Defining Level of Service based on Dynamic Environmental, Economic, and Social Challenges within the Barrier Island Community of Miami Beach May 2013

Jason A. Johnson, P.E.‐Senior Project Manager/Principal Engineer

City of Miami Beach Stormwater Conditions

• Land area is 7 square miles• Population of  ~88,000• Highly urbanized• Low and relatively flat terrain• Limited pervious area

– Existing development– New construction

• Tidal constraints and backflow• High groundwater table• Aging infrastructure 

in corrosive conditions

Stormwater Basics

City of Miami Beach Stormwater Management Master Plan

When the sea level rises:Water flows more slowly or even flows from the Bay to the streets

Storm water flows to catch basinsThrough large pipesOutfalls into Biscayne Bay

Stormwater Management Master Plan

The previous City Stormwater Management Master Plan was developed in 1997.

Old Plan determined needs by:– water quality– flooding potential– citizen complaints– City staff ranking 

New Plan determined needs by:– City‐wide model analysis– Water quality– Incorporates sea‐level rise 

projections

Two Sea Level Related Questions

What is the present sea level?

How fast is it rising?

Incorporating Sea‐Level Rise into Stormwater Planning

• Evaluate current tidal guidelines and requirements by other Government agencies:

• Evaluate 20 year projections for sea level rise– Use local data, when possible (i.e. Virginia Key)– Sensitivity analysis to tidal and rainfall conditions– Adaptability to varied sea‐level rise projections (i.e. USACE 

guidance document)

Recommendations from SWMMP Related to Sea‐Level Rise

• Monitor and participate in future regional recommendations related to sea level rise

• Follow USACE Civil Works and FEMA guidance in planning and design

• Monitor pending IPCC recommendations regarding sea‐level rise that are scheduled to be released to the public within the next three years

• Review tidal data in intervals and adapt the SWMMP as appropriate
