ER Chapter 9 Updates Dam Safety Modification Studies Focus This briefing is for communication purposes only. It does not supersede the currently approved ER The proposed revisions may change prior to final approval. Always consult to approved version of ER for official guidance.

ER Chapter 9 Updates Dam Safety Modification Studies  DSM Reports are decision documents used to address the associated risks of a dam and identify and recommend an alternative risk management plan that supports the expeditious and cost effective reduction of risk.  DSM Report replaces: ► Major Rehabilitation Reports ► Dam Safety Assurance Reports ► Project Operations – Partners and Support (Work Management Studies)

ER Chapter 9 Updates Dam Safety Modification Studies Study Process Flowchart

DSM projects are prioritized by the DSOG based on the DSAC rating and an assessment of the baseline risk. Study funds provided by the Dam Safety & Seepage/Stability Correction Program (WEDGE). The RMC manages the study queue and the funding based on DSOG prioritization. Funding Approved Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

DSMS Scope: Encompasses all structural and non-structural project modifications needed to address dam safety. o Exception: Potential operational failures identified by risk assessment that do not directly impact life safety or catastrophic failure are generally not addressed in a DSM Report. Start DSMS Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Start-Up Actions / General Roles & Responsibilities: District manages and executes the study, formulates and manages the PDT, assigns a PM, prepares the PMP and RP, and coordinates in- progress reviews DSMMCX provides oversight by participating on Vertical Teams, provides technical assistance through PED and Construction, and establishes and executes ATR in coordination with RMO and PCX DSPC ensures appropriate Technical PDT members and Lead Engineer are assigned to project and prepares the DSM Report Start DSMS (cont.) Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

District PDT hosts Kickoff Meeting w/ Vertical Team: Regional DSPC, MCX, MSC, RMC, HQ, others … Kickoff Meeting Purpose: Discuss proposed PMP prior to approval by the DSO (includes DSPM and RIT) and acts as official start of the DSMS. Review comments must be submitted to the District within 30 days or district may proceed with submitted plan. Upload approved PMP to RADS. Kickoff Meeting Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

RMC assigns a Risk Cadre to perform a new or update an existing risk assessment. Risk Cadre ensures that all significant failure modes have been properly evaluated during the PFMA and are carried forward into the DSMS. Cadre estimates existing and future without action risks. Cadre evaluates effectiveness of IRRM’s and recommends plan revisions if necessary. Estimate Existing and Future w/out Action Risks Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

The District, in coordination with the DSPC will prepare a Review Plan in accordance with EC This plan includes all levels of review from DQC, ATR, DSOG, through IEPR. Start ATR of Risk Assessment Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

District hosts in-progress review meeting with Vertical Team after Baseline Risk has been established. Purpose of meeting is to brainstorm and identify the most appropriate Risk Management Measures to carry forward into the development of alternatives. Risk Management Measures Identification Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Formulate Alternative Risk Management Plans Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates PDT is responsible for the overall development of alternatives; both non-structural/structural measures are to be given equal consideration. Preliminary E&D work must be conducted during this step to provide a comparable “level of detail” for all alternatives. Consider the constructability and cost of each alternative and the amount of relative risk reduction.

Formulate Alternative Risk Management Plans (cont.) Minimum Required Alternatives to consider are: No Action Alternatives (existing and future conditions) Meeting full Tolerable Risk Guidelines including ALARP Achieving only Tolerable Risk Limit for Life Safety Making the IRRM’s permanent Removing the structure Replacing the structure Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Risk Management Plan Meeting Lead Engineer briefs Vertical Team on the various risk reduction alternatives and the initial screening of alternatives are presented and discussed. Each plan is compared to the Future Without Action Condition Outcome will be an agreement on those alternatives that will be carried forward and the appropriate level of design, cost estimates, economic, and environmental impacts of each. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Evaluate Alternative Risk Management Plans Risk Cadre works closely with PDT to evaluate and compare the various risk reduction plans, (including the No Action plan). Evaluation factors based on life safety, annual Pf, and relationship to TRG’s, ALARP considerations, and essential engineering guidelines. Risk Reduction Plans are compared to each other resulting in a ranking of plans based on incremental risk reductions and associated cost.

Tentatively Select the Recommended Plan Risk Management plan selected from all alternatives using ranking as a guide. Vertical Team meets to confirm that the selected plan meets applicable laws, statutes, Executive Orders, regulations, and current policy. Opportunity to identify and resolve any legal or policy concerns that could delay approval of the final report and release of the NEPA document to the public. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

DSOG Endorsement of Tentatively Selected Plan and the ‘Draft’ DSMR Lead Engineer and District DSO present all the Alternatives and the Tentatively Selected Plan to the DSOG prior to finalizing ATR. They also present the major ATR comments, how they were resolved, and any unresolved issues. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

District finishes ‘draft’ DSMR, DQC, and ATR/QCC (cont.) District must complete DQC review prior to start of ATR. The RMC is the responsible RMO for coordinating and managing ATR in accordance with EC The MCX will primarily establish ATR teams and execute ATR in coordination with the RMO and appropriate PCX in accordance with ER The RMO ensures that the DSPC is included in Technical Evaluation. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Final DRAFT Deliverables Inundation Risk Fact Sheet Communication tool for media and general public. (IE: public affairs pamphlet) Dam Safety Action Decision Summary (DSADS) Stand alone document used to inform and assist Senior Leaders with making dam safety decisions. Suitable for release to local sponsors, stakeholders, resource agencies, etc. Level of detail not intended for media and general public. DSMR Documentation The decision document that contains both the technical alternative evaluation, preliminary design work, and risk assessment documentation. DSMR of FOUO and not intended for public release.

HQ conducts Policy Compliance Review HQ conducts Agency Policy Compliance Review as per mission requirements. HQ DSPM provides the RIT with copies of the DSMR and will log the report in with the Office of Water Project Review indicating the appropriate recommended reviewers. Policy Compliance Review typically occurs concurrently with DSOG Review. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Draft DSM Report Revisions Policy, Legal, and Technical issues must be resolved prior to presentation to DSOG. If the district is unable to resolve Policy, Legal, or technical issues, they should first work thru their Vertical Team and RIT for resolution. If resolution cannot be obtained, a DSOG Review can be requested. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Dam Senior Oversight Group (DSOG) Review District DSO and Lead Engineer present report findings and technical justification for implementing the recommended risk reduction plan to DSOG. DSOG provides technical and policy recommendations to the HQUSACE DSO Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Are Risk Reduction Actions Justified ? DSOG and DSO determine path forward (approve or revise) following the briefing and discussion. DSOG determines nature and priority of actions with respect to national portfolio Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

DSMR Recommended for Approval District DSO, MSC DSO, and DSOG Chair sign joint memorandum recommending approval of the proposed modification plans. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Approval of DSM Report USACE DSO has been delegated approval authority from ASA-CW and is the responsible approval official for DSM reports. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Notify USACE & MSC Commanders DSOG Chairman notifies the ASA-CW, USACE Commander, and the MSC Commander, via formal Memorandum, that DSM Report has been approved. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

Notify USACE & MSC Commanders DSOG Chairman notifies the ASA-CW, USACE Commander, and the MSC Commander, via formal Memorandum, that DSM Report has been approved. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

ASA-CW Concurrence DSOG Chairman notifies the ASA-CW via formal Memorandum, that DSM Report has been approved. Memo requests concurrence for Civil Works budgeting as construction CG line Item. ASA-CW often requests additional briefings and coordination. Districts may have to provide technical support for these requests. Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates

DSM Study Complete USACE DSPM enters project funding request into budget cycle for CG appropriations. During 2-year budget cycle, WEDGE funds can be used to advance preconstruction engineering and design (PED) activities until the project receives a line item in the CG budget appropriation. PED cannot begin without ASA- CW concurrence Dam Safety Modification Study ER Updates
