                  The Wisconsin Coastal Management Program was established in
                  1978 to direct comprehensive attention to the state's 820 miles
                  of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior coastline. The WCMP
                  analyzes and develops state policy on a wide range of Great
                  Lakes issues, coordinates the many governmental programs that
                  affect the coast, and provides grants to stimulate better state
                  and local coastal management. Its overall goal is to preserve.,
                  protect and develop the resources of Wisconsin's coastal areas
                  for this and succeeding generations.

                  In April of 1989, the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission and
                  Brown County Harbor Commission in cooperation with the
                  Wisconsin Coastal Management Program contracted to complete the
                  following project: to identify cost-benefit components
                  associated with harbor operations to assist in the development
                  of a scope of study; to develop a scope of study that can be
                  evaluated to determine the true benefit/cost of the Port of
                  Green Bay including the potential for relocation of the
                  existing shipping interests to other harbors in the region;
                  and, to prepare, if requested, the necessary Requests For
                  Proposals for consultant selection to conduct such a study.

                                         BACKGROUND PAPER

                  The impetus for the harbor study need came from local, regional
                  and state concerns that a model or method of accurately
                  measuring the economic viability of port operations be
                  developed and utilized for the Port of Green Bay and be
                  applicable to other port operations throughout the state. The
                  Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission and the Brown County
                  Harbor Commission established a Harbor,Study Steering Committee
                  to address this issue.

                  The Committee is comprised of representatives from city and
                  county government; private industry; local, regional, state and
                  federal agencies; harbor business and industry users; and,
                  natural resource and environmental interests. The Harbor Study
                  Steering Committee will identify cost-benefit components and
                  issues to provide direction to the development of a scope of
                  study for economic viability. Issues identified by the
                  Committee are not meant to be all-inclusive but rather, provide
                  a base for the study development.

                  A listing of cost-benefit components was defined by the
                  Committee through the use of the nominal group process. Three
                  groups of committee members identified quantitative as well as
                  qualitative issues, to be addressed in future study endeavors.

                  Introduction
                  In January 1989 the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission and
                  the Brown County Harbor Commission initiated a study effort to
                  identify cost and benefit components impacting commercial
                  harbors within the northeastern Wisconsin region and compare
                  these harbor cost/benefits with the relative cost/benefits of
                  alternative transportation means, such as truck or rail for
                  transporting the same goods; or the relative cost/benefits of
                  improving nearby harbor facilities for transporting the same
                  goods.

                  To assist in the identification and development of such a study
                  the Bay-Lake Regional Harbor Council, consisting of
                  representatives of the harbors within the region and additional
                  representatives from public and private interests were convened
                  to address the issue. (Appendix A lists the membership of the
                  Harbor Study Steering Committee).

                  The goal of the Harbor Study Steering Committee is to develop
                  the scope of a cost benefit study needed to determine the
                  long-term feasibility of any commercial port operations, and to
                  apply the results of such study to the specific Port of Green
                  Bay.

                  The initial meeting was held January 20, 1989 and the
                  committee, utilizing the nominal group process, identified
                  costs and benefit components that impacted ports within the
                  Bay-Lake region and throughout the state. Table 1 identifies
                  the major categories and the main cost and benefit components
                  identified by the committee.

                  The process itself is structured, and is organized in a
                  nominal-round robin-interacting-nominal group sequence. These
                  events, in this order, provide participants time to think and
                  search out their minds, a chance to share and discuss their
                  ideas equally with others and an opportunity to make

                  independent decisions. The nominal group process is most
                  advantageous in that it provides an atmosphere for independent
                  thinking, tolerates conflicts in ideas, depersonalizes the
                  ideas presented, provides focus on important issues, and
                  encourages minority opinions as well as majority opinions.

                  1989 nominal group session).

                  Major Categories
                  Subsequent meetings of the Harbor Study Steering Committee have
                  resulted in grouping the cost/benefit components under the
                  following major categories: (Each component should have equal
                  merit in the study effort and the list of categories should not
                  be viewed as listed by priority.)

                  Under each category, specific cost components and benefit
                  components have been further identified to include all the
                  concerns of the Harbor Study Steering Committee as significant
                  to the costs and benefits of commercial port operations.
                  (Appendix C lists the major categories and the specific
                  elements under each category).

                  Scope of Study
                  The question to be addressed is: Are there alternative routes
                  and facilities that could deliver these goods and services more
                  efficiently or is the port the best alternative? The following
                  elements identify the scope of study needed to accomplish a
                  cost benefit analysis determining the long range feasibility
                  for the Port of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

                       Cost components presented by major category including a
                       discussion of the specific components associated with the
                       port, alternative transportation modes, and alternative
                       port(s) locations.

                       Benefit components presented by major category including a
                       discussion of the specific components associated with the
                       port, alternative transportation modes, and alternative
                       port(s) locations.

                       A summary of the Harbor Study Components, listing major
                       categories, main cost components and main benefit
                       components including primary and dependent influences for
                       which detailed specific cost estimates to conduct the
                       study will be requested.

                       A definition of the geographic study area (see Map 1 and
                       Map 2). The immediate area served by the port includes
                       Brown County, Wisconsin and the communities of
                       northeastern Wisconsin as well as the communities in the
                       Fox River Valley.

                       Preparation of a cost/benefit analysis of the port of
                       Green Bay utilizing alternative transportation modes and
                       alternative port(s) locations as inherent scenarios in the
                       study methodology.
