Lower Ohio and Middle Mississippi Rivers Flood Management
"The Great Lakes and Ohio River Division Water Management Team of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is responsible for reducing water level stages along the lower Ohio and middle Mississippi Rivers during significant flood events. To accomplish our mission, we direct the flow releases from Barkley Lake on the Cumberland River and issue regulation instructions to the Tennessee Valley Authority for the operation of Kentucky Lake on the Tennessee River. An effective management tool in coordinating the reservoir releases is a dynamic, one-dimensional unsteady flow model called 'Cascade'. Cascade routes Ohio River and upper Mississippi River flows to determine the impact of reservoir releases on flood levels. We present an overview of our water management operations, the complex issues and constraints, and Cascade. We conclude with a summary of recent past flood operations."

Proceedings of the 1st Army Installation Energy Security and Independence Conference
"This report is about energy security … for mission accomplishment. Is energy security assured by backup generator sets dedicated to individual buildings that are pre-identified as critical assets - with fuel for 3-5 days? Suppose a utility power grid outage occurs. Today it is impossible to locally wheel power from dispersed individual onsite fossil-fueled or renewable power sources to facilities or other power loads … anywhere at any time. Each power source is stranded; powering only one load. Relocating generator sets and engineering their electrical connections to other power loads are not speedy or trivial tasks. There are many mission aspects that go unpowered in a blackout because Army cannot afford backup generator sets for every building, training range, sewer treatment plant, warehouse, motor pool, etc. Even if everything has dedicated backup generators, experience shows that 50 percent will not operate right anyway … and they will run out of gas after 3-5 days. Mission priorities are dynamic; power outages are unpredictable. Commanders must have the ability to wheel dispersed and finite on-installation power anywhere at anytime and to allocate stored fuels for extended outages. A new vision of energy security is needed for the asymmetrical threats and dynamics of the GWOT era."

Protecting Secure Facilities from Underground Intrusion Using Seismic/Acoustic Sensor Arrays
"The necessity to detect tunnels that penetrate secure facilities such as detention centers, government offices, borders, or forward operating bases (FOBs) has developed from the need to deter or counter underground exploitation along the southern United States border, Iraq, and other facilities. The United States Army has been in the tunnel detection business for many years, to include providing support to other government agencies in locating tunnels along our southwest border. Iraq became an issue with the nearly successful escape from a tunnel constructed over several months by detainees in an Iraqi center. A team of researchers was sent to Iraq to investigate the utility of several technologies that perhaps could detect voids as small as 1 meter in diameter. A third technology investigated was a passive seismic/acoustic array. The team built a 7-meter-deep tunnel at the same depth as the escape tunnel. The array was tested around the camp to garner the seismic and acoustic characteristics of the typical vehicles and machinery and their interactions with the soil and each other. The in-tunnel tests were conducted using typical digging tools available to the detainees. All of these signals were then used to 'train' the computer algorithms. Plans were laid for a larger study and more detailed sediment and mineral studies. There is a definite requirement to thoroughly understand the interactions between sound propagation and the local geology and geochemistry of the sediments."

After Action Report: May 2010 Flood Event Cumberland River Basin, 1-3 May 2010, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division [November 2010]
"The Corps values continuous improvement, transparency and accountability to the nation. Following the May 2010 Flood event, the Corps committed to an objective review of this agency's role before, during and after the event. We are equally committed to sharing these findings with the public. We are and will continue to work to improve our procedures for the future. This After Action Report (AAR) demonstrates the first step in fulfilling that commitment. It captures twenty-seven lessons learned from this event and details what worked and needs to continue and what did not work and needs to be improved. The specific mission and activities of the Corps during periods of flooding are outlined by several guiding laws. The Corps regulates each flood risk reduction and navigation project in accordance with the provisions of its authorizing legislation as well as specific water management criteria defined in reports approved during the planning and design phases of a project or system. The Corps provides support to the state Emergency Management Agencies as authorized by Public Law (PL) 84-99 by providing technical and material assistance for flood fighting. Public Law 93-288, the Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, authorizes the Corps to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as the lead agency in Emergency Support Function."

Draft: Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Technical Report
"The purpose of this Technical Report is to describe the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration (LACPR) effort that is being undertaken in response to the Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act of 2006 passed in November 2005 and the Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic and Influenza Act, 2006 passed on December 30, 2005, as part of the Defense Appropriations Act, P.L 109-148. Under these acts, Congress and the President directed the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers to conduct a comprehensive hurricane protection analysis and design; to develop a full range of flood control, coastal restoration, and hurricane protection measures exclusive of normal policy considerations for South Louisiana; and to submit a final technical report for 'Category 5' protection within 24 months. […] Additional time is needed to complete a comprehensive hurricane analysis and design for South Louisiana due to the engineering, environmental, and economic complexities. This Technical Report expands on information presented in the LACPR Preliminary Technical Report that was submitted to Congress in July 2006 as well as the April 2007 LACPR Plan Formulation Atlas. The LACPR Preliminary Technical Report and Plan Formulation. […] This report describes the methodologies used to perform the technical evaluation and the process for using this information to engage decision makers, stakeholders, and the public in future decisions for reducing risk to South Louisiana. This report also discusses the path forward with stakeholders and decision makers to complete the planning process and to make recommendations."

Bridging the Gap in Homeland Security: 62D Engineer Battalion Helps Secure the Nation's Borders
"In late summer of 2003, the U.S. Border Patrol, Del Rio (Texas) Sector Headquarters, requested assistance from Joint Task Force-North (formerly known as Joint Task Force-Six) to have a military engineer unit construct a bridge over Cuevas Creek on the U.S.-Mexican border near El Indio, Texas. The bridge would reduce the response time between two border patrol stations, increasing the capability to apprehend illegal immigrants of many nationalities and to interdict drug traffic. The U.S. Border Patrol frequently requests military support from Joint Task Force-North, which detects, monitors, and supports the interdiction of suspected transnational threats within and along the approaches to the continental United States. The task force fuses and disseminates intelligence, contributes to the common operating picture, coordinates support to lead federal agencies, and supports security cooperation initiatives to secure the homeland and enhance regional security."

Hurricane Survey: Colonial Beach, Westmoreland County, Virginia
"This report presents the results from studies of hurricane tidal flooding and wave damage to the Town of Colonial Beach, Virginia, and adjacent areas. The purpose is to present the findings of this extended reconnaissance survey and recommendations for reduction of damages during future hurricanes. [...] The purpose of this investigation is to determine the advisability of hurricane protection works for the Town of Colonial Beach, Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was found that the town is subject to severe damage from tides, waves and winds, but that the construction of protective works including floodwalls, levees and gated barrier is not economically feasible. Accordingly, the authorization of a hurricane protection project is not recommended. Damages from future hurricanes could be reduced by raising roads and adopting zoning regulations. It is recommended that the report be published and distributed to appropriate local interests to serve as a guide in development of flood plain regulation, zoning ordinances, building codes, evacuation plans and other safety measures."

Hurricane Katrina Catastrophic Sheltering Plan for 50,000 Citizens
"This document has been created at the request of FEMA and outlines a method of housing 50,000 citizens in a very short order of time. It is meant to provide immediate temporary housing for citizens in or near communities capable of supporting a fairly large influx of people. It is understood that in the Hurricane Katrina event FEMA has awarded 5 Individual Assistance- Technical Assistance Contracts (IA-TAC) and that these contractors will likely be directed to implement this plan. COE participation at this time is expected to be limited to technical review of contract execution documents, quality assurance of construction in the field, participation of contractor led strike teams, and NEPA compliance review. Strike team responsibilities include assessment of potential sites for construction of temporary housing and should be provided with the site assessment criteria in this document (Attachment D). It is further understood that FEMA Housing Area Command (HAC) has the responsibility to authorize implementation of this plan through their IA-TAC contractors or through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The use of a military battalion construction group may be also considered by FEMA although it is recognized that FEMA does not have authority to directly task a military command."

Upper Mississippi River System Flow Frequency Study
"The study area includes the main-stem Upper Mississippi, Lower Missouri, and Illinois Rivers. The Upper Mississippi is that portion of the river above the mouth of the Ohio River and includes the Illinois River. The Lower Missouri is that portion of the river below Gavins Point Dam. The Study was carried out using best available data and advanced modeling technologies. Nationally and internationally recognized scientists in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics provided direct guidance to the study via two technical advisory committees. Additional technical and floodplain management expertise was brought to bear through a standing Federal and State Interagency task force. Study results have undergone two independent technical reviews. Multiple levels of review support the accuracy of the results. The Corps and partnering State and Federal agencies have analyzed the effects of reductions in flood runoff attributable to flood control reservoirs, considered potential effects of levee overtopping and/or breaches, and have selected the appropriate hydraulic model to develop water surface profiles for a range of flow frequencies."

Review of the Regulation of the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System During the Flood of 2011
"In 2011 the mainstem Missouri River Reservoir System experienced the largest volume of flood waters since the initiation of record-keeping in the nineteenth century. […] As a result of its experiences during the flood, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) appointed a panel to conduct an independent technical review of its operations of the reservoir system during the flood event. The panel was appointed in September of 2011 and held its first meeting in early October in Omaha, Nebraska. Members of the panel represent Federal agencies with missions in water data and studies and Colorado State University. The panel's work was conducted independently from the Corps and is similar to a technical performance audit. [...] During October and November the panel reviewed documents and studies, interviewed staff of the Corps and other agencies and offices as well as members of the public, visited reservoir sites, and attended public meetings. The expertise of each member of the panel was applied to the assessment of elements of Corps' operations, and the panel members considered the full report as a group. In addition to this cross-evaluation of the panel's work, the report was subjected to independent technical peer review arranged by the U.S. Geological Survey. The Corps also was asked to respond to the draft report of the panel by checking for factual errors, breadth of coverage, and whether the report responds fully to the charter presented given to the panel. The panel considered these responses in preparing the final report."

Engineering Life-Cycle Cost Comparison Study of Barrier Fencing Systems
"This report discusses analyses of several fencing system options that would provide both effective and minimum life-cycle cost service for primary, secondary, and tertiary barrier needs. […] The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. Enforcement mainly involves apprehending illegal immigrants and assisting with the interdiction of illegal drug smugglers and suspected terrorists. The United States has approximately 6,000 miles of land-based international border. By far the largest problem with illegal immigration occurs along the 2,000 miles of border with Mexico. Along this border, nearly 90 percent of the apprehensions occur along 200 miles distributed near nine major U.S. cities and towns such as San Diego, CA, and El Paso, TX. Current fencing, where it exists, is often in a severe state of disrepair. To cost effectively increase deterrence against illegal entry, the INS is considering the widespread application of several different fencing systems for these high traffic areas. Little to no detailed engineering-based comparisons have been made for these fencing options so no basis currently exists with which to make an informed decision based on reliability, effectiveness of deterrence, economics, and ability to withstand attack."

Hurricane Isaac With and Without 2012 100-Year HSDRRS Evaluation
"On 29 August 2012, Hurricane Isaac made landfall along and impacted the Louisiana and Mississippi coastline. Impacts to the coastal Louisiana area, including New Orleans and surrounding communities, were considerable. The 2012 greater New Orleans area 100-year Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (100-year HSDRRS) performed to expectations in preventing the Hurricane Isaac storm surge from inundating the areas within the system. However, substantial flooding did occur in areas without federal levee systems, including, but not limited to Slidell, Mandeville, Madisonville, LaPlace, Braithwaite, Lafitte and others. During the design of the 100-year HSDRRS, multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to describe the potential effects of the system on storm surge elevations outside of the system. These modeling efforts predicted that the 100-year HSDRRS would increase the estimated peak water levels generally less than 0.2 feet in communities outside the HSDRRS. However, in response to the substantial flooding outside of the HSDRRS, concerns were raised regarding the effects of the 100-year HSDRRS during Hurricane Isaac on areas outside the system. Local and state officials requested an analysis to assess the effect of the 100-year HSDRRS on certain areas outside the system as a result of Hurricane Isaac. The analyses contained in this assessment were conducted by a team consisting of personnel from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans District, Mississippi Valley Division, and Engineering Research and Development Center, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service. Data were compiled from the Corps of Engineers New Orleans District, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service River Forecast Center in Slidell, LA, National Data Buoy Center, and National Ocean Service, the United States Geological Survey, and the State of Louisiana."

Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment on Shore and Hurricane Wave Protection: Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
"This Feasibility Report presents the results of a study conducted to address the need for beach erosion control, hurricane protection, and related purposes at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Wrightsville Beach is located on the Atlantic Ocean in New Hanover County. It has a permanent population of about 3,000 and a peak summer population of about 25,000. The beach within the existing shore protection project is publicly owned and constitutes 20 percent of the beach area in the State that is readily accessible and open to free public access. Continued existence of the beach and dune system is of vital importance to the economic security and community stability of Wrightsville Beach. There are records of many hurricanes dating back to the early 1700's that have caused severe damage in the Wrightsville Beach area. Most recently, heavy property damage resulted from hurricanes. occurring in 1944, 1954, 1955, 1958, and 1960."

Flood Plain - Handle With Care!
"Almost everyone knows that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers builds dams, dikes and levees. The Corps is famous-or, in the opinion of some of its critics, infamous-for its public works projects designed to control floods. Not so well known, however, is a broader Corps approach to the problem of flooding: a 'management' approach. The management approach to flood problems means identifying the nature of the flood hazard in a specific area. It means using that basic information and common sense to protect lives. And to prevent or minimize damage to land and buildings subject to flooding. In brief, the management approach means wise use of flood plains. This booklet describes, in non-technical language, some of the fundamentals of wise flood plain management. It stresses non-traditional aspects of flood plain management, those that can be undertaken by a community itself. A word of caution, however. This booklet is not a panacea. The Corps, through its Flood Plain Management Services program, can provide information, technical assistance, and planning guidance. But in the final analysis, how a community uses or abuses its flood plain is up to the community itself."
