Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
Funding for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Civil Works: Policy Primer
Updated May 2, 2022
Congress authorizes and funds the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to undertake civil works
activities, including planning and construction of water resource projects and maintenance of navigation
improvements and other infrastructure (e.g., multipurpose dams).
Division J, Title III, of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58), which became law
on November 15, 2021, provided $17.1 billion in emergency appropriations to various USACE accounts
(see Figure 1), with the majority going to three accounts:
   Construction (68%)
   Operation and Maintenance (O&M, 23%)
   Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T, 5%)
IIJA also provided
* $251 million for repair of damages to existing projects, including nonfederal levees and
shore protection through the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) account
* $75 million to the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) account for
USACE to implement a direct loan and loan guarantee program, which IIJA limited to
nonfederal dam safety work (similar to a limit applied to FY2021 and FY2022
appropriations)
