8 SEA CHANGE SMC STEPS

9 WHAT THE REPORT IS AND ISN T What it Does Includes Bayshore and North Coast Uses best available mapping and data Raises awareness of key risks and impacts Provides a first step in a multiphase process Includes extensive coordination with cities, agencies, and others What it Doesn t Do Doesn t include south of Half Moon Bay Not a prioritization of risks Not any new regulations Not a complete inventory Not an analysis of fluvial flooding

10 VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT STEPS Develop approach Sea level rise mapping Countywide/ City-specific findings Case studies Initial adaptation planning ACTIONABLE OUTCOMES 10

11 30 CASE STUDIES Case studies include: San Carlos Airport Highway 101 Half Moon Bay Landfill Surfer s Beach

12 STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT & OUTREACH Technical Working Group Policy Advisory Committee Community Task Force Public Outreach

13 ASSESSMENT RESULTS 1% annual chance storm 1% annual chance storm feet 1% annual chance storm feet Data from Our Coast Our Future: 13

14 COUNTYWIDE FINDINGS 7,000 acres of wetlands $34 billion in assessed value 360 miles of roads Over 100,000 people Based on 3.3 feet of sea level rise and a 1% annual chance storm

15 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE STRUCTURAL SHORELINES AIRPORTS COMMUNITY LAND USES WASTEWATER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PARKS AND RECREATION GROUND TRANSPORTATION ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE SEAPORTS NATURAL ASSETS

16 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE NATURAL ASSETS Loss of natural flood protection; loss of biodiversity 7,090 / 8,381 wetland acres STRUCTURAL SHORELINES Failure of levees and other protective features, inundation of pump stations, damage to stormwater infrastructure 21 / 26 miles Based on 3.3 feet of sea level rise and a 1% annual chance storm

17 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE WASTEWATER Loss of wastewater system functionality; overflow of untreated waste; saltwater intrusion of treatment process 5 / 8 treatment plants GROUND TRANSPORTATION Erosion and inundation of highways and local roadways; loss of public transportation services (train, bus, BART, etc.) 70 / 360 highway miles 17

18 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE AIRPORTS Loss of airport operations; disruption of local and international transportation system 2/ 3 airports HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Human and environmental exposure to hazardous contaminants released from flooding event 472 / 1,672 sites

19 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE Temporary or permanent loss of power; inundation of pipelines and substations; corrosion of pipes from saltwater intrusion 12 / 44 electric substations COMMUNITY LAND USES Inundation of residential and commercial buildings; loss of health care and emergency care facilities; loss of police and fire services 30,604 residential parcels 19

20 KEY FINDINGS: COUNTYWIDE PARKS AND RECREATION Loss of trails due to erosion; temporary and permanent inundation of parks and trails 2 / 3 airports SEAPORTS Inundation of port access, railway, and port infrastructure; release of hazardous materials 1 / 1 seaports

21 MULTIPLE SOURCES OF VULNERABILITY Loss of power feed Inundation of facilities from Bay Inundation of roadways (access) Flooding from creek backup

22 CASCADING IMPACTS Residents unable to evaluate or reach medical services Major local, regional transportation delays Delay in emergency and police services response time Regional economic impacts

23 GOVERNANCE & VULNERABILITY Multiple property owners; shared jurisdiction Owners may not have decision making power Divergent mandates, dissimilar priorities Challenges posed by sea level rise do not fit within organizational mandates Unprecedented rate of change Complex permitting processes

24 KEY ADAPTATION STRATEGIES Regional or Multi-City City Localized Neighborhood Asset Sea wall, levee, or artificial reef Large-scale wetland restoration Zoning ordinances for flood-prone areas Updated building codes Wetland and habitat restoration Small-scale wetland restoration Stormwater improvements Retreat Design updates (e.g. floor elevation) Add floodproof measures Retreat

25 STRATEGY: PROTECT Coastal Armoring Habitat Restoration Beach Nourishment

26 STRATEGY: PROTECT Horizontal Levee Multipurpose Levee/Seawall Artificial Living Reefs

27 STRATEGY: ACCOMMODATE Elevation Floodproofing Floating Structures 27

28 STRATEGY: RETREAT Setbacks Rolling Easements Planned Retreat and Relocation Interboro Partners, Resilient by Design 28

29 EFFORTS ADDRESSING SEA LEVEL RISE Pacifica erosion control & LCP update Half Moon Bay LCP update Colma/San Bruno Creek Resilience Study SFO shoreline study Coyote Point Eastern Promenade Project Foster City Levee project South Bay Salt Pond restoration SAFER Bay project Data from Our Coast Our Future: 29
