  4. Identifying the Problem

  5. Solution to the Problem

  6. Task 1. Inventory and Compile Existing Vertical Control Infrastructure Delaware Reconnaissance • 1,465 Total benchmarks • 413 Recovered • 238 Suitable for Height Mod • 36 Not Suitable for Height Mod • 139 Not Suitable for GPS • 327 Not recovered • 692 Not Validated • Access issues • Thought to be destroyed • Water tower/Spire Project of special merit NA12NOS4190029 "Improving the Benchmark of Coastal Hazards Policy Implementation"

  7. Task 2. Conduct Height Modernization to establish backbone network and sentinel network • New Castle County • No additional benchmarks needed Kent County • 22 New benchmarks installed • Sussex County • 11 new benchmarks installed Project of special merit NA12NOS4190029 "Improving the Benchmark of Coastal Hazards Policy Implementation"

  8. Delaware Coastal Programs Current Needs for Accurate Elevation Data • Water Level Monitoring • Kitts Hummock • New Castle County Dikes • 5 historic dikes which serve for flood protection • Water Control Structures • In all three counties • Road Elevation Profiles • Access roads to coastal communities • Emergency Evacuation routes Project of special merit NA12NOS4190029 "Improving the Benchmark of Coastal Hazards Policy Implementation"
