Abstract: This survey estimates the number and type of recreation visits to Corps of Engineers lands and related expenditures. The data collected is used to identify, quantify and evaluate recreation use and expenditures for planning, feasibility studies, environmental assessments, environmental impact statements, development of visitation models, and estimates of economic impacts for both existing water resources projects and proposed water resource development. The survey provides load-factor statistics that can be applied to monthly vehicle traffic meter tallies to estimate use levels.
