  1. PLANNING FOR RISING SEA LEVELS NBWA November 5, 2010

  2. Preliminary Study • Vulnerability • Adaptation Strategies • Next Steps

  3. HASPA Hayward Area Shoreline Planning Agency

  4. Potentialinundation • Light Blue – 16 in • Dark Blue – 55 in Source: USGS, BCDC

  5. Functions • Urban • Habitat • Storm drainage • Land fill • Sewage treatment • Utility corridors • Trails Oro Loma Marsh Triangle Marsh Cogswell Marsh Alkali Flat Hayward Marsh Oliver BrothersProperty

  6. Storm drainage • Designed for a certain bay elevation • Lack of drainage as MLLW rises • Structures fixed relative to tide frame • Upstream impacts will increase • Exposure increaseswith time • Adaptation mayrequire pumping • Opportunity toconsolidate

  7. Oro Loma wastewatertreatment plant Functions • Urban • Habitat • Storm drainage • Land fill • Wastewater • Utility corridors • Trails Solar drying ponds KOFY Alameda County West Winton Ave City of Haywardwastewatertreatment plant

  8. Functions Railroad • Urban • Habitat • Storm drainage • Land fill • Sewage treatment • Utility corridors • Trails PGE Cable EBDA line HP Gas Bay trail

  10. Erosion

  11. Groundwater Elevation Levee slope increases as mudflat lowers and levee raised Armored levee

  12. Hold the Line

  13. Hold the Line Levee slope increases as mudflat lowers and levee raised Armored levee

  14. Realign Rapid landward movement increases as sea level rises

  15. Opportunities - Sediment • Trapped in channels in watershed • Trapped in marinas further alongshore • In the past, sources were more diffuse

  16. Opportunities - Freshwater • Large amount of freshwater passes through area • Opportunity to reconfigure EBDA line • In the past, sources were more diffuse

  17. Opportunities – Brackish Marsh • Historic element of the Bay • Greater biomass, wave attenuation and sediment trapping • Grow the marshes upwards • Steepen the existing natural shoreline • Adaptively respond to changes in sea level
