  1. CPRA Implementation Presentation to the CPRA May 21, 2008

  2. Pre-Katrina Structure and State Agency Functions • Lack of capacity to fully participate as the Corps of Engineers’ counterpart • Lack of expertise within state government • Inability to represent state prerogatives and priorities • Failures on both day-to-day operations and maintenance and emergency operations

  3. Post-Katrina Reality of Funding

  4. State Budgets for Hurricane & Flood Protection and Coastal Restoration

  5. Challenges to the Jindal Administration’s Successful Implementation of CPRA Master Plan Currently, Louisiana state government has: • A lack of expertise and capacity • Inefficient and redundant processes Corps and state • Inconsistent state policies resulting from multiple state agency project participation • Inability to be equal partners with the Corps • Turnover/competition: Qualified agency staff lured by higher paying jobs with the Corps or private sector

  6. Independent Levee Investigation Team. Final Report: Investigation of the Performance of the New Orleans Flood Protection Systems in Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005 “Particular attention must be paid to interfaces and interdependencies in this system.” “Selective re-establishment of natural coastal defenses and wetlands, and restored floodplains to provide for river floods, should be supplemented with engineering works that together will have the capabilities of providing desirable and acceptable levels of flood protection.”

  7. U.S. Government Accountability Office. Strategic Planning Needed to Guide Future Enhancements Beyond Interim Levee Repairs “The Corps Lacks a Comprehensive Approach for Planning and Managing the Multiple Restoration, Construction, and Future Enhancements Proposed for Southeastern Louisiana Hurricane Protection. “A comprehensive strategy is needed that includes an integrated approach for all projects and plans for rebuilding and strengthening the system.”

  8. American Society of Civil Engineers, Hurricane Katrina External Review Panel. The New Orleans Hurricane Protection System: What Went Wrong and Why “The hurricane protection system, however, is a system in name only. In reality, it is a disjoined agglomeration of many individual projects that were conceived and constructed in a piecemeal fashion. Parts were then joined together in ‘make do’ arrangements. “Local, state, and federal leaders should review the overall strategy and systems approach, integrating hurricane protection tactics, land-use considerations, and emergency response strategies into a coherent and well-thought-out-system.”

  9. Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force. Performance Evaluation of the New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana Hurricane Protection System. Final Report “Designs should be based on a system-wide understanding of the processes affecting the system and the interaction and interdependencies of the system components. System Based Approach – Hurricane protection systems must have a unified, integrated, comprehensive system based approach.Planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance should be based on a system-wide understanding of the processes affecting the system and the interaction and interdependencies of the system components.” “Sustainability is enhanced through integrated engineering and ecosystem analyses considering a system approach. A cyclic model approach to plan, design, and construct, then monitoring and evaluation system performance over time enables appropriate modification of operation and maintenance to achieve a sustainable system. With the environment an integral component of the system, and asset management used to evaluate the functional reliability of the system infrastructure, safe and sustainable systems will evolve.”

  10. Four Report of the National Academy of Engineering/National Research Council Committee on New Orleans Regional Hurricane Protection Projects: Review of the IPET Volume VIII • “Clearly, a new framework is required to integrate planning, investment and regulatory decisions to secure the multiple purposes of coastal landscape restoration, storm damage reduction and marine transportation.” • “A joint Federal-State body should be given the responsibility to determine the priorities for the integrated management of the coast.

  11. Post-Katrina Expert Reports • As a result of expert recommendations from the National Academy of Sciences, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. Government’s Interagency Performance Evaluation Team and others, the state will pursue an organizational model which will integrate key resources.

  12. Benefit of Integration Integration in Louisiana will bring about additional capacity even without additional resources.

  13. Ratio of T.O. to Budget for Louisiana

  14. Operation and Maintenance Responsibilities

  15. Additional Positions to Be Added Over Time Classified and unclassified staff in DNR and DOTD dedicated to the Integrated Team
