1 Restoring America s Estuaries 5 th National Conference on Coastal and Estuarine Habitat Restoration 16 November 2010 Hudson Raritan Estuary Comprehensive Restoration Plan and Feasibility Study Lisa Baron Peter Weppler US Army Corps of Engineers
2 Comprehensive Restoration Plan: True Collaboration Project Partners: US Army Corps of Engineers Port Authority of NY/NJ NY/NJ Harbor Estuary Program Hudson River Foundation Cornell University Many more. 4 Federal and 8 State/City Agencies 13 Research Institutions 28 Non-Profit Organizations 5 Private Consulting Firms
3 Comprehensive Restoration Plan It IS intended to: Provide a shared vision of a restored estuary Serve as a Blueprint for future restoration Coordinate and align regional restoration activities Build upon HEP Structure Serve as living document actively managed to track progress Be HEP s Regional Master Plan for Restoration Not just the USACE s Plan
4 HRE Planning Regions Lower Hudson River Newark Bay, Passaic River, Hackensack River Harlem River, East River, Western Long Island Sound Arthur Kill/ Kill Van Kull Upper Bay Jamaica Bay Lower Raritan River Lower Bay
5 Ongoing Ecosystem Restoration in HRE HEP SITES Harbor Estuary Program/HRE Nominated Sites See Handout
6 What are the Problems in the HRE and Jamaica Bay? Degraded and contaminated sediments Human health and ecological risks Costly dredged material management Lost and degraded habitat 80% wetlands are gone Oyster reefs and eelgrass have disappeared Poor water quality Combined Sewer Outfalls Landfill Leaching Industrial Discharge Urban Runoff Oxygen-Poor Borrow Pits Minimal and dilapidated public access
7 Jamaica Bay Marsh Islands Restoration Marsh Loss The saltwater marsh islands of Jamaica Bay are shrinking at an alarming rate and could disappear within five years according to a report in 2007.
8 Target Ecosystem Characteristics TECs Illustrate: [What] [Where] [How Much] [By When] 8 CRP Goal: Create and Restore a mosaic of habitats within a humandominated landscape
9 The CRP includes What are we trying to Restore? Regional Restoration Goals/TECs Where can we restore? Restoration Opportunities for each TEC Existing HEP-nominated sites Geographic Information System Planning Considerations Conceptual designs and costs Technical, legal, regulatory constraints, data gaps Implementation strategies Potential sponsors and possible funding mechanisms Performance measures of progress and success
10 Coastal Wetland TEC Opportunities
11 Jamaica Bay Planning Region Mosaic of Habitats Opportunities for many TECs: coastal wetland creation, oyster reefs, eelgrass beds, maritime forests, islands for waterbirds
12 Policy Considerations Challenges to Implementation. Placement of fill in Open Waters Habitat Trade-off / Exchange Attractive Nuisance Sediment Contamination Oyster Reef Policies Existing protected in-water Structures Streamlined and Flexible Permitting Process Align agency policies and programs to encourage and promote restoration
13 Potential Costs for Selected TECs TEC Unit of Restoration Low ($/unit) Median ($/unit) High ($/unit) #Data Sets Coastal Wetlands Oyster Habitat Acres $218,587 $277,009 $713, Cyd excavated $49 $53 $144 Acres $51,457 $52,478 $109, Cyd shell placed $30 $65 $75 Eelgrass Acres $1,080 $16,600 $170, ,3 1 Source: Brooklyn Union Gas, Elders East, Medwick Park, Woodbridge Creek 2 Source: Chesapeake Bay 3 Costs range from passive seed dispersal methods to intensive hand-planting by divers (includes monitoring and normalized to 8.4% survival rate)
14 CRP Implementation Federal, State, local and Private Funding Sources and Mechanisms Mitigation Natural Resource Damages Trustees Strategies for coordination to achieve the TEC goals Alignment of Agency policies to achieve CRP goals Implementation using Existing Authority Mitigation NRDA New Programmatic Authorization
15 Oyster Restoration Research Program 21 September 2010 Tasks for Feasibility Evaluation of CRP Sites/Projects Harbor-wide and within each Planning Region Analysis of ecological benefits and costs Identification of New Restoration Opportunities Develop Implementation strategies Further State of the Science for each TEC through detailed investigations for oysters, waterbirds, etc.
