule—it signaled the completion of the largest Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works project
ever undertaken, and perhaps the last of its kind After more than a century of studies and re-studies and major funding battles
in Congress, the Tennessee-Tombigbee construction faced, predictably, great opposition on environmental grounds The first
major project to be completed under the National Environmental Policy Act, it brought environmental design to the same level
of prominence as engineering design. |
