National Levee Database Date Last Updated: 09/05/2012 16:43 Official Project NameNational Levee Database Location Rock Island District State(s) IA IL MO Congressional District(s) IA-1 IA-2 IA-3 IA-4 IL-11 IL-13 IL-14 IL-15 IL-16 IL-17 IL-18 IL-2 IL-3 MN-1 MN-7 MO-6 WI-1 WI-2 WI-3 WI-5 WI-6 Status Field surveying and database development for ~437.1 linear miles of qualifying levee systems along the Upper Mississippi River has been completed. Description The need to develop a comprehensive national levees database was recognized as FEMA's nation-wide digital flood insurance rate map (DFRIM) modernization program advanced. The criticality of this need was brought to the forefront by Hurricane Katrina. Subsequent Congressional action, specifically FY06 supplemental FCCE funding, provided the Corps with the resources necessary to design and build a National Levee Database (NLD). An initial levees survey instrument was fielded to quantify the magnitude of this effort. A USACE Project Development Team (PDT) was then tasked with development of the data model. PBS&J, the national surveying and database development firm, has been contracted to provide support to all aspects of the NLD project. 5 pilot Districts were designated to field test the data model, including development of standard operating procedures for data collection and populating the database. The initial development of the NLD included only those levees active in the Corps' P.L. 84-99 program. There are approximately 829.9 linear miles of levees within in the Rock Island District that qualify for NLD development. Summarized Financial Data
Major Work Item (This Fiscal Year) FY2012: Complete Phase V - field surveying and database development for ~ 161.4 linear miles of levees. Phase V includes the non-mainstem Upper Mississippi River levee systems that are active in the District's P.L. 84-99 program and known to provide or potentially provide protection up to the 1% chance flood event. Continuing maintenance and QA/QC of all NLD data associated with levee systems in the Rock island District. Major Work Item (Next Fiscal Year) FY2013: Continuing database maintenance and QA/QC.
