2 Using GIS for Prioritization in Subwatershed Restoration Introduction Objectives Proposed Methodology Timeline Expected Results Conclusion
3 Introduction Overview (Part 1) Watersheds & Development Natural water cycle Impact of development on the water cycle Stormwater infrastructure extends the natural hydrology Evolution to Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) Watershed profiles
4 Natural Water Cycle Source: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (Complete diagram citation list included at the end of the presentation)
5 Impact of Development Urban development increases impervious surfaces (i.e., roads, parking lots, rooftops) and subsequent runoff Source: United States Environmental Protection Agency
6 Stormwater Infrastructure Extends the Natural Hydrology
7 Evolution to LID & BMPs Legacy Stormwater Practices Quickly and efficiently collect and funnel stormwater downstream Impact While successfully reducing local flooding, legacy stormwater practices result in increased runoff volume and speed, as well as degraded water quality Modern Stormwater Practices Increasingly Low Impact Development (LID) & Best Management Practices (BMPs) are being incorporated. These practices more closely mimic the natural water cycle, reducing runoff by retaining and handling more precipitation onsite
8 Watershed Profiles Watersheds are characterized by factors such as: Geography (i.e., topography, geology, plate tectonics) Environmental systems (i.e., ecology, meterology) Land use (i.e., wilderness, agricultural, urban) Zoning (i.e., industrial, retail, residential) Timing and policy (i.e., whether LID and BMPs were incorporated)
9 Introduction Overview (Part 2) Subwatershed Health & Restoration Impervious Cover Model Restoration options Geographic Information Systems Scope of this study
10 Impervious Cover Model (ICM) The Impervious Cover Model provides a valuable generalization of the relationship between impervious cover levels and stream health. Source: Center for Watershed Protection (Schueler et al 2009)
11 Restoration Options The Center for Watershed Protection (CWP) has developed and documented a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach in their Urban Subwatershed Restoration series. The CWP groups subwatershed restoration practices into several categories: Stormwater retrofits Stream repair Riparian management Watershed forestry Pollution source control Municipal practices Discharge prevention
12 Geographic Information Systems GIS can be used throughout the subwatershed restoration process Mapping Analysis Tracking Communication Education
13 Scope of this Study Focuses on using GIS analysis for prioritizing Subwatersheds Impervious surfaces (such as roads and rooftops) Effective impervious surfaces (incorporates stormwater infrastructure, such as pipes) Stormwater retrofits Disconnection of impervious surfaces (interrupts, collects, and handles subsets of runoff onsite) Riparian corridors Efforts in Black Creek (study area)
14 Stormwater Retrofit Types The Center for Watershed Protection divides stormwater retrofits into two categories Source: Center for Watershed Protection (Schueler 2007)
15 Terminology Riparian Corridors Riparian Management A subwatershed restoration category as defined by the Center for Watershed Protection Riparian Buffers - The area immediately adjacent to the stream that is protected by land use regulations Riparian Corridors The actual state of the area immediately adjacent to the stream as distinguished by the University of Connecticut's Center for Land Use Education & Research (CLEAR)
16 Black Creek Cary, NC Study Area Typical of many urban watersheds Characteristics: 3.3 square miles; Suburban; Largely built out; On the NC 303(d) Impaired Waters List Black Creek Watershed Association Development Problem: Indicates that a high volume and accumulation of toxic organic chemicals associated with a high percentage of impervious surfaces and subsequent runoff have degraded the water quality Efforts to date: Watershed health assessment, plan, educational presentations, hands-on volunteer projects Goals
17 Black Creek Subwatershed
18 Objective Overview Objective 1: Prioritize subwatersheds Objective 2: Develop the stormwater retrofit goal Objective 3: Prioritize restoration areas
19 Objective 1 Objective 1: Prioritize subwatersheds Concept: The Impervious Cover Model provides a valuable generalization Consideration: When and how the watershed was developed makes a difference Alternative Concept: Incorporate a division between legacy and modern stormwater practices Black Creek Deliverable: Impervious cover data sets allowing for the prioritization of legacy development
20 Objective 2 Objective 2: Develop the stormwater retrofit goal Concept: Typically set with pollutant-specific Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Consideration: If stormwater is the primary indicator, the issue involves volume and an array of pollutants Alternative Concept: Focus on disconnecting runoff (Eagleville Brook Model) Black Creek Deliverable: Target acreage amount for disconnection
21 Objective 3 Objective 3: Prioritize restoration areas Concept: The restoration goal (i.e., water quality or benthic diversity) guides efforts; local knowledge, aerial photography & contour maps can identify potential restoration areas Consideration: A significant number of potential restoration areas can be eliminated during the field assessment phase Alternative Concept: Incorporate the delineation between legacy and modern development, as well as differences in the riparian buffer, corridor, and idealized variable-width corridor
22 Objective 3 (Continued) Objective 3: Prioritize restoration areas Black Creek Deliverable: Identification of potential restoration areas prioritizing legacy stormwater retrofits and riparian corridor reinforcement opportunities
23 Objective 1 Prioritize Subwatersheds Black Creek Deliverable: Impervious cover data sets allowing for the prioritization of legacy development 1 Create subwatershed data sets based on drainage 2 Establish delineation point between legacy (funnel downstream) and modern (handle onsite) stormwater practices 3 Create legacy and modern impervious cover data sets 4 Map the results per subwatershed
24 Objective 1 - Example Results Legacy Impervious Cover per Subwatershed
25 Objective 1 - Example Results Combined Impervious Cover per Subwatershed
26 Objective 2 - Develop Stormwater Goal Black Creek Deliverable: Target amount of acreage to disconnect 1 Estimate the Total Drainage Area (in acres) 2 Estimate the Impervious Cover (in acres) 3 Determine the Target Effective Impervious Cover Percentage 4 Determine the Target Effective Impervious Cover Acreage (Target EIC% * Total Drainage Area) 5 Determine Target Acreage for Disconnection (IC Target EICA)
27 Objective 2 - Visual This visual is for demonstration purposes only. The Impervious Cover estimate in step 2 would be distributed throughout the subwatershed. The estimates in step 4 and 5 would still be conceptual targets requiring further analysis to attain.
28 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Black Creek Deliverable: Identification of potential restoration areas prioritizing legacy stormwater retrofits and riparian corridor reinforcement opportunities Overview: 1 Identify High Level Watershed Goals 2 Acquire or Create Needed Datasets 3 Conduct Initial Analysis
29 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Step 1: Identify High Level Subwatershed Goals The Center for Watershed Protection identifies several high level subwatershed restoration goals including Water quality Biology Physical / hydrology Community usage
30 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Step 2: Acquire or Create Needed Data Sets Existing Black Creek Watershed Association data includes Hydrology (Including updated GPS verification of stream detail) LandUse/LandCover (Plus Orthophoto, DEM, 5 & 10 ft contours, soils) Municipal (Greenway, parcels, parks, sewer, water, roads, schools) Research (Monitoring gauges & collection sites, watershed & subwatershed boundaries) Stormwater System (Updated/confirmed survey data)
31 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Step 2: Acquire or Create Needed Data Sets (Continued) Acquire or Create: For the stormwater retrofit analysis Subwatersheds (based on drainage) Impervious surfaces (legacy and modern) Parcels (legacy and modern) Disconnect Locations (project and non-project specific) Disconnect Drainage Areas (project and non-project specific) Hydrology (wetlands, floodplains) Municipal (neighborhoods)
32 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Step 2: Acquire or Create Needed Datasets (Continued) Acquire or Create (Continued): For the riparian corridor analysis Current Buffer Current Corridor Suggested Corridor (Wenger 1999) Base width (100 ft + 2 ft per 1% of slope) Extend to edge of floodplain Extend by width of adjacent wetlands Extend by width of impervious surfaces Exclude slopes over 25% Applicable to perennial and intermittent streams
33 Objective 3 Prioritize Restoration Areas Step 3: Conduct Analysis a)review subwatershed by category, identifying and prioritizing potential restoration areas Subwatersheds Stormwater Retrofits (storage) Stormwater Retrofits (onsite) Riparian Corridor b)estimate drainage of potential restoration areas c) Create list of sites d)refine prioritization e)map the results
34 Objective 3 - Example Results Potential Restoration Areas Though the map above was created for an unrelated project, this study's potential restoration area results would be similarly mapped with priority stormwater retrofit sites and riparian corridor reinforcement opportunities. Source: Center for Watershed Protection (Schueler 2007)
35 Expected Results Benefits - Prioritizing legacy development can lead to a more accurate high level comparison of subwatershed states and initial list of target rich restoration areas. Leveraging the power of GIS in this process can also more effectively utilize limited financial resources. Balance - It is counterproductive to overcomplicate the process. Challenges Establishing a delineation point between legacy and modern stormwater practices requires a review of the regulatory history and the delineation point can be somewhat subjective. Perspective This is a specialized study within the subwatershed restoration process. Legacy development is given higher priority due to its additional impact on the natural water cycle and its target rich restoration site pool. Modern development does, however, have an impact on stream health, many opportunities to incorporate LID practices likely exist, and, therefore, should not automatically be eliminated from consideration.
