ABSTRACT
The solid portion of the Earth's surface, as opposed to sea, water. (IHO Dictionary, S-32, 5th Edition, 2635). Distinction: canal; coastline; depth area; lake; land region; river; sea bed area; shoreline construction; vegetation. The USACE IENCs coverage area consists of 7,260 miles across 21 rivers primarily located in the Central United States. IENCs apply to inland waterways that are maintained for navigation by USACE for shallow-draft vessels (e.g., maintained at a depth of 9-14 feet, dependent upon the waterway project authorization). Generally, IENCs are produced for those commercially navigable waterways which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) does not produce Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs). However, Special Purpose IENCs may be produced in agreement with NOAA.
