ANNUAL DREDGING REQUIREMENT (CY)

DREDGED MATERIAL MANAGEMENT STATUS Critical – Dredged Material Management issues could severely restrict channel availability within 2 years Pressing – Dredged Material Management issues could severely restrict channel availability within 10 years. No pressing issues within next 10 years; continue to work on long range planning such as DMMPs.


Dredged Material Management Initiatives Initiatives underway to reduce requirements/increase efficiencies:

Leverage EPA funding from Legacy Act and GLRI (both dredging and dredged material management)

Work with states and local sponsors on finding beneficial uses of dredged material and reuse for CDF material

Work with states on acceptability of testing protocols for open lake placement

Soo Locks Reliability

15


70% of the commercial commodities transiting the Soo Locks are limited by size to the Poe Lock

•Security concerns - foreign crews in vessels are capable of seriously damaging or destroying locks

•There is currently no redundancy for the Poe Lock

Two major efforts are underway to improve reliability of the Soo Locks 1. Maintain existing infrastructure through Asset Renewal Plan 2. New replacement lock with the same dimensions as the Poe Lock-

BCR sensitivity analysis underway

•The economic impact of a 30-day unscheduled closure of the Soo Locks = $160M

Soo Locks – Iron Ore Impact Assessment

17

• Iron ore is by far the number one commodity transiting the Soo Locks • 97% of iron ore mined in U.S. comes from Mesabi Range in MN or Marquette Range in MI. • Integrated steel mills are located on the lower lakes Great Lakes; do not have the infrastructure to accept iron ore by any means but ship. • Most of this iron ore passes through the Soo Locks.

New Replacement Lock

WRDA 2007: Construction at 100% federal expense Inconsistent with Administration policy due to BCR of 0.73 Currently conducting a partial benefits reanalysis to determine

if some benefit categories were not captured or if insufficient information was used. If there is a large enough increase in benefits, a BCR revisit may be in order.

21

BUILDING STRONG®

Benefits Analysis Status • Evaluate potential benefits which might impact the BCR • Review completed by end of FY14 by contract • Involvement included District staff, Inland Navigation

Planning Center of Expertise, Lake Carriers’ Association, shippers, system users

• Survey of top shippers/operators that move coal and iron ore through the locks. The objective was to determine how a closure would affect businesses, what their response would be, and what costs would be associated with that response.

• Incorporated updated probabilities of failure and combined with costs to the users to determine possible impacts on project benefits.
