12 Texas Gulf Coast Means Ways End Process Improvement CW Transformation Communication Strategic Partnerships Transparency Stakeholder Community of Practice Improve our Ports (Deepen / Widen / Safety / Capacity) Sustain Federal Projects (Dredging / PA Mgmt / GIWW maintenance) Support non-federal Investment (Regulatory, Outgrants, SEC 204/408, MOAs) Protect our Shorelines (Storm Damage, Ecosystem Restoration, Levee Cert) The Texas Coast navigation system is protected & resilient, positioned for sustainable economic growth with strategic partnerships that support non-federal investment.
13 USACE Southwestern Division Regional Priority Port of Houston Port of Port Arthur Port of Beaumont Port of Texas City Port of Galveston Matagorda Port Freeport Port of Victoria Sabine Neches Waterway Houston Galveston Navigation Channel Port of Corpus Christi Matagorda Ship Channel Channel to Freeport Gulf of Mexico Texas is #2 in the nation for maritime commerce, accounts for more than $400 billion in economic value and 2.3 million jobs nationally which helps to generate more than $34 billion in local and state tax revenue each year. Corpus Christi Ship Channel When the Panama Canal Expansion opens in 2016, ports must expand their capacity via land-and-waterside improvements to accept these ships. The Texas navigation system has post-panamax projects ready for construction and studies are completed for deepening Port Freeport, Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the Sabine-Neches Waterway to depths that would allow post -Panamax ships to call. Port of Brownsville Mexico Brazos Island Harbor Legend Current Depth Authorized Depth Ongoing Studies

15 Multipurpose Reservoir & Water Supply Means Ways End Communication Transparency TWCA TWDB TRISTATE REGIONS Sustain Long-range Planning (3-5 years) Major Maintenance and Routine Maintenance Planning Budgets Modify Water supply contracts Dam Safety IRRMS and Major Rehab Reallocation Studies Enable Incorporating Lessons-learned Adopting Best Practices Planning support Regulatory Policy/Legislation Sustainable infrastructure and be relevant to water supply in Texas. 15
16 Water Supply in USACE Reservoirs 9.3 Million Acre-Feet of Storage for Municipal, Industrial or Agricultural Use - 36% of potable water for Texas - 35% of potable water for Oklahoma - 50% of potable water for Kansas 16
17 WRRDA 2014 Water Supply and Reservoirs Deauthorizations & Backlog Prevention Dam Safety Regulatory & 408 Project Development and Delivery (Including Planning) Alternative Financing Navigation Non-Federal Implementation Levee Safety Credits 17
18 Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014 Water Infrastructure P3 Pilot Program ( 5014) Authorizes Secretary of the Army to enter into agreements with non-federal interests, including private entities, to deliver and finance construction of at least 15 water resources projects Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) WIFIA credit facility contemplates loans, lines of credit, and loan guarantees to support water infrastructure projects of national and regional significance (including flood damage reduction, restoration of aquatic ecosystems, improvements to inland and intracoastal waterway navigation systems, wastewater treatment works, desalination plants, etc.) Program Reforms & Streamlining WRRDA offers a variety of other initiatives and authorities to facilitate and/or enable alternative resourcing and delivery. Relevant examples include 1008 (Expediting Hydropower at Corps of Engineers Facilities), 1014 (Study and Construction of Water Resources Development Projects by Non-Federal Interests), 1022 (Credit in Lieu of Reimbursement), 1043 (Non-Federal Implementation Pilot Program), and 6002 (Review of Corps of Engineers Assets) 18
19 Why Alternative Financing for USACE? HYDROPOWER WATER STORAGE AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS COASTAL HARBORS EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE New investment and expertise will assist USACE to: 1. Sustain performance and service levels 2. Extend service life 3. Buy down risk for the nation 4. Reduce life-cycle asset costs 5. Generate cost offsets and promote costrecovery Rehabilitation Risk Management Innovative Procurement New Investments Operation & Maintenance NEW INFRASTRUCTURE New investment and expertise will assist USACE to: 1. Accelerate infrastructure delivery 2. Reduce life-cycle asset costs 3. Advance public benefits 4. Buy down risk for the nation 5. Generate cost offsets and promote costrecovery DAMS & LEVEES FLOOD DAMAGE REDUCTION RECREATION INLAND WATERWAYS Alternative Financing is viewed as an additional tool to help USACE deliver critical infrastructure and services to the nation. 19

21 Alternative Financing Demonstration Projects Whitter Narrows (FRM) Fargo Moorhead (FRM) List of Projects Sabine Neches (NAV) Great Lakes (NAV) IL Waterways (NAV) Recreation (REC) WD Mayo (Hydro) 21
22 Alternative Financing Way Ahead PROJECT Accelerating Existing / Creating New Benefit Streams Capturing Funding Streams Establish Partnerships Development of Business Case Authorities (Fed/State/Local) Corps Implementation Contributed Funds Advance Funds In-Kind Services P3 Everything is on the table!! 22
23 And Then There Is Clean Water (CW) Rule Provide needed clarification following Supreme Court rulings in 2001 & 2006 Ensure that regulated waters are: more precisely defined more predictable easier for businesses & industry to understand consistent with the law & the latest science Final CW Rule Posted on US EPA website 27 May Final CW Rule published in Federal Register 29 June 2015 Rule effective 28 August days following publication in Federal Register on Sec 7001 WRRDA 2014 NF entities recommend study authorities / modifications to existing water resources projects Proposals due 23 September 2015
