Description
Summary:Estimates of the environmental benefits associated with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) activities are increasingly becoming part of project requirements. This technical note describes Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA), a procedure that could potentially be applied to a wide variety of USACE projects to assist in calculating such benefits.
