4 Federal Budget Process The Corps submits budget requests for all federal harbors with operation & maintenance needs. Subsistence harbors and harbors that support commercial transportation and fishing are viewed as a higher priority than other non-commercial harbors but these harbors still receive a lower priority it than commercial harbors. With the limited funding available, operations and maintenance funding for deep draft navigation projects takes priority it over recreational harbors. 4

5 Congressional Budget Process President s s Budget released in February (FY13 President s Budget is expected to be released February 13, 2012) The Corps provides information on project requirements to stakeholders and Congressional members as requested. Senate and House work together to produce a Conference Bill ideally to have funding in place by October. 5

6 FY12 Corps Funding Status Congress passed the FY12 Consolidated Appropriations Bill; enacted Dec 23, The FY12 Appropriations bill included additional O&M funds for ongoing work to be allocated by USACE HQ Additional Funding for Ongoing Work - Navigation Maintenance $34M - Deep-draft harbor and channel $55M - Inland waterways $30M - Small, remote, or subsistence nav $30M 6

7 FY12 Corps Funding Status (cont d) Criteria established by Congress for allocation of national O&M funding: Complete ongoing work to maintain authorized widths and depths Particular emphasis on places with a Coast Guard presence Enhance national, regional, or local economic development Promote job growth or international competitiveness National defense; public health and safety 7

8 FY12 Corps Funding Allocation Final allocation was announced on February 8. $8.9M was applied to Great Lakes Navigation projects. Dredging: Holland $585,090 Manistee $495,000 Saginaw $2,079, St. Joseph $693,000 Waukegan $788,040 Soo Locks Asset Renewal $2,753,190 Corps Fleet Structure Repair Milwaukee $1,485,000 8

9 FY12 Corps Pilot Program FY11 Funding included $1.4M for a low use navigation pilot program. Program s intent is to assist local sponsors with efforts leading to navigation dredging. The funds are not to be used for dredging; assist with: surveying/quantity determinations disposal site sizing and identification environmental clearances plan and spec development contract administration/quality assurance. Received funding for St. Joe, Manistee, Leland, Holland, Rochester, and Conneaut 9

C d t Condition C diti Assessments A t - Commercial Harbors- Use detailed Breakwater Assessment Team (BAT) Evaluation - Recreational Harbors- Rely on expert elicitation 2. Conduct Harbor Infrastructure Inventory on all structures 3. Prepare summary document that conveys the current condition of the harbor infrastructure as well as the risk involved in the event of failure 4 Share with stakeholders in 4. regional meetings 17 BUILDING STRONG

22 Stakeholder Involvement Identifying i Harbor Requirements Stakeholder Involvement Meetings, submit feedback Communication with Ops Chiefs and Great Lakes Navigation Team 22

23 Alternatives to Corps funded dredging g There are two primary methods for local communities to accomplish dredging outside of the traditional Corps dredging process: Local community signs an agreement with the Corps to provide funding to the Corps and the Corps accomplishes the dredging including design, contractor acquisition, and dredging quality assurance. Local community obtains a permit from the Corps and the state. The Corps will grant a permit good for 10 years. Must check state requirements. 23

24 Identifying Needs of Harbor Fact Sheets Identifying the Economic and Social Impacts Related to Maintaining the Authorized Project Identifying i Other Critical Factors (Subsistence Harbor, Infrastructure Protected by Harbor) We will continue to refine the information with your help! information with your help! army mil/greatlakes/navigation 24

25 Stakeholder Involvement We need your input on critical system requirements at your harbor or project Operations Chiefs from each District are available today with condition o surveys Updated Fact Sheets will be on the web after President s Budget is released February 13 Webpage is an important mode of communication: meetings, presentations, data 25
