  1. Laura Hicks Chief, Planning and Project Management Branch Pacific Northwest Waterways Association June 27-29, 2011 Mouth of the Columbia River (MCR) Jetties

  2. Purpose: Project Functions • Stabilize deep-draft navigation channel through a regionally significant ocean inlet • Provide protection from waves and currents for all navigation • Minimize dredging requirements of channel • Minimize structure repair frequency and magnitude

  3. Functioning Jetties at the MCR support the following: • $17 billion in international trade • 45 million tons of cargo1 • 3,500 cargo vessel crossings1 • 1,600 crossings at greater than 30 feet1 • The lives of mariners and fishermen • More than 40,000 maritime-related jobs • 1Data from Waterborne Commerce of the United States, 2008

  10. Dec 2010 May 2010 Note the shoreline in relative to the tree line.

  11. Major Maintenance Report • North Jetty Lagoon and Wetland Fill • Detailed Design Report, Plans & Specifications, Award Contract • Loss of 1.8 acres of wetlands and 4.70 acres of waters of the US. • Locating and developing mitigation site. • Redirecting stream away from lagoon wetlands. • Replacing Jetty Road culvert

  12. North Jetty Lagoon and Wetland Fill

  13. Major Maintenance Report • North Jetty Critical Repairs STA 86 – 99

  14. Major Maintenance Report • North Jetty Critical Repairs STA 86 – 99

  15. Construction Schedule

  16. Major Rehabilitation Report Status: • Draft IEPR report complete • SRB model disapproved • HQUSACE issuing memo regarding model disapproval • Based on a draft memo, district developed a path forward

  17. Major Rehabilitation Report Path Forward: • Break planning model into distinct pieces, separating hazard functions, quantities, cost estimates, progressive damage calculations, etc. • Hire a professional Matlab programmer to work collaboratively with coastal engineer to document and rewrite code. • Coordinate with Division and HQUSACE vertical team to sign off on plan to obtain MRR approvals. Timeline: • Complete updated MMR and engineering analysis by 30 Nov 2011
