What is the Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan?
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is conducting a collaborative long-term study authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 2007. The study, known as the Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan and Environmental Impact Statement will identify the actions required to:
  • mitigate losses of aquatic and terrestrial habitat;
  • recover federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act; and
  • restore the ecosystem to prevent further declines among other native species.
The study will result in a plan that guides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' mitigation, restoration, and recovery efforts for the Missouri River for the next 30 to 50 years. Additionally, the study will provide a blueprint for cooperating agencies from other federal agencies, Tribes, state governments and communities throughout the basin to pull from as they desire.

How does MRERP relate to the Missouri River Recovery Program?

The Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan will compare existing Missouri River recovery program efforts to the alternatives developed as a part of the study. When completed, the preferred alternative from the Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan will guide future recovery efforts throughout the Missouri River Basin.
