7	RECOMMENDED PLAN Seeks approval for an integrated plan that serves as a framework for modifications and operational changes to the Upper Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway System to provide for navigation efficiency and environmental sustainability, and to add ecosystem restoration as an authorized project purpose.
8	RECOMMENDED DUAL PURPOSE PLAN Framework (50-yr) for Navigation Efficiency and Ecosystem Restoration. Seeking authorization for first increment (15 yr). Ecosystem restoration 15 yr increment = $1.58 billion. Navigation efficiency 15 yr increment = $2.03 billion. Adaptive Implementation with checkpoints at years 3, 7, and 15.
9	FY05 Accomplishments Feasibility Study Officially Closed Program Management Plan (PgMP) 30 Project Management Plans Completed Multidisciplinary Science Panel Formed Significant progress on most projects WRDA Authorization Pending 98.4% Execution of a $11.237M Program Continuation of PED in FY06 - $10M
