Abstract
Status of the National Levee Database
Track: Federal Enterprise Systems
Author(s): Bryan Baker
Beginning in FY06 the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) received the mandate and resources to design and assemble a National Levee Database (NLD). The initial task in FY06 was to survey Corps Districts to identify all Federal levees in the Corps program. In FY07 the development of the levee database model was completed. This data model was coordinated with FEMA and pilot collection was conducted on five districts in FY2007. A total of 9800 miles of approximately 14,000 miles of Corps program levees will have been inventoried by the end of 2008. In addition to the inventory, new Levee Inspection Software was fielded that utilizes the geospatial data in the NLD, to ensure uniform routine inspection of the Corps program levees. Geospatial and other collected data that are part of the NLD will be available to project stakeholders through a worldwide-web accessible application.
