2 Agenda Overview of City s Master Plan Value of an Updated Master Plan Floodplain Management Implementation Completed to Date Funding Evaluating a Stormwater Utility Summary Questions 2

3 The Foundation City had a Stormwater Master Plan completed in 2001 Stormwater Master Plan Update completed in 2010: Included data collection and surveying Utilized LIDAR Updated H&H models to existing conditions and future land use o 100-acre hydrologic units! Additional surveying and modeling for several critical reaches Developed prioritized recommendations for the City s CIP 3

4 Why Update the Stormwater Master Plan? Accounts for system changes over time Utilize more accurate and current data New data survey, LiDAR, updated land use, recent large storm events Accounted for additional area that contributes runoff to the City s stormwater management system Add detail and resolution to stormwater model Reassess and reprioritize issues/problem areas Assisted in City s effort to update its floodplain maps Accurately pinpoint problem areas and implement cost effective solutions $$ Savings 4

5 Original Stormwater Master Plan 2001 Stormwater Master Plan Update 2010 New LIDAR data Additional Survey and Detail 5

6 Stormwater Master Plan Update Fast Facts 5,851 acres of total watershed area added 41 total miles of creeks/ditches in the model 9 total miles of culverts/pipes in the model 581 total nodes of which 157 new nodes added 18 bridges of which 12 new bridges added 267 culverts/pipes of which 41 new culverts were added 6

7 Implementation of Stormwater Master Plan Recommendations Completed 2 construction projects to address critical issues Priority Stormwater Design Projects to address 5 critical problem areas Several preliminary engineering analysis to prioritize and address critical problem areas which included additional surveying 7

8 Floodplain Management The Comprehensive Floodplain Management started in January 2011 with the following goals: Mitigate flood risk Maintain existing infrastructure Identify at-risk properties Update FEMA flood insurance rate maps Join FEMA s CRS program Educate, inform and engage community residents and stakeholders Identify and pursue federal funding for projects 8

9 Floodplain Management What s been completed to date Floodplain Models and Maps updated Community Rating System (CRS) Roadmap developed Ordinance Revisions developed for consideration/recommendation Peer reviews completed for proposed developments Stormwater Utility Advisory Committee 9

10 FEMA Flood Map Modernization City of East Point is in the Upper Chattahoochee River Basin City of East Point Floodplain Management study/modeling leveraged into the GA DNR/FEMA Map Mod effort 10

11 Stream miles in Effective and Updated Study Utoy Creek South River Camp Creek Creek/River Effective (miles) New stream miles 4.9 mapped during updated study Camp Creek 20.8 South-Flint 3.1 Utoy Creek 7.4 Flint River Total 31.3 Updated (miles) Total (miles)

12 Public Outreach Floodplain Map Update Process Community meetings publicized Workshops conducted in each of the City s four wards Introduce maps to community Answer any questions Have one on one work sessions with residents at workshops Encourage residents to meet with their insurance agents Be Proactive!! Media Outreach EPTV GIS Portal - East Point website allows residents to view maps online 12

13 Preparing for CRS Benefits of entering the CRS program: Safer better prepared community Flood insurance discounts Potential insurance premium savings $15,000 to $140,000 total Range of savings per policy holder $80 to $700 per year (depending on CRS Rating achieved) Developed short-term and long-term implementation activities for the CRS program Public Outreach 13

14 Stormwater Utility Stormwater Advisory Committee Approximately 20 members comprised of church representatives, non-profit organizations, businesses, and residents from each ward Goal was to evaluate the stormwater needs for the City and carry forward the community s and SWAC s recommendation for a stormwater utility Participated in monthly meetings from June through January and participated in a field trip to view stormwater problems and solutions in the City 14

15 Stormwater Utility Stormwater Advisory Committee Recommendations Focused on Four Areas: Level of Service (what size stormwater program do we want) Funding Source Future Role of the Committee Public Information and Education 15

16 Stormwater Utility Level of Service Goal: Establish a utility that will fund a stormwater program for Fiscal Year 2013 Range being considered $1.7M up to $2.2M Basis This level will provide sufficient funding for all of the following: Personnel Regulatory compliance and required inspections Stormwater system maintenance program One or two capital projects or emergency projects per year Level of Service Ultimate Range of affordable options Existing CRS program enrollment and pursuit of grant opportunities Administration Capital Projects Operation & Maintenance 16

17 Stormwater Utility Funding Source Fees would be subject to change (pending Council approval) depending on the City s needs Impervious area is the equitable basis for a user fee SWAC prefers ERU methodology because it treats all residents equally Resulting revenues shall be used for stormwater program only 17

18 Anticipated Future Steps Interim and short-term implementation of CRS Roadmap Flood prone structure evaluation and ranking Grant application Stormwater management system evaluation CIP focused 18

19 Summary Build a strong foundation with a Living Master Plan Stormwater Master Plan Build upon the Master Plan to Implement Desired Goals Find a way to fund your program dedicated and recurring funding is the key Stormwater Utility Fund your program Floodplain Management 19
