Permanent Protection System Opinion of Probable Cost May 2010 Courtesy USACE Photograph Courtesy USACE

Canals A large portion of the storm water runoff in New Orleans drains to the 17 th Street Canal, Orleans Avenue Canal and the London Avenue Canal A portion of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana drains to the 17 th Street Canal Lake Pontchartrain DPS 6 DPS 3 DPS 4 17 th Street Canal Orleans Avenue Canal London Avenue Canal DPS 7 Jefferson Parish Orleans Parish

Canals The canals have levees and floodwalls that extend from the existing interior pump stations to Lake Pontchartrain The levee and flood wall system is part of the existing Flood Protection System During Hurricane Katrina breaches in the levee system occurred on the London Avenue Canal and the 17 th Street Canal contributing to large scale flooding of New Orleans DPS 6 DPS 7 DPS 3 DPS 4 17 th Street Canal Orleans Avenue Canal London Avenue Canal Jefferson Parish Orleans Parish Lake Pontchartrain

Interim Control Structure (ICS) After Hurricane Katrina, the USACE built Interim Control Structure (ICS) facilities at the mouth of each canal to provide temporary protection The ICS facilities have gates and pumps Normally water flows by gravity from the existing interior pumping stations through the gated structure into Lake Pontchartrain The pumps only operate when the gates are closed in the event of a storm surge in Lake Pontchartrain Courtesy USACE

Permanent Protection System In June 2006, Congress passed Public Law giving the Corps authorization and appropriations of approximately $800 million to design and construct a permanent protection system for the outfall canals – specifically to, “…modify the 17th Street, Orleans Avenue, and London Avenue drainage canals and install pumps and closure structures at or near the lakefront...” The USACE identified three options to provide permanent protection for the outfall canals – Options 1, 2 and 2a. The USACE identified the cost for each option as follows: USACE Cost Estimate Option 1$800 Million Option 2$3.4 Billion Option 2a$3.6 Billion Courtesy USACE

Opinion of Probable Cost The Sewerage & Water Board of New Orleans (S&WB), Jefferson Parish Department of Public Works (JPDPW), Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East (SLFPA-E), and the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) retained AECOM to provide an Opinion of Probable Cost for Options1, 2 and 2a. AECOM was given a time line of 60 days to complete the Opinion.

Option 1: New Permanent Gated Pump Stations Permanent gates and pump stations to replace the ICS facilities Includes adaptability, such that the station can be readily modified in the future to include deepened canals Deep foundation eliminates the need for significant foundation modifications to accommodate Options 2 or 2a Existing floodwalls that flank the three outfall canals to be left in place The existing drainage pump stations would continue to operate to lift water to lake level and provide gravity flow through the new gates The new pump stations would operate only during conditions that require closure of the new surge gates The new pump stations required to work in concert with the existing interior stations to maintain safe water elevations in the canals.

Option 2: New Replacement Pump Stations with Deepened Outfall Canals Construct new pump stations without gates Deepen the canals from the existing DPS facilities to Lake Pontchartrain Demolish the existing ICS Facilities Bypass and decommission the existing DPS facilities Eliminate nearly thirteen miles of levees and floodwalls Seepage cutoff will be required along the entire length to prevent drawdown of groundwater on the land side of the canals

Option 2a – Construction of New Replacement Pump Stations and the Addition of a Pump Station at Hoey’s Basin that Pumps to the Mississippi River Option 2a is similar to Option 2 providing permanent pump stations at the Lake Pontchartrain end of the deepened outfall canals Addition of a new pump station in the Hoey’s Basin area of Jefferson Parish to intercept approximately 20 percent of the drainage from the 17th Street Canal and divert the flow directly to the Mississippi River Diversion of flow from Jefferson Parish to the Mississippi River will reduce the size of the 17th Street Canal and new permanent pump station The Orleans Avenue and London Avenue canals would be the same size as in Option 2

Deepen the Canals AECOM considered alternative methods for deepening the outfall canals to identify a more cost effective method in developing the cost for Options 2 and 2a. Each alternative required groundwater cut off and canal liner options. A method to cut off groundwater is necessary AECOM looked at several methods to provide groundwater cutoff including: –Slurry wall –Diaphragm wall –Sealed joint interlocking sheetpile wall Basis for the Opinion of Probable Cost used the sealed joint interlocking sheetpile cutoff wall as the least cost alternative

Deepen the Canals The ability to isolate groundwater effects from the canal provides an avenue to install several different types of canal liner options without buoyant uplift and tie down restraint The Opinion of Probable Cost includes evaluation of four linings for the deepened canals in Options 2 and 2a, as follows: 1.Timber pile supported concrete flume 2.Concrete liner flume with no pile support 3.Prefabricated concrete mat liner 4.Clay liner The Clay Liner was found to be the most cost effective liner option and was used in the development of the Opinion of Probable Cost as the least cost alternative
