The Great Lakes Navigation Team Background Regional Team stood up in 2005 Includes port directors, shippers, harbor masters, agencies Establish program priorities regionally and use risk based approach in budgeting Tasks related to budgeting Regional decisions made based on: Developing collaborative needs and risks with stakeholders Gathering current conditions Dredging Transportation cost savings Infrastructure - Asset Management risk-based needs identified Define and review functional channels focus scarce dredging funds Prepare fact sheets for each harbor Review system interdependency Prioritize based on need and risk understanding that all needs will not receive funding

Federal Budget Process Budget requests are submitted for all federal harbors with operation & maintenance needs. The realities of a fiscally constrained budget requires funding only the highest performing, highest priority efforts. Funding for low-use harbors (<1M tons) has been reduced significantly in the past two years. Subsistence harbors and harbors that support commercial transportation (ferries) and commercial fishing are viewed as a higher priority than other non-commercial harbors but lower than commercial. With the limited funding available, recreational harbors do not meet Administration priorities for funding in the President s Budget. 5
