CAP PROCESS HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

BUILDING STRONG


1. Have a conversation about what you would like to do and we will help identify the authority which is most applicable and can be most competitive

2. Formal letter to the Jacksonville District requesting assistance under one of the CAP authorities, (we have a template)

3. Conduct initial site visit and discussions 4. Prepare a Study Initiation Report (SIR) 5. SIR approval will place the potential project in the National CAP database as a

new start and qualify the project for $50K (Fed) to make a Federal Interest Determination (FID).The FID process will not begin until Congress releases a new start list. New start lists are being released every 6 months.

6. A positive FID qualifies the project for the remaining $50K (Fed) to conduct further analysis, prepare and execute a Feasibility Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA) with sponsor

7. Prepare feasibility report for approval… (approval is at our Division office)

8. Feasibility report approval 9. Prepare and execute Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) 10. Initiate Design & Implementation (DI) phase 11. Construct project 12. Project turnover to sponsor 13. Sponsor assumes O&M responsibilities

10

BUILDING STRONG


Site Visit, SIR Approval, FID & Draft FCSA: First $100K – all FED Feasibility Phase: 50/50 cost share of total study

cost…(NEPA and 33% design) All authorities, except Section 1135, 111 and 107,

have a 65/35* cost share of design and construction costs

* For structural flood damage reduction efforts, the non-Federal cost share can increase to 50% based on the cost of Real Estate contributions, 5% must be in cash. For non-structural measures, the non-Federal cost share is limited to 35% with no 5% cash requirement.

Boca Ciega Bay – CAP 103

BUILDING STRONG



Eroded beach east of central pier. The structure in the foreground is the historic dance hall, a nationally registered historic landmark.

Similar view as figure above depicting historic dance hall. Public beach, sidewalk and Shore Blvd. South are inundated allowing waves and water to reach landward residences and businesses.

Eroded beach east of central pier fronting businesses along Shore Blvd.

Same view as figure above, during Hurricane Francis, 2004.

Eroded beach west of central pier.

Similar view as figure above during coastal storm. Public beach is inundated, allowing waves and water to reach inland infrastructure.

Public parking and businesses along Shore Blvd. South which is inundated during storm events, causing damages and making businesses inaccessible.

Paddling down Shore Blvd. South during an inundation event.

BUILDING STRONG



Problems: During hurricanes and coastal storms, waves and

currents in Boca Ciega Bay cause inundation and erosion along an approximate quarter mile section of the Gulfport municipal, publicly accessible, beach. The public beaches have eroded, threatening the historic Gulfport Casino Ballroom, a nationally registered historic landmark. Elevated bay waters inundate local roads along Shore Boulevard South and cause damages to inland infrastructure, including private residences and businesses.

BUILDING STRONG



Opportunities: There are opportunities to

reduce damages caused by inundation, erosion, and wave attack affiliated with storm-induced high water events within the problem area.

Initial Management Measures: Structural

► Sea wall extension and tie-in at the park at the western end of the project area extending east to the municipal park beyond the Gulfport pier

► Construct a vegetated dune system ► Beach nourishment ► Beach and dune nourishment

Non-Structural

► The Non-Federal Sponsor acquires properties affected by the inundation

► This non-structural measure is expected to exceed the funding limits, however, it will still be evaluated in the feasibility study.

BUILDING STRONG



Objectives: Reduce inundation damages resulting

from storm induced elevated water levels along the quarter mile of public beach. Reduce erosion and wave attack impacts

to the nationally registered historic dance hall structure

BUILDING STRONG



Constraints: Potential issues with real estate acquisitions if

recommended plan, identified through the feasibility phase, extends to properties not owned by the Non-Federal Sponsor.

Minimal information currently available for existing drainage issues identified at the study location.

Environmental concerns with regard to established seagrass beds in and near the study area.

PACE – CAP 205 Problems: Repetitive flood losses from storms including Hurricane Frances in 2004, TS

Debbie in 2012, and 2003 flood events and 1998 El Niño event. Flood damages to property: Recorded flood events during the 2004

hurricane season, TS Debby in 2012, and July 2015 storms caused severe flooding resulting in damages to homes, public infrastructure, and businesses.

High groundwater levels exasperate flooding by limiting drainage available. Major flooding has led to overtopping of bridges and road closures. Evacuation routes State Road 54 and Little Road (which provide major

East-West and North-South routes respectively) are flooded during high storm events. Inundation of these roads presents a road hazard for drivers, limits emergency response vehicle access, and may impact evacuation and emergency management.

Two bridges (constructed prior to the County's participation in the flood program represent choke points) cause water to back up and overflow the roadway.

BUILDING STRONG


PACE – CAP 205

Opportunities: Reduce damage to property due to flooding. Reduce flood impacts to roadways. Support local economic and community resilience post-storm

through improved access to homes and businesses, reducing local financial losses due to inaccessible roads and inundated properties.

Allow more residents to “shelter in place” rather than evacuate for less severe storms, which would otherwise require evacuation.

Provide recreational access to waterways and improve green space for the community.

BUILDING STRONG


PACE – CAP 205

Objectives: Reduce flood impacts to homes and businesses Reduce damage to public infrastructure. Increase access to roadways impacted by flooding

BUILDING STRONG


PACE – CAP 205

Constraints: Avoid inducing or increasing flood impacts outside of the project

area. Avoid negative impacts to wellfields. A local agreement between the

different counties restrict pumping at wellfields which are regulated through state legislation and limits the ability to drawdown groundwater to provide additional storage.

Avoid negative impacts to Starkey Wilderness Park, wetlands, and other environmental resources.

Avoid negative impacts to cultural resources.

BUILDING STRONG


PACE – CAP 205 Initial Management Measures

Structural Nonstructural • Diversion channels • Retention areas • Pumping • Bridge modifications to allow more

flow under the bridge and prevent backup.

• Channel modifications, e.g., widening, deepening, or straightening channel segments to allow greater flow capacity in the channel and to eliminate areas where water backs up upstream.

• Flood proofing of homes by raising above the 100-yr flood level.

• Buyouts and relocations • Flood warning system

improvements may increase effectiveness of flood fighting and emergency response, thereby reducing flood impacts.
