35 Metro East Levee Systems Overview The Metro East Levee System consists of five levee projects located in Madison, St. Clair, and Monroe Counties. Wood River Levee, Chain of Rock Levee, East St. Louis Levee Prairie du Pont/ Fish Lake Levees The Metro East Levee System protects 280,000 residents and workers, navigation and transportation, and minimizes job loss Total value of industrial, commercial, and residential property protected is $12.4 Billion Projects are cost shared 65% Federal / 35% Non Federal 4 BUILDING STRONG

36 Project Background Flood of 1993 Equivalent to a 380-year flood event 86.3 percent of levee height inundated Underseepage required extensive flood fighting to maintain protection. The levee system is authorized to protect against stresses greater than those experienced in the 1993 flood. August 2007, FEMA announced levees would be de-accredited as a result of underseepage. July 2009, Southwestern Illinois Flood Prevention District Council was formed to finance, manage and oversee the repair and restoration of the levee systems , USACE completed and approved studies on WR, ESTL, Mel Price, PdP. February 2015, FPD approved Resolution to restore to the Federally Authorized LOP. Underseepage deficiencies corrections on the Metro East Projects are in progress. 5 BUILDING STRONG

37 FPD Objectives Short Term Goals Mandate Corps use of PLAs for construction contracts In process of constructing modifications (9 contracts) to attain 100-year level of protection to meet FEMA accreditation.
