1 Sea Level Rise Adapta/on Guidelines for Sea Dikes & Coastal Development 2011 UBCM Conven-on Rising Oceans & Raising Dikes: Rethinking Coastal Development in a Changing Climate September 27, 2011 Jesal Shah, P.Eng. Flood Safety Engineer BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, & Natural Resource Opera/ons Boundary Bay, BC - February 4, 2006 Presenta/on Outline Legisla/ve Framework DraJ Sea Level Rise Adapta/on Guidelines for Sea Dikes & Coastal Development Coastal Floodplain Mapping Guidelines Next Steps Mark Hobson/Wickaninnish Inn 1

2 Legisla/ve Framework Local Governments have the authority to manage land use in flood hazard areas (e.g. Local Government Act & Land Title Act) Province sets guidelines published under the Environmental Management Act Legisla/ve Framework Dike Maintenance Act Province has authority to: Set design standards & promote best management prac/ces Approve changes to dikes & new dikes Monitor management of works by local diking authori/es Define responsibili/es of diking authori/es West Richmond Dike 2

3 Diking Authority Responsibili/es: Owns the dike, acquires legal access and administers dike opera/ons Inspects, maintains, repairs and restores works Responds to flood emergencies Note: Majority of diking authori/es are local governments (municipali/es and regional districts) Sea Level Rise Adapta-on Guidelines for Sea Dikes & Coastal Development Project Outputs Policy Discussion Paper Sea Dike Guidelines Coastal Flood Hazard Land Use Guidelines 3

4 Sea Dikes in Lower Mainland 125 km of dikes Extensive commercial, industrial, & agricultural development 200,000+ people Poten/ally Several Hundred $Million to Upgrade for SLR by 2100 Recommended Sea Level Rise Curve for Planning & Design 4

5 Sea Level Rise Important Design Factors Regional UpliJ/Subsidence High Tide Storm Surge Wind/Wave Effects Freeboard Sea Dike West Richmond Example Year 2100 ~ 3-5 m Includes SLR, wind set-up, storm surge, and wave run-up. 1:3 Rock Armour Slope Existing top of dike 3.55 m 1:3 Grass Slope 5

6 SLR Planning Area Based on specific local conditions Terrain, Vegetation, High Tide, SLR, Storm Surge, Wave Effects Flood Construction Levels & Setbacks Identify adaptation measures Consideration of appropriate land use zoning Conceptual Sketch - SLR Planning Area Regional Approach - How to establish consistency between communities Adapta/on Op/ons Avoid Concentrate urban uses outside floodplain areas. Provide setbacks to allow for SLR and shoreline changes, moving wetlands. Accommodate Elevate structures and some land areas. Use flood resistant building materials. Retreat Prohibit shoreline protec/on structures (individual proper/es) avoid ecological impacts. Plan to move flood sensi/ve land uses as SLR occurs. Protect Seawalls, Dikes Tide Gates, Storm Surge Barriers Dunes, Beachfill 6
