2 Sewage Treatment upgrades causing rates to reach point of unaffordability Need to Evaluate Sustainable WQ Improvements Environmental, Economic & Social Sustainability Triple Bottom Line! ROMS can be used to evaluate WQ Improvement Alternatives Can Help to get the most Bang for the Buck!
3 ROMS can Evaluate Sustainable Solutions NBC Poster Presenter at Restore American Estuaries Conference in 2012 NBC Proposed Evaluating Eco-System Based Sustainable WQ Improvements Coordination Team Funded NBC/DEM Project to perform evaluations
4 Expert Stakeholder WQ Evaluation Process Goal: Complete Feasibility Study to holistically evaluate sustainable solutions to improve upper Bay water quality NBC/DEM partnership received $150,000 grant from RI BRWCT to begin the process This project is evaluating solutions to improve DO water quality, by looking at the health of ecosystem Nationally others have employed various out of the box solutions in TMDLs
5 Year 1: December 2, 2014 Project Kick-off Meeting January 15, 2015 Salt Marsh/Shoreline Restoration February 27, 2015 Tidal Restrictions/Circulation Improvements March 19, 2015 Shellfish Propagation/Bio-Extraction May 20, 2015 Fresh Water Wetland Buffers Draft Report being prepared by Consultant TBD Capstone Meeting Years 2: Validation of priority topics Priority topic pilot demonstration projects Identify Low Hanging Fruit Modification of water quality models
6 ROMS Model can be run to evaluate: Water quality changes associated with: Point / Non-Point nitrogen reductions Removal of impoundments on the Blackstone WQ Impact of changing wastewater treatment plant outfall configurations WQ Impact of changing circulation patterns to eliminate zones of impairment or hot spots Nitrogen draw down expected by: Aquaculture projects Shellfish restoration projects Bio-extraction projects Floating wetlands
7 ROMS can be modified to evaluate effect of changes to bay over the past 100 years Map based on Hydrography Map clearly shows: Locations of wetlands & eelgrass beds Oyster beds (5000 leased acres) Seekonk River - 37 deep Providence River channel - 25 deep
8 1910 Coast Line in Red Map indicates City planned to Fill Bay and Build Roads Note: Much Shallower River Starved Goat Island What was flow circulation pattern in 1910? ROMS?
9 1910 Coastline in Red We filled the bay & wetlands Built the hurricane barrier Built Pawtuxet River breakwall Allowed rivers to silt up Dredged channel to 50+
10 Edgewood Shoals area is DO impaired!!! WHY??? We changed flow circulation patterns Poor flushing Nitrogen enrichment Stratification 2014 buoy data shows DO impairments within the gyre
11 Edgewood Shoal Gyre vs Bullocks Reach Edgewood Shoal estimated volume ~8 million cubic meters of low DO water Estimated 15 cubic meters/sec flow to Bay when gyre breaks up Can the Hot Spot be eliminated? ROMS can be used to model scenarios to break up the gyre
12 ROMS Model Indicates: Jet of water down the shipping channel Sets up a clockwise gyre on Shoal Bottom waters from Pawtuxet River transport nitrogen onto the shoal ROMS can model options to break up the gyre GYRE
13 Possible Sustainable Solutions Can we improve Bay WQ By Smart Engineering or other sustainable projects? Outfall relocation Selective dredging? Maybe create a channel to redirect flow over shoal - improve circulation? Remove or open breakwalls to improve circulation? Create islands, wetland habitats, natural buffers to redirect flow, protect shoreline, coastal resilience? Establish bio-extraction or aquaculture projects to utilize excess nutrients? ROMS can model these various options to evaluate WQ impacts
14 ROMS can Model WQ Impacts of Nitrogen Uptake Projects Bio-extraction Relay Aquaculture Oyster Bed & Shellfish Restoration Projects Goals & Benefits: Improved fisheries - shellfish & benthic species restoration & enhancement Once established, enhanced water filtration by shellfish Habitat creation & restoration - protects shoreline & provides habitat Create Green Jobs for the future Great WQ improvement for the buck Photos courtesy of: algaebiodiesel.com, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension
15 Hydro-modifications Breakwall alteration &Channel creation Dam Flow Management Maintain river flows necessary to maintain water quality WQ improvements by creating and restoring wetlands in Upper Bay Evaluate floating wetlands
