  1. Navigation BudgetWhere we are going Jim Walker USACE, Headquarters August 24, 2007

  2. Navigation Funding • America’s Infrastructure condition • Risk and Reliability • Corps post-Katrina evaluation of dams and levees • Finding Problems – Funds to Fix? • Navigation must begin to develop and implement risk/reliability assessments • Channels • Navigation Locks

  3. Navigation Lock Unavailability, 1991-2005 Total Hours Scheduled vs. Unscheduled without Ice Reliability – Navigation Locks

  4. Where We Are Inland Navigation • Reliability • Unscheduled lock closures • Objective - Five Year Development Plan: less than 20,000 hours of unscheduled closures • FY09 pursue first year of incremental improvement • Corps wide Navigation Lock assessment • Prioritized list of non-routine maintenance • Maintenance management software being deployed - FEM

  5. Where We Are Coastal Navigation • Navigation Channels – 1100 projects • Reliability • Channel availability • Determined by condition surveys • Objective: Channel should be available __% of the time

  6. Where We Are Channel Availability • Initial effort: Projects with greater than 10M tons per year • Establish Performance Standard • Determine channel availability trend • FY 2005, 2006, 2007 • Five Year Development Plans • FY 2009 Improvement Increment

  7. Nav Channel Cross Section • Channel Availability • Depth at Centerline (CL) • Depth at Channel Toe • Depth at Quarter Points CL Qtr Pt Qtr Pt Toe Toe Advanced Maintenance Allowable Overdepth

  8. Where We Are Channel Availability • Level of Service Standard • Full project depth • Half project width, 95% of the time • Channel availability trend • FY 2005: 38% • FY 2006: 35% • FY 2009 – 2013: get to 95% • FY 2009 Improvement Increment

  9. Risk Categories and Levels

  10. Where We’re Going • Objective based – level of service • Risk and Reliability are the key elements • Economic impact of less than project depth • Navigation Structures Risk and Reliability being developed • Jetties, Breakwaters, River training works • Convey results to Economists

  11. Status • OMB indicating agreement with this approach • Corps Districts view this as do-able • Beginning discussions with navigation customers and stakeholders • Feedback? • james.e.walker@usace.army.mil
