2 Brookport, Illinois Flood Protection Project Feasibility Estimated Federal Cost TBD Estimated Non-Federal Cost TBD Total Estimated Project Cost TBD Allocation thru FY17 $35,000 Balance to Complete After FY17 TBD FY18 President s $0 FY18 Allocation (thru JAN 2018) $0 FY19 President s Budget $0 As of 2/13/2018 Water ponding along the Brookport Levee toe - May 2010 N/A The project is located on the right bank of the Ohio River at river mile 938 in Brookport, IL. Section 5070 of WRDA 2007 authorizes Corps participation in the reconstruction of eligible flood control projects in Illinois and Missouri. The Corps must, however, determine that the reconstruction is not required as a result of improper operation and maintenance by non-federal interests. Section 5070(d) lists the eligible projects, which include seven communities within Louisville District: Brookport, Golconda, Harrisburg, Reevesville, Rosiclare, Shawneetown, and Old Shawneetown. HQ implementation guidance states that no work will be done unless Congress provides specific funding for this project. The City of Brookport has made recent repairs to the project replacing a deteriorated sluice gate with a flap gate. In addition, Brookport has been identified as a priority levee system by the USACE Risk Management Center, and could be considered for a Higher Level Risk Assessment to better characterize and define the vulnerabilities and risk driving potential failure modes of the system. FY 2017 Activities: In support of the potential Higher Level Risk Assessment, initial mapping and modeling of the system is currently being performed by the USACE Mapping and Modeling Consequence Center. The results of any risk assessment would inform future studies or decisions on the project. FY18 Planned Activities: The Higher Level Risk Assessment initiated in FY17 will be completed in FY 18. Funding for the assessment is a part of a national program with appropriations distributed by the Corps of Engineers Headquarters on a priority basis. The Brookport project was removed from the Corps Rehabilitation and Inspection Program in 2003, and was de-accredited by FEMA in 2007 primarily due to the deteriorated condition of two 72 pipes at stations ,the condition of the sluice gate at this location, and unwanted vegetation within the levee embankment throughout. Though the sluice gate has been repaired, the pipes remain in an unacceptable condition. Congressional Interest: Sen. Richard Durbin Sen. Tammy Duckworth Rep.

3 John T. Myers Locks and Dam, IN and KY As of 2/14/2018 Estimated Federal Cost $226,561,000 Estimated Non-Federal Cost $216,239,000 Total Estimated Project Cost $442,800,000 Allocation thru FY17 1/ $19,456,946 Balance to Complete After FY17 $423,343,054 FY18 President s Budget $0 FY18 Allocation (thru January 2018) $0 FY19 President s Budget $0 1/ Includes funds ($10,110,000) provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law 111-5, which are not cost shared with IWTF appropriations. J.T. Myers 600 Lock Extension The project is located on the right bank of the Ohio River at river mile approximately 3.5 miles downstream of Uniontown, KY, with the lock chambers towards the Indiana shore. The John T. Myers Lock Extension Project will extend the existing 600-foot long auxiliary lock chamber to a 1,200-foot long lock chamber. This effort will give the navigation facility twin 1,200-foot locks for inland navigation tow traffic. This additional lock capacity will enable the facility, in operation since 1969, to manage tow traffic during planned and unscheduled main lock closures without significant delays to inland navigation. Many contracts are required to design and construct the project. Preconstruction, Engineering and Design (PED) efforts since 2000 have included hydraulic model studies and engineering analysis and foundation explorations towards preparation of project plans and specifications. Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) 2000, Public Law FY 2017 Activities: No activities were completed in FY2017 since no Federal funds were available. FY 2018 Activities: Awaiting funds to re-evaluate the cost and economics of the current approved plan. FY 2019 Planned Activities: If funds are not received in FY2018, funds in FY 2019 would be used to re-evaluate the cost and economics of the current approved plan. In September 2004, the Corps awarded the first site preparation contract for construction of an Operations Support Facility. Those construction activities were completed in late The remaining site preparation contracts will include: a) excavation of the river bank to widen the upper lock approach; b) construction of a Resident Engineer s building; c) miter gate storage area, with spare gate; and d) implementation of aquatic mitigation. Based upon physical modeling, it is necessary to widen the upper approach area for downbound entry of commercial towing vessels into the extended auxiliary lock chamber. The spare miter gate will allow the Corps to expedite both scheduled maintenance activities and emergency repairs to the existing lock miter gates. Environmental mitigation will involve installation of a series of in-water features, over three consecutive summer and fall low water seasons, to enhance aquatic habitat in the nearby vicinity of the project. Upon receipt of additional funding the District would proceed towards award of the remaining contracts. The District plans to award two contracts to construct the lock extension and its new approach walls. The Corps of Engineers has suspended design of the project until receipt of additional funds. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided the Corps of Engineers with funding to award the contracts for construction of the upper lock approach widening and Resident Engineer s building. The approach widening contract was awarded on December 17, 2009 and was substantially complete in July The Resident Engineer s Building was awarded on March 31, 2010, and was substantially complete in December of the remaining work will be accomplished by award of both fully and incrementally-funded contracts. The schedule will be developed upon receipt of additional funds. The John T. Myers project passes the highest tonnage of all the Ohio River high lift locks with a 600-foot

4 auxiliary chamber. Approximately 73 million tons of commodities were shipped through the J. T. Myers locks in The project authorization was a product of the Ohio River Mainstem Systems Study, which used a regional systems approach to address the investments needed to provide an efficient navigation system on the Ohio River Mainstem through This project represents a reinvestment in the river transportation infrastructure.

The Russell-Allison-Ambraw Levee Rehabilitation Project is located in Lawrence County, Illinois on the right bank of the Wabash River. The project consists of rehabilitation work to the existing levee, which was damaged in the 2017 Flood Event. Repairs include completely removing the failing triple sewer structure; installing three new 72-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipes; and constructing a new earthen levee section. Public Law FY 2017 Activities: The Project Information Report (PIR) was compiled by the Project Delivery Team and approved in July 2017.The plans and specifications for the levee repairs were completed and the construction contract was advertised. FY 2018 Planned Activities: The construction contract was awarded on 11 October of the recommended repairs will be completed in FY18. Substantial completion is scheduled for March FY 2019 Planned Activities: Project will be completed in FY2018. Once the repairs are completed, the Non-Federal Sponsor will be responsible for operation and maintenance. Concerns in substantially completing the project are below-freezing temperatures which will make concrete, flowable fill, and levee placement more challenging. The work remains urgent in order to complete the work prior to potential flooding. Congressional Interests: Senator Richard Durbin Senator Tammy Duckworth Representative John Shimkus (IL-15)
