Corps Navigation Mission

Provide safe, reliable, efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable waterborne transportation systems for movement of commerce, for national security needs, and for recreation.

System Reliability

Unscheduled closures increasing Infrastructure older and more vulnerable Operational matters can impact system

reliability Need for greater involvement as a team in

working river management issues

Navigation Benefits 2003 tonnage - 2.39 billion tons

(1.38 billion tons foreign) Value of foreign tonnage - $737 billion Trust Fund Revenues generated FY 2002:

$108 million - Inland Waterways Trust Fund $711 million - Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund

40 million cubic yards dredged material applied to beneficial uses annually

ISSUES OR CHALLENGES

Post 9/11 Security War on Terror Budget Aging infrastructure Locks nearing capacity Economics of O&M Reliability increasingly critical to stakeholders Need to plan and design navigation projects for maintenance Knowledge management & technology (KMT) critical to future success KMT must drive active, systemic, consistent approach to collaboration Environmental windows increasingly impacting navigation

Challenge - Outlook for Challenge - Outlook for Increased TradeIncreased Trade

Future Freight Demand

Freight traffic expected to increase by 67%

General cargo freight by 113% Highway traffic grows from 11

billion to 19 billion tons (17.2 billion metric tons)

Rail grows from 2 to 3.7 billion tons (3.4 billion metric tons)

How is this cargo going to move?• Little room left to expand

highways, especially in urban areas

• Rail mileage has been decreasing; much former right-of-way has been developed

• Rail capacity constraints in urban areas, tunnel clearances, single-track bridges

SEEKING SOLUTIONS

Adopt risk & reliability as an approach to budget development & system management

Work closely with navigation industry and ERDC on existing & new technologies

Bench mark against national and world class systems

Promptly report incidents & accidents per ER 1130-2-520, Chap. 2
