City Response to Issues
• Virginia Beach City Council provided funding for a
comprehensive sea level rise and recurrent flooding
assessment and response plan in FY15
• Dewberry, a national consultant firm, retained by the City
to conduct study in January 2015
• City awarded $850k grant from NOAA in March 2016
• Collaborative effort with Stormwater Master Plan
4
Study Goal and Outcomes
Goal: Produce information and strategies that will enable Virginia Beach to establish long-term resilience to sea level rise and associated recurrent flooding
Outcomes:
• A full understanding of flood risk and anticipated changes over planning and infrastructure time horizons
• Actionable flood resilience plans that combine engineered protection measures, and/or floodplain management strategies
• A fine-tuned public outreach process to advance resilience initiatives
5
Phase 1: Sea Level Rise/Recurrent Flooding Impacts
• Objective: Identify the location, frequency and potential cost of existing and future flood risk to the City
• How will vulnerability change with increasing flood levels due to SLR?
• Where will we see the flood footprint expand?
• How much more frequent will flooding occur?
• What assets are vulnerable?
• What are the losses, how will they change?
• What assets are at the highest risk?

Flood Assessment Conditions
• Tidal• Daily tidal flooding
• Future permanent inundation
• Defined by NOAA, Mean Higher High Water
• Nuisance • Wind-driven surge, extreme tide events
• Repetitive losses/loss of function or service
• Defined by water level analysis
• Storm Surge• Nor’easters, tropical storms, hurricanes
• 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 500-yr recurrence intervals
• Defined by probabilistic analysis12
Southern Watershed Issues – Wind Tides
13
• Southerly winds push water into Back Bay, North Landing River
• Flood low-lying areas
• Instances since early 1900’s
• Ongoing area of focus
• Design water surface elevations in the Virginia Beach Public Works Standards and Specifications exceeds wind tide levels

Flood elevations - Not a static increase!
• SLR Integration: • 1.5 ft SLR scenario
• Added as a static increase to surge elevations
• Non-linear aspects captured through re-evaluation of dune erosion and wave modeling over increased water levels.
• 3 ft SLR scenario • Detailed modeling from USACE and North Carolina used to integrate non-
linear response in surge elevations
• Wave modeling and dune erosion also re-evaluated.

Projected Changes in Coastal Flooding
City-wide, areas subject to
flooding will increase:
• In 30-40 years: 1.5 times
• In 60-70 years: 2 times
Changes in the Southern
watershed represent 70-
80% of the city-wide total

Changes in Flood Risk –Southern Watershed

• Flood losses increase due

Public Engagement
• Capturing Perceptions, Increasing Issue AwarenessFall 2017
• Interactive public sessions to solicit public opinions and perceptions on flood issues and priorities
• Series of public presentations to acquaint public with study process, initial results, path forward
• Solution PerspectivesSpring 2018
• Initial presentation and gathering of public feedback on flood management strategies
• Plan AwarenessSummer/Fall 2018

ASHVILLE PARK ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
20
• CDM Smith performed hydraulic analyses of the Ashville Park stormwater system and developed solution alternatives.
• Model of stormwater system was developed using EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM).
• EPA SWMM is a complex mathematical model in widespread use across the country (gold standard).
• Nine months to complete, $218,000 to date
ASHVILLE PARK MODEL CALIBRATION
21
• Photos and information from the neighborhood helped provide guidance and after-the-fact water elevation data
• Public Works installed three water surface level gauges for data
• SWMM Model was calibrated using Tropical Storm Julia & Hurricane Matthew
• The model predicted flood water elevations that were within an inch of actual elevations for both storms
Outfall
The outfall system to Flanagan’s Lane and Sandbridge Road is
inadequate. The rock weir cannot pass nearly enough water during a
storm to keep the stormwater within the banks of the lakes
23
STUDY FINDINGS
The receiving ditches and channels
downstream of the outfall do not
have capacity to handle the
stormwater, resulting in higher water
elevations
When water levels are high in Back
Bay and Ashville Bridge Creek, even
less water can pass the outfall
STUDY FINDINGS (CONTINUED)
24
Subdivision Lakes & Stormwater Piping
▪ The stormwater piping and the lakes are inadequate
▪ There is not sufficient lake area to store runoff until it can drain through the system
▪ Higher water levels in the lakes prevent the stormwater pipes in the streets from draining quickly during and after storms
▪ Even with lowered lake elevations and more lake area, the pipe system cannot carry enough stormwater to keep the streets from flooding during significant events
ALTERNATIVES EVALUATED
25
▪ CDM Smith evaluated over 25 improvement scenarios and
provided detailed analyses of the four most viable alternatives
▪ All 4 alternatives provide similar benefits; however, no
improvement can provide complete protection from all storm
events (much greater than 100-year event)
▪ All 4 alternatives require major improvements & upgrades to the
neighborhood drainage system (within the streets)
▪ Alternative D is more resilient to future water levels because of
the location of the proposed pump station
▪ Alternative B is more conducive to phasing and its initial phases
can be implemented faster than the initial phases of Alternative D
▪ In addition to flood reduction, all alternatives provide additional
stormwater quality treatment through expanded and new BMPs
(wet ponds)
ASHVILLE PARK – ALTERNATIVE B
26
Hard Cost – $23.5M (does not include acquisition, utility adjustments or environmental mitigation costs)
ASHVILLE PARK – ALTERNATIVE D
27
Hard Cost – $21.2M (does not include acquisition, utility adjustments or environmental mitigation costs)
INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS – PHASED APPROACH
28
▪ The FY2018-23 CIP provides $9 million in funding which will allow for the first phase of Alternative B (a.k.a Scenario 5)
o Considerable decrease in flooding duration
o Incremental improvement in the depth of flooding
o Planning level opinion of cost is $8.2 million
▪ The neighborhood and the developer both indicate a desire to continue with the development as long as there are no adverse impacts to the stormwater system in the existing villages
▪ Public Works Engineering has begun the preliminary engineering design of the Scenario 5 improvements
POSSIBLE VILLAGE C COST-PARTICIPATION
30
▪ Scenario 5 improvements assume Village C will be developed
▪ HomeFed is interested in proceeding with Village C and cost-participating in Scenario 5
▪ Cost-participation based upon additional cost of the phased approach
▪ Cost share is $5.8M (71%) City, $2.4M (29%) HomeFed for initial phase (Alt. B, Scenario 5)
▪ HomeFed to cost participate up to $2.1M in future phases if Villages D & E proceed
ASHVILLE PARK INTERIM PROJECTS
31
▪ Dedicated 13 CFS portable pump to lower the 15-lake system prior to significant storm events (3” rain or greater)
▪ New weir and portable pump site will be constructed at existing outfall location to allow more discharge from the lake system and also prevent high water backflow into the system
▪ Weir construction scheduled for January 2018
Sherwood Lakes 1. Pump Station (5 CFS) with additional connection for temporary pump and generator
2. Intake pipe for pump station
3. Discharge Pipe from pump station
4. New storm sewer pipe (to provide some interconnection between the two ponds)
