St. Paul MN Layered security plan for Lambert's Landing to address the following priorities: Prevention and detection of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attacks by small water craft; Prevention and detection of vehicle borne IED's; Prevention and detection of underwater IED attacks Lambert's Landing is currently closed to port activity by the Captain of the Port under 33 CFR, Part 105.120 because it does not have an approved Facitity Security Pian. The elements of this grant proposal will provide Saint Paui with the ability to develop and implement and approved plan. Without these enhancements, the port wili remain closed. Lambert's Landing is public space as defined in 33 CFR 105.106 (b) A public access aiea is a defned space within a facility that is open to alI persons and provides pedesfrian access through the facility from public thoroughfares fo the vesse/. The current (and yet unapproved) Facility Security Plan for Lambert's Landing has reduced security measures when there is no MTSA vessel present. Lambert's Landing is an open public access park area with no cargo storage or marine fueling capacity. The day-to-day activities at the dock are coordinated by Upper River Services, which operates barge services in the area. Current Project No. 1 St. L_St. Paui_Port Application_Project Narrative_Projectl security consists of daily maintenance checks of tfie park land and routine patrols by parks and recreation maintenance and paric security staff. Any threat to public safety and security is addressed by Saint Paul Police as they deem appropriate. Lambert's Landing interfaces with excursion boats. The Delta Queen Steamboat Boat Co. docks at this location 45 times annuaily carrying approximately 2,500 — 3,000 passengers between the months of June and September. When the Queen Co. is docked, there are responsible agents of the company aboard the vessei at all times, and they are responsible for screening and security checks of passengers. The enhancements proposed for Lambert's Landing will provide the City with the capacity to deter potential water-bome threats, observe activity, secure the port, protect the public space and control access. All elements of this proposal are required to implement a Facility Security Plan which will receive approval from the Captain of the Port and allow for the continued security and monitoring of the port.

With the convergence of shipping of freight, consisting of water vessels (barge/tug/commercial boat traffic); then meeting the storage, dock, motor carrier, railroad and other transportation infrastructure— several diverse activities simultaneously take place. Currently, there are no IED threat assessmenUprotective/intelligence infrastructure elements present at this port. A description of those activities are further detailed below: 1. Baraes/Tua boats- St. Paul is a primary port at the north end of the Mississippi River. Significant commerciai barge traffic passes directiy in front of the St. Paui's Port area, exposing several features of the vulnerable critical infrastructure to peril. This tra�c transits the area as weli as docks to perform service, loading and unloading as weil as other operations. 2. Tour boats- The Port has a constant flow of tour boats, large and small passing through the riverfront area. These tour boats either pass the area or sfop to pick up and drop off passengers. Project No. 2 St. L_St. Paui_Port Application_Program_Narrative Project2 3. Pleasure craft- In addition to the other functions, there is a constant flow of pfeasure and non-commercial watercraft utiliang the riverfront Port area. Docking, service, pubiic access and other functions take place in this area. 4. Riverfront areas of mass oubiic aatherina for evenfs- The city of St. Paul stages several events during the year that draw several millions of people to the riverfront. From Iarge events to small, they share the congested riverfront Port area. These events overfiow onto the various island parks as weii. 5. Dockinq facilities for recei�t transfer and storaae of oetroleum based roo ducts- Along the south of the Port area, there is a large petroleum service/storage area. This area is in the heart of the riverfront, handling the receipt and transfer of various fuel/petroleum based products. 6. Dockinp facilities for receiot transfer and storaae of hazardous chemicais- There is a constant flow of barge traffic, rail and vehicular traffic bringing hazardous chemicals along the bridges, river and rail/docking areas of the Port. Chemical shipments traverse the area and some originate/destinate at South Port. Project No. 2 St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Program_Narrative Project2 7. Railroad access- Several railroad lines converge in the port area as weil as follow along the river for miles. These rail carriers either pass through; originateldestinate at the Port. All types of materials, includi�g hazardo�s chemicais pass within the Port area via rail. 8. Cornerqence of several Interstate Hiahwavs on Bridaes crossina the Port- Several Interstate and State Highways converge at the Port of St. Paul ' riverfront area. They pass over the top of the Port as well as parallel to the � riverfront. The highway brings a constant flow of vehicular tra�c composed of '; motor vehicles as well as common carrier motor freight tra�c. A significant number of the motor freight passes off to the Port area to a large rtumber of warehousing operations along the waterfront area. 9. Airoorts ' Two major airports' and their runways are bordered on the Mississippi River. Access to and from the river to the airport perimeter is an additional threat forlED concern. � 10. S orts Venues These attractions take place year round and draw thousands of peopie. Metr000litan Waste Treatment Plant The Metropolitan Waste Treatment Plant services the greater Mpls/St Paul area processing affluent from the major metro area and returns it to a - - g the river. Lock and dam #1 Lock and dam #1, which handies high volumes of commerciai and recreational boat traffic and provides hydroelectric power for the Ford Motor Company manufacturing plant. Dam consists of Ambursen concrete overflow structure 574' long, hydro power station owned and operated by Ford Motor Co. Lock is 56' wide by 400' long. River Lock 56' wide by 400' long. It is the only hvin lock i� the district TYPE AND VOLUME OF CARGO The Port of St. Paul had an average of 13 miliion tons of cargo CY 03 —04 transit its facilities. The cargo type consisted of coal, petroleum and petroleum products, chemicals and fertilizers, crude materials, manufactured goods, and food and farm products TYPE AND VOLUME OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS The following are types and volumes of hazardous cargo: Petroleum and petroleum products - 128,000 tons Chemicals and fertilizers — 1.2 million tons Other chemicals — 547,000 tons Project No. 2 St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Program_Narrative Project2 NUMBER OF PASSENGERS There are a number of riverboats such as the Deita Queen and others that sail from St Paul to New Orleans. Additionally, a local Steamboat company provides cruises along the Mississippi River in St Paul. Total number exceeds 175,000 per year.

Along the banks of the River lie criticai water intakes. There are at least 10 facilities which store and transport Fiazardous Materials iocafed along the Saint Paul shoreline. Nine bridges, inciuding 2 major interstate highways, cross the river. There are 2 active pipelines crossing the river bottom. An airport, which houses a National Guard helicopter base and is the commuter hub for the 3M Corporation lies directly on the banks of the Upper Mississippi River. Finally, Lock and Dam No. 1 regulates the channel and provides electricity to the Ford Motor Plant. The consequences for the disruption of any of this valuable infrastructure would be great to the commercial operations of this port. In addition to the infrastructure on the river there are numerous high profile targets within blocks of the river. Bridges cross all direct Iinks from Saint Paul to � s i � � Y f � Project No. 3 St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Project Narrative_Project3 the Intemafional Airport. On the bluff above the river lies the City and County Courthouse a Civic Center housing a professional hockey team a major regional museum and a Federal courthouse. Thousands of housing units have been built or are planned over the next 5 years on the banks of this federal water-way in the downtown area. Finally, a regional park on the river hosts numerous festivals bringing hundreds of thousands of citizens to Saint Paul's river-front. Project No. 3 St. L_St. Paul Port Application_Project Plan_Project3 City of Saint Paul 2005 Port Security Grant ALL-SEASON, ALL-CLIMATE, MULTI-USE JOINT MARINE PATROL UNIT PROJECT PLAN The City is a major river port with a multitude of potential target sites for ferrorists. Direct observation is the best indicator of potential target sites and the best way to monitor and observe anomalies. The best way to detect and prevent is on the water. Operations in this port do nof sfop when the commercial transportation season slows in the winter. In addition, infrastructures are particularly vulnerable when security vessels are in storage. During ice and partial ice conditions security lessens and areas may become accessible by foot. The onfy safe way to maneuver under these conditions is by air-boat. This vessel can move from �and to water to ice and to partial ice equally effective. The effort is to show that our diligence does not take a break. An air-boat that can carry up to 6 personnel in an enclosed cab environment would have the capability of carrying a crew and security force and leave room to transport possible prisoners. This vessel doesn't need much water to operate so it is also capable of transporting security units to check shallow or swampy water for suspicious activity. This vessel can operate as a dual platform, with search and rescue serving as a secondary role. Our commercial season patrol vessel will be in service a minimum of 40 hours per week, with increased hours to cover special events on and near the river. The patrol unit wili typically use the landing craft vessel from mid April through October and the air-boat during partial ice or full ice conditions. The primary function of the Marine Patrol Unit will be the security of our port and the protection of our critical river infrastructure. Our vessels will, by design, be a muiti-purpose platform capable of delivering special support services and equipment in addition to patrol requirements. The landing craft vessel and the air- boat wi(I make the Marine Patrol Unit extremely versatile and will fili a gap in our port security needs. Project No. 3 St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Project Plan_Project3 OVERALL PROJECT LINK: This project fits nicely into the muiti-Iayered port-security plan offered in this grant request. The on-scene force projection is limited to open water operations at this time. Local law enforcement and Coast Guard assets are available to operate, at the most, 8 months of the year. This project would give us a 12 month operational capability in the port. The "Video Surveillance Intrusion Detection ProjecY' can provide a"first alert" system for operational personnel. The reaction force on the water to this initial alert would come from law enforcement vesseis. However, in ice or partial ice conditions this is not an option. An air-boat would allow the appropriate response regardless of surtace conditions. An additional benefit would be the operational capabilities in "backwater" areas which are numerous in this port area. The video stream backed by a!I-season reaction capabi(ify provides an exceilent Iayered security screen. This layered system includes the Coast Guard recommended security plan for Lambert's Landing. All water-side contingencies in this plan will intertace with the shore-side infrastructure hardening of this embarkatioNdebarkation site. Vigilance by the marine industry and boating public will add another element of security to this plan. "River Watch" is designed to educate our other customers to be an extension of these security initiatives. Once again the pertect response to "good intelligence" is capable operational units. The Diving Team upgrade would enable operating units to investigate potential threats to some of these critical infrastructures. The potential for the placement of IED 's during port activities is real and security forces need the means to deter this potential.

This project will provide a mechanism for a coordinated and structured approach to incorporate the recreational boating public, commerciai boat operators, rivertront industries and businesses, marina operators and others in the overali observation and scrutiny of the Mississippi River where it borders Ramsey County. As prior law enforcement experience has shown, individuals who are most familiar with a location, building, area or venue are those most knowledgeable of what is out of place, therefore what is suspicious. Likewise, persons who work, live, or recreate on or adjacent to the Mississippi River are those most likely to be knowledgeable of what is out of place or suspicious on the Mississippi River. St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Program Narrative_Project4 These individuals and groups need fo be encouraged to watch their river and report suspicious activities they may observe. This increased observation and scrutiny of Mississippi River will address the Port of Saint Paul's vulnerabilities pertaining to the prevention and detection of IED attacks by smail craft and/or underwater attacks by aliowing for subsequent law enforcement investigation of suspicious activities and preemption of such attacks. Additionally, perpetrators of terrorist attacks will follow the path of least resistance. They are less Iikely to pertorm their activities 'rf there is an organized observational presence, which increases the likelihood of their discovery or the preemption of their activities. STAKEHOLDERS Stakehoiders in this River Watch project include the following: • River front industries and businesses • Marinas • Boating Public • Professional River Boat operators • Riverfront housing developments • Other stakeholders may be later identified VULNERABILITIES The vulnerabilities of the area of the Port of Saint Paul include large commercial traffic in the form of river barges, commercial riverboat cruise vessels which carry severai hundred persons, river bank rail lines with rail tankers containing hazardous chemicals, industrial facilities with river access, vehicular bridge,s including state highway and interstate highway bridges, and railroad bridges. Additionally, there are interstate highway bridges just outside the Ramsey County boarders. The entire length of the Mississippi River bank as it flow through Ramsey County is urbanized and includes a major metropolitan downtown area (St. Paulj whicfi is also the state capitol of the State of Minnesota. In essence, the entire river as it traverses Ramsey County is a vulnerable area. The following are other significant facilities along the Mississippi River as it flows through Ramsey County: • Lock & Dam #1 • Hidden Falis Regional Park St. L_St. Paul_Port App)ication_Project BudgeY Project4 2005 Port Security Grant City of Saint Paul Nlississippi River Watch PROJECT BUDGET $33,163.00 16' Boston Whaler Guardian, Engine, and Trailer This is a smalier boat, easier for a single individuai to launch and operate while being large and stable enough for river operation. This watercraft will be used to make contact with the various Mississippi River stakeholders. Making contact via water wili provide credibility to River Watch personnel in their mission to recruit Mississippi River stakeholders and mold them into a viable force for the observation of and reporting on suspicious river activities. $2156.00 Sales Tax for 16' Boston Whaler Guardian, Engine, and Trailer $29,000.00 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab 4x4 Pickup Truck or similar vehicle. This vehicle will be used to make contact with parties who do not have Mississippi River access. it is afso large enough fo tow the 16' Boston Whaier to and from Mississippi River. 4x4 functionality allows for expedited launching and removal from the river. $11,000.00 2 Equipment Packages including radios, lighting & siren for Boat and Pick Up Truck. This equipment is required for safety, functionality and recognition. Equipping the boat and Truck as Law Enforcement vehicles and identifying the vehicles, as public safety vehicles wili provide greater credibiliiy for personnel assigned to the River Watch Detail. Radio Communications are necessary for contact with other personnel, supervisors and to obtain assisYance if necessary. Lights and sirens are necessary for visibility and functionality when the vehicle may be used in a public safety response manner. $5,000.00 Printing Expenses Providing reference materials to members of the River Watch program will enhance the physical security of the Port of Saint Paul. These materials are noY used fo support operational costs, they are tangible products that vvill be distributed for the enhancement of port security. $5,000.00 Meeting Expenses Meeting expenses are an organizational cost necessary to provide an attractive venue to facilitate the recruitment, organization, and retention of volunteers involved in the Mississippi River Watch program. St. L_St. Pau!_Port Application_Project Plan_Project4 City of Saint Paul Port Security Grant Mississippi River Watch PROJECT PLAN/IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION By organizing and providing the knowiedge to the stakeholders to be watchful for suspicious persons, events, objects, vehicles, boats, etc. and providing encouragement to the stakeholders to report their suspicions, the opportunity to preempt a terrorist or other attack on the Port of Saint Paul is greatly enhanced. The Mississippi River Watch program will be implemented utilizing a community involvement approach. River Watch personnel will be assigned to contact Mississippi River sfakeholders for the purpose of introduction. In order to increase the affinity between Mississippi River stakeholders and River Watch personnel, stakeholders will be reached via boat where possible. Where stakeholders cannot be contacted by water, River Watch personnel will make in person contact by walking or driving to the appropriate locations. At the initial contact, a Ramsey County Eagle Eyes brochure or similar document wifl be distributed. As stakeholders and contact persons are identified, a database of addresses and phone numbers wili be collected for future information dissemination. After the initial Mississippi River stakehoiders have been identified and contacted, periodic meetings and additional training will be conducted to facilitate the furtherance of the River Watch mission. Past experience indicates that individuals who have a greater interest in the River Watch concept will attend the meetings and training with more frequency and enthusiasm. These individuals will be recruited to keep regular contact with individual stakeholders much like neighborhood biock captains keep contact with members of a Neighborhood watch group. The Ramsey County Community Watch automated dialing system can be utilized to maintain contact with the Mississippi River stakeholders. At this time it is unknown how many people are included it the phrase "Mississippi River stakeholders", however with 37 "on the wate�' industries, 2 marinas, recreafional boaters, commercial boat operators, along with new riverfront housing, the number of persons contacted will be significant, St. L_St. Paui_Port Application_Project Plan_Project4 PROJECT COORDINATION There are several projects involved in the Port Security Grant proposal. This project E complements most of them. As suspicious acfivity is reported, the CCN surveillance f cameras can be focused on the suspicious activity.

It will be necessary to ou�t and train personnel to facilitate this expansion. The expansion of the Ramsey County Sheriffs Dive Team will be accomplished with the addition of environmentaliy sealed scuba equipment and with the possible inclusion of public safety personnel from the Saint Paul Police Department and the Saint Paul Fire Department to the Ramsey County Sheriff DepartmenYs dive team. F � L C E ; t ! St. L_St. Paul_Port Application_Program Narrative_Project5 Environmentaliy sealed dive equipment allows for public safety diving on the Mississippi River in contaminated waters without regard to water temperature. A larger dive team allows for extended operations in the hazardous and tiring environment of the Mississippi River. This increased diving capacity will permit efficient and extensive dive operations at the Port of Saint Paul in an attempt to prevent, detect, and neutralize underwater security threats including IED attacks. VULNERABILITIES The vulnerabilities of the area of the Port of Saint Paul incfude large commercial tra�c in the form of river barges, commercial riverboat cruise vessels which carry several hundred persons, river bank rail lines with rail tankers containing hazardous chemicals, IndusVial facilities with river access, vehicuiar bridges including state highway and interstafe highway bridges, and railroad bridges. Additionaliy, there are 2 interstate highway bridges just outside the Ramsey County boarders. The enfire length of the Mississippi River bank as it flow through Ramsey County is urbanized and includes a major metropolitan downtown area (St. Paul) which is also the state capitol of the State of Minnesota. In essence, the entire river as it traverses Ramsey County is a vulnerable area. Just outside the Border of Ramsey County are Interstate Bridges traversing the Mississippi River. Damage to either bridge would cause major disruptions to services in Ramsey County.
