Construction Closures<br />
LPV<br />
LPV 09.2 – East side Duncan Pump Station there is a 40’construction access point. Closure<br />
consists of hescos deployed prior to a storm event.<br />
LPV 17.2 - There is a 33’ construction access point. Closure consists of a steel gate which is<br />
already on site and has been test fitted.<br />
WBV<br />
WBV 09c – Hwy 23 gate fix is being done on site and plan is to hang gate prior to a storm event.<br />
Back-up plan to use an engineered construction closure that consists of 127’ of hescos to be<br />
deployed as a storm event approaches in case issues arise with hanging the gate.<br />
WBV 73 – There is a 180’ construction gap remaining on the bypass lanes that will be closed by<br />
hescos that will be deployed as a storm event approaches.<br />
WBV 16b – There is a 65’ construction gap that will be closed with an engineered construction<br />
closure which consists of RIBS (Rapid Installation Barrier System) deployed prior to a storm<br />
event. Materials are on hand.<br />
WBV 16.2 – There is a 30’ construction gap will be closed with an engineered construction<br />
closure that consists of hescos prior to a storm event.<br />

Preparedness Planning<br />
► Developing interim operating procedures for the IHNC and WCC basins<br />
► Managing construction closure plans for ongoing contracts, coordinating<br />
necessary closures with the local sponsors<br />
► Coordinating hurricane response plans with the local levee districts and the State<br />
► Updating a closure tracking system (LIMS) for all HSDRRS openings with SLFPA<br />
E&W and the State of LA<br />
Preparedness Exercises<br />
► 28 March - 4 April – Division Level Tabletop exercise<br />
• Simulation run from 6 days before through landfall<br />
• Designed to test key decision making and coordination<br />
► 10 May – <strong>District</strong> Level Tabletop Hurricane Exercise<br />
► 13-14 June – Hurricane Teams training<br />
► 18-19 June – <strong>District</strong> Full Hurricane Exercise including structure test closures<br />
► Ongoing tests at Outfall Canals, WCC, Seabrook and IHNC leading up<br />
to and throughout hurricane season<br />
