    Inside the Castle - Ep. 177 - Permitting with Purpose: How Regulatory is "Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork"
    5 Nov 2026
    As the nation calls for faster, more resilient project delivery, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is reimagining one of its most essential public-facing missions: the Regulatory Program. In this episode of Inside the Castle, hosts Reagan Lauritzen and Amy Snively explore how USACE is actively implementing the “Build Infrastructure, Not Paperwork” (BINP) initiative across environmental permitting and regulatory oversight. Tunis McElwain, Deputy Chief, Operations and Regulatory Division at USACE Headquarters; Tom Walker, Chief of Regulatory Program at USACE Headquarters; and Daniel Elkins, a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow detailed to USACE, provide key perspectives on this transformation. They outline USACE’s national strategy to eliminate unnecessary administrative friction while upholding environmental stewardship; share how streamlined reviews, synchronized Section 408 and 404 authorities, and regional coordination are expediting critical infrastructure on the ground; and detail the digital revolution underway through the Regulatory Automation and Management Program (RAMP) and the national Regulatory Request System (RRS). From the history of RAMP and the direct benefits of the RRS public portal to concrete BINP regulatory reforms—such as nationwide categorical permissions, mitigation banking prioritizations, and automated permit self-verifications—the discussion highlights how modern tools and cultural shifts are delivering predictable, transparent, and decisive permitting outcomes for the American public.

    Inside the Castle - Ep. 176 - Deepening Our Arteries: Reforming National Dredging
    15 Oct 2026
    Dredging serves as the critical, often unseen foundation of global trade, national defense, and supply chain resilience. In this episode of Inside the Castle, hosts Reagan Lauritzen and Amy Snively sit down with Ms. Erica Janocha, Dredging Program Manager at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Headquarters, to discuss how USACE is modernizing the way it delivers the Nation’s dredging mission. The conversation explores USACE’s shift toward a more coordinated, enterprise approach to dredging through the Dredging Evolution for Enterprise Production (DEEP) Team and future Enterprise Dredging Delivery Center. By leveraging consolidated buying power, innovative contracting strategies, standardized processes, and greater visibility across the national workload, USACE is working to reduce duplicative acquisition efforts, improve efficiency and predictability, strengthen industry competition, and deliver greater value for the taxpayer. The episode also explores the broader dredging mission—from balancing environmental and economic priorities to recapitalizing the federal dredging fleet—to ensure the Nation’s ports, harbors, and waterways remain reliable and ready to support commerce and national security.

    Inside the Castle - Ep. 175 - Planning at the Speed of Relevance: Celebrating a Legacy of RAPID Innovation
    25 Sep 2026
    How does the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) decide what to build, where to build it, and how to reduce water resource risks to our local communities? It all starts with Civil Works Planning. In this episode of “Inside the Castle,” we sit down with three leaders who are fundamentally modernizing this process: Mr. Eric Bush (Chief of Planning and Policy, USACE Headquarters), Mr. Joe Redican (Deputy Chief of Planning and Policy, USACE HQ), and Ms. Susan Werning (Deputy Chief, Planning Community of Practice, USACE Headquarters). Listeners will hear about the historic rollout of the new “RAPID” planning framework—which stands for Risk-Informed, Aligned, Proportional, Iterative, and Decisive—and how it streamlines feasibility studies to deliver water resources solutions years faster. We also celebrate a major milestone as Mr. Bush prepares for his retirement this November, reflecting on a career dedicated to environmental restoration, public safety and sustainable economic development, and planning excellence. Whether you are a local community partner, an engineering professional, or a taxpayer interested in how infrastructure is designed, join us to discover how USACE is delivering at the speed of relevance.
