Sir, we have looked at the existing authorities, and there is just no way to make it work.
You type out the words, preparing the script to find the right words to soften the blow. There are all of the right combinations here - there is infrastructure to protect, there are economic benefits to be gained, as evidenced by repeated flooding in the area, and there are even possible life safety issues at stake. There are previous federal investments that can be addressed through resilient features. There are ecosystem issues that need to be addressed. If you were to look for the perfect project for the Corps to undertake, this would be the one.
And you have run out of coordination funds, and the MSC lead is being a jerk and refusing to issue you more.
This is a project that needs to be addressed systematically and with great care.
And you have not succeeded in getting the project started. Your insomnia increases and you stare at the ceiling, wondering what you could have done to serve the people. Maybe you would have been better as a bulldozer driver, just like your uncle said. Or maybe a prison guard.
As a last resort, you decide to write up the results and ask a panel of participants at the annual (well, kind of annual) CAP workshop for brainstorming help.
How do you proceed?
No, I'm really asking. How do you proceed?
