Part 12D Summary, Observations, and Lessons Learned - Year 1

This two-hour webinar will provide a summary of the information and observations gathered during the first year of the new Part 12D program and focus on Comprehensive Assessments.  The webinar will include lessons learned from inspection plans, pre-inspection preparation reports, PFMAs, L2RAs, and Comprehensive Assessment review meetings.  


PFMA and L2RA Observations and Lessons Learned - Year 1

This two-hour webinar will provide a summary of the information and observations gathered during the first year of PFMAs and L2RAs as part of Comprehensive Assessments.  The webinar will include lessons learned and provide more specific information and detail on PFMAs and L2RAs than the former webinar. 


Introduction to USACE SQRA and FERC L2RA Process and Guidelines, DLS-102

Explore how to prepare for, calculate and evaluate the results of semi- quantitative risk assessments (SQRA). The training will focus on the L2RA process, the calculations and information required to complete an L2RA, and how the L2RA results are used.

Target Audience - Technical staff of FERC licensees and consultants who
will be participating in or leading L2RA for a variety of purposes. This course
is appropriate for participants with other backgrounds or goals who could benefit from understanding all aspects of SQRA and L2RA.

Format - In-person, one day. This course will include lectures and demonstrations from USACE and FERC experts as well as hands-on exercises.

Hydrologic Hazard Analysis for L2RA Training Class

This training will provide an understanding of flood hazard theory and methodology and how to develop hydrologic loading curves for Level 2 Risk Analysis (L2RA) using U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Risk Management Center RMC-BestFit and RMC-RFA tools.  The training will provide participants with the knowledge and understanding needed to perform routine and non-routine Hydrologic Hazard Analysis (HHA) for Risk Analysis. Participants will learn how to:

  • Perform and review Hydrologic Hazard Analysis using RMC BestFit and RMC-RFA software.
  • Identify data needs for Hydrologic Hazard Analyses commensurate with the purpose, type, and level of Risk Analysis.
  • Develop flow-, volume-, and stage-frequency curves.
  • Interpret and communicate flood hazard analysis results.

Full agenda here.

We encourage licensees, consultants, and others interested to attend.
