Critical Infrastructure Security Program (CISP)
Description
|
As a result of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the Department of Defense/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers directed that Corps of Engineers' dams and their associated structures be assessed for enhanced security and force protection needs using Risk Assessment Methodology for Dams guidance.
On the basis of these assessments, Corps of Engineers' Headquarters ranked all sites on a national level. In the St. Paul District, 13 of the 19 sites assessed are on the national priority list. The Critical Project Security Program provided the authority and framework to design, acquire and construct security measures identified as part of the RAM-D assessment process. The Critical Infrastructure Security Program replaced CPSP to ensure that all Corps' facilities could be included in the program, not just those on the national priority list. The Baseline Security Program was implemented within CISP to ensure that all Corps' facilities are protected from security threats to a determined baseline level.
|
District Goal
|
The goal is to provide force and resource protection and security while balancing operational needs and public accessibility. Visitor access to facilities may be limited during times of elevated threat.
|
Status
|
Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam: Upper St. Anthony Falls is located on the Mississippi River in the heart of Minneapolis and is the uppermost lock and dam on the Mississippi River navigation system. Security enhancement construction at this site will be complete in spring 2008.
Remaining locks and dams: Security construction at the remaining locks and dams in the St. Paul District will be complete in fiscal year 2008.
|
Funding
|
Initial funding for the CPSP program came through a special congressional appropriation in 2002. Subsequent funding has come from within the Corps' Operation and Maintenance program.
