Resolutions Support from our Governing Body. The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact created in 2010 Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties To coordinate mitigation and adaptation activities across county lines. Miami-Dade County also formed the Office of Resiliency The Board of County Commissioners has approved the following resolutions: R-44-15: study feasibility of implementing Adaptation Action Areas R-45-15: ensure implementation of Climate Change Advisory Task Force Recommendations R-46-15: Develop formal adaptation planning process R-48-15: Continue to work with the Compact and S. FL Water Management District to address flood and sea level rise threats. R-451-14 May 6, 2014 requiring all County infrastructure projects to consider potential impacts of sea level rise. R-599-15 October 6, 2015 related to sea level rise for zoning applications and the comprehensive development Master Plan. 8
Assessment of Sea Level Rise/Salt Water Intrusion to Water Supply Wellfields Entered into Joint Funding Agreements with USGS for: Assessment of Seawater Encroachment Monitoring Network ($1.8 M) Development of an Integrated Model of Surface and Groundwater, including evaluation of sea level rise caused saltwater intrusion into water supply wellfields ($2.7 M) Water Resources Investigations, including ongoing monitoring of the salt front network ($5.6 M) 9
CANALS, STRUCTURE AND PUMP STATIONS 10
Over the next 30 years the existing surfacewater system can be effectively used to control saltwater intrusion in the Biscayne aquifer in areas where land surface elevations exceed expected high tides 11

Additional Ongoing Efforts Establish wave height at shoreline Lower intensity, more frequent surge event modeling Refine flooding inundation modeling for scenarios at WASD Pump Stations Prioritize Pump Stations based on risk of flooding Prioritize Pump Stations based on criticality 14
Exceptions Practicality of Measures Other Considerations 15
