5 RAC Project Objectives Manage risks associated with closure of nine gates during a hurricane or tropical storm warning (HTSW). Identify the main risk contributors Identify an initial set of potential risk reduction measures Provide a foundation for developing a risk-informed maintenance program Risk-Informed Decision Support Tool It should be noted that this study was not a system-wide risk assessment or a condition assessment. It addressed only the performance of the nine complex gate structures and did not include the performance of the levees, floodwalls or other HSDRRS features. The study included the normal components of the risk assessment process, including risk identification, risk estimation, risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk assessment, as described in the final report. The study did not identify any immediate cause for concern for public safety. 5

8 RAC Risk Framework - HAZOP Overview The HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) Workshop took the participants through an analysis of risks for each of the nine gated risk structures in the HSDRRS. Potential risks were categorized into four separate risk areas that were further broken down into elements and components. Risk Areas Four RISK Focus Areas Personnel, Structure, Operational Support (Power and Communications), Procedures Elements Twelve ELEMENTS - Staff, Contractors, Controls, Hydraulics, Mechanical Systems, Structural, Power, Communications, SOPs (Operating, Maintenance, Communication, Water Control) Components Sixty-one COMPONENTS Communications: Power/Primary/Secondary/Tertiary/Generator 9 Flood Control Systems 549 COMBINATIONS

11 RAC Risk Framework - Fault Tree Analysis Overview What combination of events will cause another (top) event to occur (e.g., gates do not fully close)? Also provides an estimate of the per demand probability that the top event will occur Utilize deductive logic, where the causative conditions and factors are deductively identified, organized in a logical manner. Logic represented in a fault tree diagram FERC Risk Training Course Phase 1 Logan, Utah

16 Risk Framework - Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Overview RAC A systematic procedure for the analysis of a system to identify the potential failure modes, their causes and effects on system performance The system is represented as a functional block diagram where performance of its elements can be defined The analysis proceeds in a bottom-up fashion until the end effect on the system is identified A thorough FMEA is a result of team work that stimulates the thought process, and ensures necessary expertise FMEA generally deals with individual failure modes and the effect of these failure modes on the system. Each failure mode is treated as independent. 16
