Introduction • Life safety is our No. 1 priority

• The Corps of Engineers is a learning organization

• The nationwide Corps Levee Safety Program

comprises 14,600 miles of levees in 2,000

systems

• Civil Works Transformation under way

• Risk Assessment part of all future Levee projects

“Life-cycle Flood Risk Management is a shared responsibility. We remain committed and vigilant to

reducing flood risk to the citizens of our Nation. We will continue to look critically and vigorously at the resilience and vulnerability of our water resource infrastructure, nationwide, and help drive down risk together with all our partners.”

- MG Merdith “Bo” Temple Deputy Commanding General

BUILDING STRONG®

In Summary

3

• The Corps and the City are committed to life safety

– protecting people and property

• Levees more resilient than originally evaluated and less risk associated with their performance

• The levees have been determined to be tall enough to withstand a flood with a frequency between 1/1,000 and 1/5,000 years

• Goal is to complete the System Study late 2013

• The City and Corps will continue to look for ways to

ensure public safety and expedite this work in a

cost effective manner

BUILDING STRONG®

Purpose of Briefing

• Discuss recent successes

• Civil Works Transformation

• Discuss Risk Assessment

• Background, Principal Findings and

Recommendations

• Recent Actions

• System Study Path Forward

• Summary

4

BUILDING STRONG® 5

Recent Successes • City has been very diligent addressing deficiencies

identified in the 2007 Periodic Inspection

• 198 maintenance deficiencies corrected

• City granted 2-yr extension in P.L. 84-99 program

• Corps approved (Section 408) • 100-yr Levee Improvements & Baker Pump Station

• City moving forward with 100-yr levee improvements

• Pavaho Pump Station almost finished

• Work is progressing on the System Study

BUILDING STRONG® 6

Civil Works Transformation

• Why Civil Works Transformation?

• Better address water resources challenges and the

needs of the nation in fiscally constrained environment

• Identify national priorities

• Streamline the Civil Works planning process

• Ensure an expedited, economical and focused study

process (3x3x3 rule)

• High Priority Dallas project selected early for Risk

Assessment

• Risk Assessments will be required for all levee projects

BUILDING STRONG® 7

Risk Assessment – Background

• Prior to the Risk Assessment, we identified 3 scenarios on possible impacts to the 100-yr levee improvements plan:

• Scenario #1 – Minor changes to plan; meet anticipated FEMA

schedule for release of revised flood maps.

• Scenario #2 – Major changes to plan; also meets FEMA

schedule.

• Scenario #3 – Changes so great, 100-year fixes will have to be

rolled into larger levee improvement plan; not meet FEMA

schedule

• Risk Assessment resulted in NO changes to the 100-yr

levee improvements plan

• Through investigation, analysis and Risk Assessment,

we know more about the Dallas Floodway system

BUILDING STRONG®

Risk Assessment – Background • Corps uses a risk-informed approach to levee

safety similar to its dam safety activities

• Evaluations of risk includes two components:

structural performance and consequences

• Corps Headquarters determined the risk-

informed processes could help focus the

evaluation of the existing system and the scope

of the ongoing study which would include life

safety in addition to economic decision factors

• In September Corps Headquarters sent a team

to Dallas to evaluate the economic and life

safety risks posed by the system

BUILDING STRONG®


• Large flood damage reduction system – 11 miles

of levees on each side of the Trinity River

• Built in many stages, with various levels of

design and expertise, the levee system has only

been tested to ½ its height by floodwaters

• Performance had been questioned in Periodic

Inspection #9 – particularly related to stability

• Review of extensive geotechnical work done to

date (5,000-plus borings)

Risk Assessment – Dallas Floodway

• 3 weeks (Potential Failure Mode Analysis -

PFMA in Nov., First Risk Assessment in Dec.,

Second Risk Assessment in Jan.)

• Experts from Risk Management Center (RMC),

Fort Worth District (SWF), Corps Engineer

Research and Development Lab (ERDC), City of

Dallas, and HNTB (City’s Contractor)

• External Technical review complete

• No major findings

• Final report to be completed

14

BUILDING STRONG®

Risk Assessment – What We Learned

• Our understanding of the types of floods that

generally occur in the basin

• The impact that the shorter-duration floods have

on the distance that water penetrates the levees

• A better understanding of the combination of

events that need to happen to cause failure

• Assumed that all current and future efforts in and

around the floodway system will do no harm and

meet Corps requirements

15

BUILDING STRONG®

Examples of Failure Modes

Find the Weak Spot

• The Initiating Event (flood, deterioration/aging, malfunction, earthquake)

• The Failure Mechanism (Internal erosion through the foundation, Gates fail to open leading to overtopping)

• The Resulting Impact on the Structure (rapidity of failure, breach characteristics, consequences)

16

BUILDING STRONG®

Overtopping with Breach

Breach Prior to Overtopping

Overtopping Without Breach

General Failure Mode Categories

Internal Erosion

17

BUILDING STRONG®

Principal Findings • Levees more resilient than originally

evaluated and less risk associated with their performance

• The team examined 13 potential failure modes

• Of those, only 2 failure modes appeared to be

significant, and then only in extreme events

• Overtopping and Breach of the East and West Levee

Systems. However, the levees have been determined to be tall enough to withstand a flood with a frequency between 1/1,000 and 1/5,000 years

• Overtopping of the floodwall on the East Levee

18

BUILDING STRONG®

Principal Findings • In addition, one failure mode is potentially

significant – internal erosion in the foundation of

the East/West levees in specific locations

• City’s construction of cut-off walls as part of their

effort to regain FEMA accreditation will likely help

reduce risk associated with this potential failure mode

• These 3 failure modes are being addressed as

part of the on-going System Study

• Risks for all other failure modes are tolerable

19

BUILDING STRONG®

Principal Findings

• Floods are likely short duration events.

Overtopping without breach is NOT likely to fill

the areas protected by the levees

• If the levee overtops AND breaches, the depth

and area of inundation will be significant

20

BUILDING STRONG®

Principal Findings

• The City of Dallas has been active in managing

risks.

• They have a good surveillance plan, emergency

action plan, and good lines of communication

with emergency management officials.

• This should all result in good warning for any

potential issues.

21

BUILDING STRONG®

Recommendations • Develop alternatives to reduce life safety risks from

overtopping and breach of the system

• Tougher not taller levees – preventing breach is more important

than preventing overtopping

• Raising levees without providing resilience would increase risks

• Develop alternatives to reduce life safety risks from

internal erosion – look for cost effective measures

• The team recommends developing remote detection

device alternatives to evaluate the assumptions made in

the risk assessment and provide the ability for real-time

safety evaluations to be made

• Revised Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to reflect

information learned in the Risk Assessment

22


Recent Actions

• Risk Assessment helped define project conditions and identified risks to life safety

• In May, letter sent to Mayor Rawlings stating, “Initial indications suggest the levees, as they stand today after the aforementioned numerous deficiency corrections, are more resilient than originally evaluated”

• There is less risk associated with levees

performance.

• Risk Assessment allows us to focus on critical areas

• Risk Assessment was key to moving the System

Study forward.


Recent Actions

• May 23-24, 2012, City & Corps held a Feasibility Scoping Meeting

• Discussions were held on the risks identified by the

Risk Assessment

• Measures were proposed to address the significant

risks

• Solution might not be as extensive as previously

thought (tougher not taller)


System Study Path Forward

• Next steps identified:

• Continue to utilize Risk Assessment; incorporating

results into ongoing System Study

• Narrowing down of proposed measures

• Determine economical viability resulting in Federal

interest; justify ability to cost-share

• Meet with other stakeholders to develop schedules

for the System Study

• Update committee in Fall with results

BUILDING STRONG®

In Summary

26

• The Corps and the City are committed to life safety

– protecting people and property

• Levees more resilient than originally evaluated and less risk associated with their performance

• The levees have been determined to be tall enough to withstand a flood with a frequency between 1/1,000 and 1/5,000 years

• Goal is to complete the System Study late 2013

• The City and Corps will continue to look for ways to

ensure public safety and expedite this work in a

cost effective manner

The Trinity Trust Presents Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge Documentary Bridging The Trinity For The Love Of The City

Documentary premieres June 13 on WFAA-TV Ch. 8

DALLAS, Texas, May 29, 2012 – The Trinity Trust presents a documentary about the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge titled Bridging The Trinity For The Love Of The City on June 13 on WFAA-TV Channel 8 at 6:30 p.m. The 30-minute film illustrates the building of the cable-stayed bridge beginning with the first announcements in 2001 and completing with the opening celebrations in 2012. Dr. Gail Thomas, president and CEO of The Trinity Trust, said, “In March, more than 40,000 people attended the opening celebration of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. With this film, we can relive that celebratory moment and all of the dramatic moments leading up to it. On June 13, we will watch how this bridge was built, from the groundbreaking and topping off of the arch to the stringing of cables and three-day opening celebration.” The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge Celebration was co-hosted by the City of Dallas, The Trinity Trust and the Trinity Commons Foundation. More than a decade in the making, the half-hour special is the work of award-winning, veteran documentary team of Judy Kelly, producer/writer, and Ginny Martin, photographer/editor. Beginning with Ambassador and former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk’s appeal to the community in 2001, which began the public/private partnership to finance the signature bridge, and ending with a challenge for the public to support efforts to reclaim the Trinity River, the program introduces all of the bridge builders, led by Spanish artist, architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava. Featured in the program are the many architects, engineers, truck drivers, ironworkers, welders, crane operators, cable installation crews, electricians and highway constructors who worked on the bridge, as well as the politicians, philanthropists and the community representatives behind the effort to build Calatrava’s first vehicular bridge in America. Through Hunt Petroleum, the Hill family made a lead gift in honor of their mother, Margaret Hunt Hill, for Dallas to have an iconic bridge. The Eugene McDermott Foundation also contributed generously to the bridge. In addition, the documentary includes footage of middle school students who built a 20-foot

model of the cable-stayed bridge after they visited the bridge construction site and spoke with the engineers. During the Engineering Workshop, sponsored by The Trinity Trust in partnership with SMU’s Summer Youth Program of the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development, SMU’s Talented and Gifted Program, the teenagers express how the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge will better connect Dallas and its citizens. Bridging The Trinity For The Love Of The City concludes with scenes of the community gathered on the bridge including the Parade of Builders and West Dallas Chamber of Commerce’s Parade of Giants, a levee run, a street fair, and opening ceremonies to celebrate this hallmark of the greater Trinity River project. About The Trinity Trust Foundation: The Trinity Trust Foundation helps the city by raising private funds for this $2.2 billion urban park project. Donations from the private sector will add amenities such as the signature Calatrava bridges, lakes, a central island, a white water course, amphitheaters, and ball fields. The foundation also reaches out into the community to educate citizens about the project with presentations, symposia, and events. More information can be found by calling 214.740.1616, by emailing [email protected], or by visiting www.thetrinitytrust.org. About the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge: Opened in March 2012, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge transforms the Dallas skyline and Dallas’ relationship to the 20-mile green space known as the Trinity River Corridor. The bridge joins more than a dozen downtown bridges, all overlooking the Trinity River that runs beneath them. Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge also connects West Dallas with the heart of downtown, instigating new urban conservation and development revitalization efforts in a historically underserved part of the city. According to the Texas Department of Transportation, the bridge costs $82 million, and the highway approaches and land cost more than $100 million. The adjacent Continental Avenue Bridge will soon be transformed into a pedestrian plaza and gateway park also connecting West Dallas with the Design District and downtown. The Sylvan bridge construction begins in 2012, and the Margaret McDermott Bridge, replacing the I-30 bridge, begins construction in 2013.
