5-Year Maintenance Planning for Non-Routine Navigation • Laura Hicks, Margie McGill, and Robert Leach initiated effort: • Integrate/present unconstrained budget needs for Snake & Columbia River infrastructure • Speeds and improves funding for system-wide maintenance efforts…Northwestern Division and HQUSACE using information to pursue funding • Successfully targeted specific projects, e.g. Channel Deepening and LoMo rehab
2008-2009 Urgent & Compelling • CRCIP Channel Deepening 08, 09 • LoMo DS Gate - interim repairs 08, 09 • LoMo Major Rehab 08, 09, 10 • Bonneville Old Navlock, Ambursen Section 09, 10, 11 & Closure Mono 18 • CRCIP Channel Deepening 09, 10 • LoMo Downstream Gate Interim Repairs 09 • LoMo Major Rehab 09, 10, 11 • Lo Granite Floating Bulkhead Repairs 09, 10 • Lo Granite Lock Electrical System 10, 11 • McNary Lock Derrick Crane Repair 09 • McNary Monolith Joints (repair leaks) 09, 10 • McNary Wall Armor 09, 10 • McNary Lock Electrical Distribution 09, 10 • McNary Bascule Bridge Electrical System 09, 10 • McNary Water Damaged Electrical Equipment 09, 10
5-Year Planning (cont) • Continue 5-year effort • Integrate/prioritize Portland and Walla Walla non-routine navigation requirements • Present NWD w/integrated list…NWD approves • Projects prioritized 1-N (versus grouped) • Program 3-7 years out…continuously tweak • Constrained (versus unconstrained) • Develop earlier and continuous program coordination w/PNWA and other stakeholders
