1 Achievement in Advocating for Higher Investment in the Inland Waterways Michael J. Toohey, President/CEO, WCI Rail Supply Chain Summit June 15, 2016

2 WCI s three-legged stool approach to advocacy to achieve outcomes: DIRECT LOBBYING GRASSROOTS MEDIA 2

3 OUTCOMES AND ACHIEVEMENTS WRRDA was signed into law by President Obama on June 10. Meanwhile, many of America s businesses ship their goods across the country by river and by canal, so we ve got to make sure that those waterways are in tip-top shape. President Obama, June 10, 2014

4 WRRDA incorporates elements of the Capital Development Plan: Prioritize navigation projects Reforms to project delivery process Federalize Olmsted cost-share Define major rehabilitation from IWTF

5 USER FEE INCREASE = INCREASED INVESTMENT WCI had long urged an increase to the Inland Waterways Fuel User Fee by 6- to 9-cents/gallon on diesel fuel consumed by commercial vessels while operating on the inland waterways of the U.S. Only in Washington... In the last act of the lame duck session of Congress (2014), a 45% increase to our user fee (to 29-cents-per-gallon) was passed as part of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014.

6 Keeping our Inland Waterways Systems Thriving: Will Protect Over 541,000 American Jobs Investing in America s Inland Waterways Keeps the Economy and Jobs Afloat In 2010, the Inland Waterways Users Board approved and adopted a report prepared by a Corps of Engineers-industry team of experts titled, Inland Marine Transportation System (IMTS) Capital Projects Business Model Report that proposed a series of navigation system investments over a 20-year period. For the purposes of the university study, these 21 lock and dam projects were examined, but on an accelerated 10-year completion basis. At a cost of only $8 billion to finish all projects in the CDP...

16 CHALLENGE: Aging Infrastructure

17 CHALLENGE: The Trouble with Aging The 12,000 miles of our navigable inland waterways system touch 38 states and carry approximately 565 million tons of freight annually. The 242 locks and dams are maintained and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The oldest of these, the Elizabeth Lock and Dam (L/ D#3) in Pittsburgh, opened to traffic in 1906, but most were built in the 1930s and 40s. The aging infrastructure as a whole is in critical need of modernization, without which the inland waterways system will cease to provide reliable freight transportation capacity.

18 Challenge: Public Private Partnerships WRRDA Directive: at least 15 P3 from Corps Civil Works Mission Focus (WRDA 2016) on Illinois Waterway: either for major rehabilitation and/or 2 new 1200 locks Toll or lockage fee $42M $277M/year depending on option selected Corps lacks authority to charge tolls, fees, taxes (WRDA 16 target provision) Action: Opposition to tolling/lockage fees to pay for P3

19 2016 Goals and Objectives Goal: Fiscal Year 2017 (FY 17) Energy and Water Appropriations of the full amount supportable by diesel fuel tax going into the Inland Waterways Trust Fund Objective: FY 17 funding of $225 million for Olmsted Lock and Dam with cost sharing of 85% General Fund / 15% Inland Waterways Trust Fund Objective: FY 17 funding of at least $167 million for other inland waterways priority capital projects including at least $66 million for Lower Mon Locks and Dams, $52 million for Kentucky Lock and Dam, and $19 million for Chickamauga Lock and Dam and $28 million for LaGrange Lock Rehabilitation.

20 2016 Goals and Objectives Goal: Obtain Funding in FY 2017 for NESP Objective: PED funding of at least $10 million to continue pre-construction engineering and design (PED) for those locks where PED has already begun Goal: FY 17 increase in overall Corps Civil Works Program O&M funding (FY 16 received $3.137 billion), including increased funding for the Navigation mission (FY16 received $2.3 billion) Objective: FY 17 appropriations of at least $800 million for inland waterways O&M Objective: FY 17 Energy and Water appropriations of the full amount targeted in WRRDA 2014 from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Objective: Evaluation of Corps nationwide assessment of O&M priorities for inland waterways transportation system

21 2016 Goals and Objectives Goal: Increase the threshold of when a project is considered major rehabilitation Objective: The Inland Waterways Trust Fund cost shares the construction of new projects as well as major rehabilitation projects on the inland waterway system. WCI is advocating that the appropriate major rehabilitation threshold should be changed from $20 million to $50 million in WRDA 2016

22 2016 Goals and Objectives Goal: Authorize Calcasieu Lock, Louisiana, Chief s Report in WRDA 2016 Goal: Complete Corps project study & approval process on all inland waterways navigation projects without unreasonable delays or deviations from established procedures so that all projects may be considered for authorization by Congress at earliest opportunity Goal: Support AWO s Unlock Our Jobs coalition efforts, to control invasive species on the inland waterways system
