Lunch is on your own in the Mexican Market.

The tour departs from the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country, where you will board a luxury van for the ride into the city of San Antonio. The first stop on the tour is the border-style El Mercado or Mexican Market. A three-block outdoor plaza lined with restaurants, shops and produce stands Market Square is the largest Mexican market in the U.S. It is one of America’s top -ten outdoor markets according to Frommer’s, and is often the scene of many Hispanic festivals. Dozens of shops sell everything from arts and crafts, to handembroidered clothing, to local produce.

After a leisurely stroll and lunch at one of El Mercado’s authentic Mexican restaurants, guest will get to experience the San Antonio River Walk on a privately chartered River Cruiser. The barge captain will provide historical and entertaining commentary as you pass through the pages of San Antonio history.

The final stop on the tour is the most famous of the San Antonio missions, Mission San Antonio de Valero, better known as the Alamo.

Field Trips San Antonio River Authority Museum Reach and Mission Reach When: Thursday, September 14, 8:00 am - 3:00 pm Registration Information: Registration for the San Antonio River Authority Museum Reach and Mission Reach field trip is $95 per person includes motorcoach transportation, guided facility tours, barge excursion, box lunch and beverages.

The San Antonio River Improvements Project (SARIP) is a $384.1 million investment by Bexar County, the City of San Antonio, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) and the San Antonio River Foundation in flood control, amenities, ecosystem restoration and recreational improvements to the San Antonio River. SARA serves as project manager for all sections of SARIP and as local sponsor with USACE specifically for the Mission Reach.

14

The tour of the Museum Reach will begin on a chartered river barge at the Pearl Turning Basin. The barge will take you down the Museum Reach, through the locks at the lock and dam and culminate with a guided tour of the downtown River Walk as well as several points of interest along the Museum Reach. This lock and dam accommodates elevation change in the upper and lower sections of the river thus allowing barge traffic to travel through both areas.On Mission Reach, attendees will visit Espada Dam, which is the oldest, original dam in the state of Texas built between 1731 and 1745. A tour of the pump station that diverts water from the San Antonio River to the acequias through screw pumps will also be included. Additional key points of interest on the Mission Reach tour include two of the Mission portals as well as a number of parks along the reach.

Registered Participants: Check in and meet the bus on level one outside of the Nelson Wolff Exhibit Hall prior to the 8:00 am departure.

City of San Antonio Flood Control Tunnel and Olmos Dam When: Friday, September 15, 8:00 am - 12:30 pm Registration Information: Registration for the City of San Antonio Flood Control Tunnel and Olmos Dam is $65 per person includes motorcoach transportation, guided facility tours, light snack and beverages.

The San Antonio River Tunnel project (SART) completed in 1998 - was designed to work with Olmos Dam Floodwater Detention to protect downtown San Antonio from damage. The project includes an inlet facility located at St. Josephine Street and the San Antonio River, a 24-foot diameter tunnel, and an outlet site at Lone Star Boulevard.

The inlet and outlet sites were designed and landscaped to create a park-like setting, in keeping with the character of the adjacent neighborhoods and the city’s popular tourist attraction the River Walk. The tunnel, capable of funneling over three million gallons of water per minute, was bored over ten years and one month and runs three miles long. Soon after it was constructed, SART protected life and untold millions of dollars of property from flood damage when it passed the “flood of record” for the area in October 1998. An innovative alternative to river channelization, the project’s tunnel concept minimizes disruption. Additionally, SART is beneficial in its reduction of environmental impact. One advantageous feature of the project, the recirculation of tunnel water, creates both higher water quality and conserves water, which

had historically been pumped from the Edwards Aquifer to supplement river flow.

The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) also implemented a treated effluent water recycling program so that the flow would be supplemented by recycled water at the tunnel inlet and in Brackenridge Park. This allowed the pumps, which had previously drawn water from the aquifer to supplement the base flow of the river, to be turned off. This project represents innovative and functional design and is a classic example of outstanding cooperative effort between local and federal government agencies. (Source: San Antonio River Flood Control Tunnel, 1998 OCEA ASCE Texas Section 3/15/2017) Olmos Reservoir is located four miles north of San Antonio in Bexar County, on Olmos Creek, a tributary of the San Antonio River. The reservoir was constructed after the record flood of September 1921, which extensively damaged the San Antonio business district. Construction of the dam started in 1925 and was completed in 1926. In March 1979, improvement was made to strengthen and anchor the dam, and modification to the gate operations to provide an emergency spillway. The dam is gravity concrete structure of 1,941 feet long with a maximum height of 60 feet. The reservoir has a capacity of 12,600 acre-feet and a surface area of 889 acres at the top of flood control pool of 725 feet above mean sea level. The drainage area above the dam is 32 square miles.

Registered Participants: Check in and meet the bus on level one outside of the Nelson Wolff Exhibit Hall prior to the 8:00 am departure.

An Evolving Perspective -Dam Safety and the Impacts of the 1977 Kelly Barnes Dam Failure Moderated by Thomas I. Roberts, P.E., Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation At about 1:30 am on the night of November 6, 1977 the Kelly Barnes Dam near Toccoa, Georgia failed. The break sent flood waters down a narrow mountain valley, over a 186 foot high waterfall, and into the campus of Toccoa Falls Bible College and the surrounding area. The flood waters killed 39 people and caused an estimated $2.8 million worth of damage. In the after math a Federal Investigative Board (FIB) was assembled by the Jimmy Carter Administration to determine the probable cause(s) and technical details relating to the failure.

The presentation will include firsthand accounts as well as a portion given by Joseph H Rogers one of the original onsite investigators. The failure of Kelly Barnes Dam forever changed dam safety in the United States forever. This presentation will look at the setting, the timing and how this small dam impacted a nation. It will review the state of dam safety prior to the failure and how this failure impacted Dam Safety and laid the ground work for the creation of the Association of Dam State Dam Safety Officials.

Speakers & Panelists: Nathaniel Gee, US Bureau of Reclamation; Thomas I. Roberts, P.E., CFM, Regional Dam Safety Engineer, VA Department of Conservation and Recreation; Joe Rogers P.E., (retired) Chief of Engineering, US Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District; and David Sykora, Ph.D., P.E., Principal Engineer, Exponent Failure Analysis Associates.

Refreshment Break and Poster Forum in the Exhibit Hall

Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy lunch while networking and meeting new people! ASDSO is making a limited number of reservations at the JW Marriott restaurants for Dine Around participants.

Sign up in the registration area to claim a seat at your restaurant of choice. Then, simply show up at noon and ask for the dine around, and there will be a table waiting for you and some of your fellow attendees. This is a great way to extend your networking outside of the scheduled conference sessions -- and because anyone can sign up to dine at any restaurant, you never know who you might be seated with.

We’re reserving a limited number of tables, so sign up early if you want to participate.

To learn more about the restaurants including the location and menu options check out the conference app. We’ll take the stress out of where to go and what to do ... and leave the networking to you. This is an “ASDSO organized,” event, not ASDSO sponsored. We’ll make sure you have a seat, but lunch is on you!

Young Prof essionals ASDSO recognizes the impact Young Professionals make every day on our industry. In the past, ASDSO tried to ensure Young Professionals were a part of ASDSO committees, conferences, and the Board of Directors.

Now we embark on a new step towards ingraining Young Professionals into even more of the ASDSO experience, the Young Professionals Interest Group.

The Young Professionals Interest Group includes a committee structure with a leadership base to help the group accomplish its mission. To learn more about this exciting new group, sign up for a spot at the Young Professionals Dine Around table.

Watch your email after the conference for more information on becoming a part of this exciting new group.

Don’t forget to pick up your Young Professionals ribbon near registration.

Regional Awards of Merit A recognition of individuals, companies, municipalities, or other entities that have made outstanding contributions to dam safety on a regional level.

Northeast Regional Awards: Massachusetts Water Resources Authority The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) has greatly improved the safety of dams in the 61 Massachusetts communities it serves through its commitment to evaluate, maintain, operate, and rehabilitate its aging dam fleet.

The MWRA, along with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), owns and operates 13 drinking water supply reservoirs impounded by 28 dams and dikes. Since 2004, the MWRA has expended more than $22 million on their dam inspection, maintenance, EAP, and rehabilitation program, as well as capital and major maintenance improvements.

The result of the MWRA’s efforts on regional dam safety can be summarized by the change in condition ratings at its dams after taking over responsibly of them in 2004. Prior to this, condition ratings ranged from “Fair” to “Satisfactory.” Due to the MWRA’s efforts, they have been upgraded and now range from “Satisfactory” to “Good.”

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is charged with maintaining and preserving Pennsylvania’s 120 state parks and 2.2 Million acres of state forest land, including 128 dams.

DCNR has invested over $90 million in state and federal funding over the last 10 years in at least 30 unique dam safety projects. Through these projects, DCNR’s engineers, managers, and maintenance staff have made exemplary contributions to dam safety in Pennsylvania. The projects have helped to repair, replace, or remove aging infrastructure at some of the state’s most notable dams.

DCNR puts value in routine dam safety training and education for managers and maintenance staff in order to achieve proper operation and maintenance of their dams. Over the past ten years, the department has proactively earmarked funds to upgrade their dams for public safety, train staff in operation, maintenance, and inspection of their dams, and encourage involvement in dam safety advocacy organizations such as ASDSO.

Southeast Regional Award: Cobb County Stormwater Management Division Bill Higgins, P.E. In Georgia, the Cobb County Stormwater Management Division under Bill Higgins’ leadership has taken a proactive approach with its dams.

The County has established standards for all of its dams, in particular those not regulated under the Georgia Safe Dams Act. They have also worked to ensure that many of the dams in the county have an emergency action plan (EAP), and contracted to perform dambreak models to assist dam owners in the timely completion of them. Their goal is to have a dambreak model performed on every dam within the county as more funds become available.

They have also created an innovative funding mechanism. Through Mr. Higgins’ guidance, the County developed a mechanism in which it would purchase storage volume from existing lakes and the County would then compensate the owners. The dam owners could then use the funds to make necessary repairs to their dams to meet state design standards. The stormwater purchase program allows the County to obtain much needed additional storage while the dam owner can upgrade his dam, creating a safer environment with minimal out-of-pocket cost.

Midwest Regional Award ‘Over, Under Gone – The Killer in Our Rivers’ Documentary Gary Harrison, Producer WFYI Public Media Manuela Johnson, Indiana Department of Homeland Security, SDRF Program Manager Through the creation, air and promotion of the low head dam documentary ‘Over, Under, Gone – The Killer in Our Rivers’, Gary Harrison, WFYI Public Media, and Manuela Johnson have demonstrated concern for public safety education, volunteerism and the need for increased safety at dams.

Through the documentary, they have strived to teach the state and region’s youth about waterway safety practices and the deceptive safety risks of low head dams. The local community had a need for local education following deaths occurring at these low head dam “drowning machines”.

‘Over, Under, Gone – The Killer in Our Rivers’ was repeatedly aired in spring 2017 before the outdoor water activities season and freely shared throughout the region. It has been a powerful tool in spreading awareness throughout the community. The message has also spread to other states and aided in awareness and proposed safety efforts in other communities.

National Rehabilitation Project of the Year This award recognizes developers of a unique remedial design that advances the state-of-the-art in the field of dam safety and exemplifies the high professional engineering standards that dam safety requires.

Lake Delhi Dam, Delhi, Iowa The rehabilitation of Lake Delhi dam was a combined, six-year effort between two highly motivated groups: the dam owner, the Lake Delhi Combined Recreational Facility and Water Control District, and the designers, Stanley Consultants.

The need for rehabilitation came after a bad storm in 2010. Over the course of 2 days, 12 inches of rain raised the lake levels by 8.5 feet. The earthen dam was overtopped and breached resulting in 450 acres of muck and the loss of an economic cornerstone.

For six years, Stanley Consultants worked side-by-side with the Lake Delhi Combined Recreational Facility and Water Control District to redesign and rebuild the dam.

The team worked through classification, permitting, and funding issues throughout the rehab process including one daunting permitting requirement that was met by successfully lobbying to change Iowa law.

Hazard classification was another major challenge for the team. Iowa dams are classified according to hazard level: low, moderate, high. They knew that a “high hazard” classification designation would have killed the project. The firm designed with this knowledge in mind and were able to successfully demonstrate to the DNR that a “moderate” classification was appropriate.

The team also faced a large design challenge. The new spillway was required to have twice the hydraulic capacity yet occupy the same space as the previous spillway. The team designed Iowa’s first labyrinth spillway that more than doubled the spillway capacity without using mechanical gates or electrical systems.

Shortly after completion the dam was tested by the lake’s 5th largest recorded flood. It performed flawlessly.

Following the rehabilitation there has been a large impact on the community. The lake traffic has returned, construction is growing and property values are up. The community was very supportive of the project and in turn has seen a positive impact on its economy.

National Award of Merit Chosen by the ASDSO Board of Directors, this award honors and individual or entity contributing to dam safety on a national level.

Senator Shelly Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) and Senator Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island) The ASDSO Board of Directors is very pleased to present the 2017 ASDSO National Award of Merit to Senator Shelly Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) and Senator Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island). This is the association’s highest award given to individuals and organizations that have advanced the dam safety cause nationwide. ASDSO is proud to give this award in recognition of the Senators’ leadership on and sponsorship of the National Dam Rehabilitation Act (33 USC Chapter 9, Subchapter VII: Dam Inspection Program, Section 467f-2.(e); aka: High Hazard Potential Small Dam Safety Act), passed and signed into law in December 2016. ASDSO is grateful to the Senators and their staffs for showing a unique willingness to work with the ASDSO and ASCE legislative advocacy leaders and for their commitment to learning about the dam safety community.

In a demonstration of bipartisan collaboration, Capito and Reed introduced the bill in April of 2016 and saw it through to passage in December. The law amends the National Dam Safety Act and authorizes $445 million in federal grant assistance for the rehabilitation, repair or removal of non-federal high-hazard potential dams nationwide.

Senator Capito and Senator Reed acknowledged that with proper funding dam failures could be avoided and public safety could be greatly improved across the country.

Per Senator Reed’s website, “Rhode Island has over 660 dams, many of them over a century old. They play important roles with respect to our water supply, flood control, recreation, and other community uses.

Dams have shaped our landscape and we must ensure these dams are in good shape to protect lives, homes, and businesses… It would be a real tragedy if a high hazard dam in need of repairs failed because the cost of fixing it was just out of reach. So by assisting in the repair or removal of high hazard dams before they fail, my legislation makes an investment in future cost savings, not to mention lives and property saved.”

Per a press release from the office of Senator Reed, Senator Capito said, “This [legislation] will help facilitate the repair or removal of high hazard dams before an incident occurs, which could end up saving lives and future costs.”

ASDSO is honored to present this award to Senator Capito and Senator Reed. Their effort will lead to an immense change in public safety nationwide and is the beginning to an important investment in our nation’s critical infrastructure.
