About this source
US Army Corps of Engineers public datasets. No auth. - searchDams (NID, ~91k dams via bulk CSV, 24h cache) - getRegulatoryDistrict (point lookup → 1 of 39 districts for Section 404 routing) - searchLevees, searchLocksAndDams, searchNavigationFacilities, searchFUDS, searchCorpsProjects - getWetlandRegion (point lookup → wetland supplement region) - getReservoirStatus (CWMS — current pool % for flood/conservation/total) Federal scope: dams, levees, locks, navigation, defense cleanup, civil works projects, reservoir pool levels, wetland-rule supplements. IENC layers have no state/county columns — use bbox or near. CWMS reservoirs and Corps projects also lack STATE; state filters fall back to bbox or district mapping.

Backed by bulk CSV with a 24h in-memory cache (first call hydrates).
getRegulatoryDistrict
readUSACE regulatory district lookup: district, division, contact for a lat/lon (Army Corps).
Required paramslatlonsearchLevees
readCombined IENC LEVEE_LINE + LEVEE_AREA. Use bbox, near, or a recognized state.
No county column; unknown state matches nothing. geometryType: line or polygon.
searchLocksAndDams
readLocks FS + IENC dam + lock layers. riverSystem accepts curated bboxes.
searchFUDS
readFormerly Used Defense Sites. Filters: state, bbox, near, programCategory. No county column.
programCategory examples: BD, CON, OE, HTRW, MMRP.
searchCorpsProjects
readCorps civil works projects. State filter maps to district codes (no STATE or county column).
Districts cross state lines: state TX also returns NM/CO rows. Check lat/lon.
getWetlandRegion
readWetland-rule supplement region lookup for a lat/lon (USACE Army Corps).
Required paramslatlongetReservoirStatus
readCWMS reservoir pool levels (flood/conservation/total). Filter by state/bbox/near.
poolType default flood. state = bbox (neighbor edge rows); state field blank.
