Final memorandums have gone out to the South Pacific Division on 12 project reports. The ITF is continuing the process of evaluating all projects for potential non-structural alternatives. These 42 reports include drafts and finals and reflect projects under FEMA, NRCS and Corps authority. Enclosure 3 contains the comment sheets for each project along with a general summary status sheet. The ITF continues to provide a forum for those agencies motivated to participate in finding NSAs.
Efforts continue on four likely NSAs.
Additional effort relative to a new NSA is in the concept stage as indicated Section 8 of this report. The ITF s process, now well developed, continues to depend on agency involvement to be successful. We are continuing to develop outreach programs to reach out further to the local citizens, landowners and the levee districts in an effort to promote NSAs. The outreach program discussed in Section 4 has been a success. The major gains in NSAs will come from the long range efforts and the ITF setting the stage through some successful NSAs, increased public knowledge, and helping establish a favorable mindset.
