ii Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Executive Summary This plan is intended to identify and assess flood hazards within the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, establish goals and objectives for floodplain management and resiliency, and to present a series of actions designed to minimize flooding and mitigate the impacts from flooding in the future. This Floodplain Management Plan was funded using Phase II- Post Sandy Planning Assistance Grant Funding from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs and will be incorporated as an element of the Borough’s Master Plan. This plan has been organized according to the guidelines of the 2013 National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System Coordinator’s Manual to maximize the amount of points available for credit in the Community Rating System Program and follows the 10-step planning process outlined in the manual. The planning process was conducted through a committee consisting of public members as well as Borough employees and officials. The committee met frequently throughout the planning process to discuss each step of the plan and provide input on suggested activities and actions. To assess the problems and flood hazards impacting the Borough of Point Pleasant beach, a review was done of all relevant planning studies, documents, and relevant zoning ordinances. Outside stakeholder agencies were contacted for input on the planning process. Historical flooding events, repetitive loss properties and known flood hazards were reviewed to determine problem areas within the Borough. Much of this work was completed utilizing the Borough’s newly created Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program. Possible activities to mitigate the impacts of flooding in the community were discussed. The committee determined a list of goals for the Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Plan and determined a prioritized list of action items from the list of possible activities, using the goals as guidance. The Borough’s recently updated Hazard Mitigation Plan was also used as a reference when determining proposed activities.

I. INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE AND SCOPE This plan has been prepared as the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach’s Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) and will be incorporated as an element of the Borough’s Master Plan. The FMP acts as an update to the 2007 Borough Plan by identifying and assessing flood hazards within the Borough, establishing the goals and objectives for floodplain management in Point Pleasant Beach, and presenting a series of actions designed to minimize flooding and mitigate the impacts from flooding in the future. The FMP also evaluates the need and potential options for wetland restoration and maintenance and/or other engineering control measures to mitigate potential storm surge in those areas of the Borough that may be vulnerable. The FMP also includes recommendations for the Borough’s current Floodplain Development Protection Ordinance. This Floodplain Management Plan is designed to maximize points available under the Community Rating System Program.
FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT PLANNING Floodplain management is defined by FEMA as the operation of a community program of preventive and corrective measures to reduce the risk of current and future flooding, resulting in a more resilient community. While FEMA has minimum floodplain management standards for communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), adopting higher standards will lead to safer, stronger, more resilient communities.
COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary incentive program of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that provides participating communities with discounted flood insurance premium rates for undertaking community floodplain management activities that exceed the minimum NFIP requirements. Flood insurance premium rates are discounted in increments of 5%, reflecting the reduced flood risk resulting from community actions in four categories: public information, mapping and regulations, flood damage reduction, and flood preparedness. The three goals of the Community Rating System Program are: 1. Reduce flood damage to insurable property; 2. Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and 3. Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.

II. BOROUGH OF POINT PLEASANT BEACH PROFILE Point Pleasant Beach is located in the Northeastern corner of Ocean County, New Jersey. It is bounded to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Borough of Bay Head, and Point Pleasant Borough to the west. The Manasquan River forms the northern boundary of the Borough and of Ocean County. Across the Manasquan River from Point Pleasant Beach are the Boroughs of Brielle and Manasquan in Monmouth County. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is approximately 1.79 square miles, with about 16% of Figure 1. Borough Map the Borough’s area comprised of water bodies including Lake of the Lilies, Little Silver Lake, Lake Louise, and the Manasquan River. Although the Atlantic Ocean forms the eastern boundary of the Borough, it is not considered to be located within the Borough. The Borough is a popular family vacation destination during the summer months. The Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk is approximately one mile long, spanning the coastline from the Manasquan Inlet in the north to New Jersey Avenue at the southern end. The
3 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
boardwalk contains Jenkinson’s Amusements, arcades, a number of restaurants, and mini-golf, as well as an Aquarium. Point Pleasant Beach is easily accessible by many forms of transit. New Jersey Route 35 runs north to south through the Borough, while New Jersey Route 88 runs east to west throughout the southern portion of the Borough. The Point Pleasant Beach Train Station is served by the New Jersey Transit North Jersey Coast line, which provides service from Bay Head to New York Penn Station. There is also NJ Transit bus services throughout the Borough. Additionally, Point Pleasant Beach is the northern terminus of the East Coast’s Intercoastal Waterway. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach has a moderate climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters. The Borough is located in the Coastal Climate zone, one of New Jersey’s five zones (Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist, Rutgers University). In the coastal zone, seasonal temperature fluctuations are less prone to extremes due to the high heat capacity of the Atlantic Ocean. During the fall months, temperatures in Point Pleasant Beach will remain slightly warmer than inland due to the warm ocean water nearby. Similarly, during the spring and early summer months, temperatures will often be cooler than further inland.
POPULATION TRENDS The 2015 Point Pleasant Beach Master Plan Reexamination Report found that the Borough’s population had declined by 12.2 percent in the period from 2000 to 2010, from 5,314 to 4,665. During the same time period Ocean County’s population increased by 12.8 percent and the State of New Jersey’s by 4.5 percent. The population of Point Pleasant Beach also aged during the decade from 2000- 2010, with a median age increase to 45.7 years old. It should be noted that these census counts were taken prior to Sandy and do not account for any residents who have been displaced by the storm, or new residents moving to Point Pleasant Beach post- Sandy.

III. PROJECT ORGANIZATION & PUBLIC MEETINGS T & M Associates assisted the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach in preparing this Floodplain Management Plan. The planning process was conducted under the supervision of a New Jersey licensed professional planner. The planning process was conducted through a Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee consisting of both Borough staff and representatives of the public. The Committee was formed by Borough Council Resolution 2015-01 and met on a bi-weekly basis from March 2015 to May 2015 to discuss the existing hazards and problems related to flooding in the Borough, review potential goals and hazard mitigation activities, prepare an action plan, and make recommendations to revise existing Borough Ordinances. The resolution forming the Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee can be found in Appendix A and outlines of all steering committee meetings can be found in Appendix B. The following are the members of the Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee: Public Officials: o Tom Migut, Council o Guy Dempsey, OEM o Michael Gardner, Construction Code Official o Ray Savacool, Borough Engineer Members of the Public: o Seth Sloan, Resident o Karen Mills, Resident o Carolyn Slachetka, Resident o Bruce Fioretti, Resident o Maryann Ellsworth, Resident In addition to the Steering Committee meetings, a separate public information meeting was held during the initial stages of planning on March 9, 2015. This meeting was publicly advertised on the Borough website and open to all members of the public. The public was informed of the proposed Floodplain Management Plan and was given the opportunity to provide input and recommendations. A second open public meeting was held on May 27, 2015. The proposed Floodplain Management Plan was presented to the Board and the public was encouraged to provide input on the recommended plan. Additional information on these public meetings can be found in Appendix C.

IV. FLOOD HAZARD ASSESSMENT
EXISTING DOCUMENTS It is important to coordinate floodplain management goals with other planning and community development goals in Point Pleasant Beach. As part of the planning process, the following documents were reviewed: 1992 Master Plan Land Use Plan 2007 Master Plan Reexamination Report 2007 Floodplain Management Plan 2008 Municipal Stormwater Management Plan 2014 Strategic Recovery Planning Report 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan Recent Zoning Amendments Information from the following documents was identified as important to the floodplain management planning process:
1992 Master Plan Land Use Plan The 1992 Master Plan Land Use Plan updated the land use element of the borough’s 1978 Comprehensive Master Plan. The following goals and objectives are relevant to floodplain management planning: Recognize the importance of protecting and stabilizing established residential and commercial areas of the borough. Adequately relate planning in the borough to adjoining municipalities, Ocean County, and the State of New Jersey to assure full recognition of regional planning issues. Protect and preserve areas of environmental sensitivity, such as wetlands. Restrict impervious surface coverage through the development regulations ordinance as a way of controlling stormwater runoff. Regulate development in recognition of the importance of retaining the borough’s valuable natural resources, including the beach, views of the ocean, and relationship to the Manasquan River.
2007 Master Plan Reexamination Report The 2007 Master Plan Reexamination Report recommended the following changes to the 1992 Master Plan that may be relevant to this floodplain management plan: Evaluate the appropriateness of establishing FAR
6 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Develop form based code that uses graphics to clearly illustrate ordinance requirements Revise the zoning ordinance as appropriate to incorporate land use and design concepts along the Broadway Avenue and Channel Drive Corridor in accordance with the Broadway Avenue Plan currently being prepared by the Borough
2007 Floodplain Management Plan The borough’s Floodplain Management Plan was originally adopted in 2007, and outlines the strategy that the borough will employ to address stormwater-related impacts. This plan can provide a basis for this floodplain management plan update. The 2007 plan set forth the following goals: Reduce flooding by preventing tidal backflow; Facilitate and upgrade stormwater facilities for proper drainage; Decrease wave wash over by maintaining beach and dune programs; Review the latest technology for flood reduction; Reduce losses by promoting retrofitting or elevating flood prone structures; Promote public education on all measures for flood safety and loss reduction; Reduce impermeable surface area to facilitate drainage; Reduce losses by continuing to develop and improve the existing warning system and maintain it, as well as hold drills and exercises to test the plan; Update evacuation plan and other hazard plans; and, Acquire open space property located in the floodplain to prevent development.
2008 Municipal Stormwater Management Plan The following goals from the 2008 Municipal Stormwater Management Plan are relevant to this floodplain management plan: Require the use of native vegetation within the planting strip and buffer areas in the Highway Commercial, Resort Commercial, Limited Commercial, and Marine Commercial zones Mitigation of stormwater runoff for lots with impervious surfaces greater than allowed by Zoning when application for non-conforming uses is made Native vegetation to be used for parking lots and loading areas
2014 Strategic Recovery Planning Report The Strategic Recovery and Planning Report, adopted in 2014, discusses the vulnerabilities that have been exacerbated by Hurricane Sandy, and the opportunities it created. They are as follows: Vulnerabilities exacerbated:
7 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Hurricane Sandy exacerbated the vulnerabilities posed by the low elevation of residences and businesses located in flooded areas of Point Pleasant Beach Borough. The loss of power throughout the borough also exposed residents to dangerously cold nighttime temperatures, and wave action presented serious threats to life and property. The hurricane weakened bulkheads and caused shoreline erosion. This made the borough vulnerable to flooding and wave action. Extensive damage to dunes also increased the borough’s vulnerability to flooding and wave action. Though dunes have been repaired, the fiscal impact on the municipal budget was significant.
Opportunities Created: Hurricane Sandy has provided Point Pleasant Beach Borough with an important learning opportunity, and its impacts demonstrate that the borough may become more resilient to future hurricanes and storms by doing the following: Promoting increased cooperation between municipalities and utilities; Promoting public awareness of the importance of hazard mitigation and the need to develop resiliency; Focusing the attention of public entities on issues, such as flooding, high winds, and vulnerabilities; Encouraging regional solutions to flood- and storm-related impacts; and, Ensuring that future and reconstructed capital projects are designed and constructed to incorporate features that are resilient to storm- and hurricane- related impacts.
The SPRP also recommended the following actions to promote recovery: Incorporate the principles of the 2013 Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazard Mitigation Plan into the Point Pleasant Beach Borough Master Plan Investigate opportunities for shared services and mutual aid, in particular with adjoining communities to improve emergency response for a greater number of residents. Consider providing a new generator at the municipal building. Provide natural gas backup service for generators Provide the Department of Public Works with an emergency staging facility Update Floodplain Management Plan Automate and expedite processing of building and zoning permits
8 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Reexamine the Borough’s Master Plan Elements and prepare a sustainability element to address post- Sandy strategies and policies related to hazard mitigation, community resiliency and forecasted sea level rise and its impacts. This should involve amending the goals and objectives, incorporating areas of redevelopment, as well as up-to-date mapping of current land uses, new FEMA mapping, community facilities, and important natural resource areas. Prepare and adopt a debris management plan. Revise the Borough’s zoning ordinance in accordance with the updates of the master plan and floodplain management plan. Streamline development review process. Develop a GIS database and user interface to catalog and inventory all infrastructure owned by the Borough, including roadways and its stormwater and sanitary sewer collection systems. The will include up-to-date GPS mapping of the utility infrastructure, as well as inventory and classification of the road network to build a Borough-wide capital improvement plan. Reinforce existing and provide new bulkheads at various locations. Investigate feasibility of providing dunes along entire beachfront. Develop recovery information resources and a training program for Borough staff Continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program
Recent Zoning Provisions In response to the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach passed a number of zoning ordinances to facilitate rebuilding in a more resilient manner. They are as follows:
2012-37 Reconstruction of Single Family Residential Housing Units Non-conforming single family dwellings in LR, SF-2, SF-5, HR, RR-1, RR-2, & RR-3 that have been destroyed by an act of god can be rebuilt in the same footprint

A sample letter that was sent out can be found in Appendix D. Many agencies responded and discussed information that could be beneficial to the Borough’s Plan. An example of this work is the various mapping provided by the Jacques Cousteau Reserve and the Rutgers University Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis (CRSSA). A log of all agencies contacted, along with their responses can be found in Appendix E.
FLOODING HISTORY Description of Known Flood Hazards The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is currently in the process of being updated. The Effective FIRM maps dated September 25, 2009 can be found in Appendix F. The Advisory Base Flood Maps, which were adopted shortly after Hurricane Sandy, can be found in Appendix G. The new Preliminary FIRM maps issued on January 31, 2014 indicates that the majority of the Borough is located within the Special Flood Hazard Area, with the exception of a small area west of Route 35. The Point Pleasant Beach Police Department, Municipal Building, a fire station, and a United States Coast Guard Station are located within the 100 year floodplain on the preliminary FIRM. The Preliminary FIRM map for the Borough is identified in Figure 2. below and in Appendix H. Point Pleasant Beach is in a coastal flood hazard area. Severe flooding in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is caused by storm surge from the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, flooding is caused by the Manasquan River and high water levels in the Borough’s lakes; the Lake of the Lillies, Little Silver Lake, and Lake Louise. Much of the repetitive loss area in Point Pleasant Beach is near Little Silver Lake and Lake Louise. Severe flooding in these areas are caused by extreme tides.

14 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
There are three designated flood zones in Point Pleasant Beach, the VE Zone, AE Zone and AO zone. VE Zones are areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event with additional hazards due to storm-induced velocity wave action. Wave heights are three feet or greater. Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are derived from detailed hydraulic analyses and are indicated by the elevation provided. Among other criteria, the lowest horizontal structural member of a proposed structure must be located above the BFE in V Zones. AE Zones are areas subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual- chance flood event determined by detailed methods. Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) are shown. AO Zones are areas subject to inundation by 1-percent-annual-chance shallow flooding (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain) where average depths are between one and three feet. Average flood depths derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are shown in this zone. In addition to the above designations Point Pleasant Beach also contains some areas mapped as Coastal A Zones. These are areas adjacent to V Zones where waves could be propagated of greater than 1.5 feet but less than 3 feet. Laboratory tests and field data has shown that a wave as small as 1.5 feet may cause failure of light framed or masonry walls and in these designated areas V Zone construction standards are recommended. A graphic depiction of the flood zones can be found below in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Flood Hazard Area Description
15 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Point Pleasant Beach is bordered to the north by the Manasquan Inlet and to the south by the Borough of Bay Head. Bay Head is at the northern terminus of Barnegat Bay which ends at Twilight Lake. There is a string of three lakes between the two; Lake Louise, a tidal impoundment with access to the Manasquan River, Little Silver Lake, a brackish lake, and Lake Louise whose natural discharge is to Twilight Lake. Connecting these bodies of water defines the lowest points in Point Pleasant Beach and the areas most susceptible to flooding. The majority of runoff in the Borough is directed to these three lakes. During periods of high tide drainage out of Lake Louise and Little Silver Lake are inhibited by high tides leading to localized street flooding. Flow from Lake of the Lillies is controlled by the Sea Avenue Pump Station which discharges to Twilight Lake during low flow conditions and directly to the Atlantic Ocean during severe events. The pump station was shut down during Hurricane Sandy since coastal flooding inundated the area and its use would have been ineffective. Hurricane Sandy made landfall along the coast of New Jersey on October 29, 2012, causing major flooding and destruction. This event has become the flood of record (the highest flood recorded) for much of New Jersey and New York. Where available, Hurricane Sandy Surge Elevations were mapped throughout Point Pleasant Beach and surrounding communities and are noted on the Preliminary FIRM map located in Figure 2 above and in Appendix H. A map of the Sandy Surge Extent can be found in Appendix I. Storm Surge elevation data can be found in the report entitled ‘Monitoring Storm Tide and Flooding from Hurricane Sandy Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, October 2012,’ and is located at the following web site http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2013/1043/ Additional description of the effort to gather surge data can be found at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/wms/suro_hurricanesandy_njwatermonitoring_meeting.pdf
Historical Flooding Events Point Pleasant Beach is susceptible to flooding from the Atlantic Ocean and Manasquan River and has flooded repeatedly throughout time. Some of the major storm events that have affected the Borough and the greater Ocean County area with flooding and damage are as follows: September 14 – 15, 1944: A Category 2 hurricane passed within 47 miles of the coast of New Jersey in September 1944, producing wind velocities over 100 mph and a maximum tidal elevation of 7.4 feet at the gage in Sandy Hook. Hurricane Donna: On September 12, 1960 Hurricane Donna was classified as a Category 2 hurricane when it reached Monmouth County. Wind speeds of up to
16 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
110 mph were recorded, as was a maximum tidal elevation of 8.6 feet at Sandy Hook. The Ash Wednesday Storm: A nor’easter struck the coast of New Jersey lasting 3 days and 5 tidal cycles from March 6- 8, 1962, causing massive amounts of destruction and 10 deaths in the state of New Jersey. Hurricane Belle: On August 9, 1976, Hurricane Belle impacted New Jersey as a Category 1 hurricane with wind speeds of up to 90 mph. In Asbury Park, 2.56 inches of rain was recorded as having fallen in a 24-hour period. March 1984: This nor’easter coincided with astronomically high tides and caused flooding, erosion, and damage to roads and boardwalks. Hurricane Gloria: On September 27, 1985, Hurricane Gloria came onshore in Long Island, NY as a Category 2 hurricane. The storm caused extensive power outages through New Jersey and forced people to be evacuated from their homes. However, coastal flooding was minimized as the peak storm surge arrived during low tide. The Perfect Storm: The Perfect Storm, also known as the Halloween Storm, was a nor’easter that caused coastal flooding on October 31, 1991. The Storm that Stole Christmas: A nor’easter struck the coast of New Jersey on December 11, 1992 and continued to impact the area through eleven (11) tidal cycles, causing extensive beach erosion and a 3 to 5 foot storm surge. Tropical Storm Floyd: Tropical Storm Floyd impacted New Jersey on July 16, 1999. Heavy rains coincided with high tide to exacerbate flooding. However, the greatest impacts were felt away from coastal areas in Bergen and Somerset Counties. Tropical Storm Irene: Tropical Storm Irene produced heavy rains from August 27-28, 2011, causing tidal flooding and beach erosion, making it the costliest storm in New Jersey after Hurricane Floyd prior to Hurricane Sandy.
17 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Figure 4. Damage from Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Sandy: Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Brigantine on October 29, 2012, becoming the costliest natural disaster in the State of New Jersey and second only to Hurricane Katrina nationwide. The coastal areas of Monmouth and Ocean Counties were among the hardest hit with record breaking high tides and wave action. Many homes throughout the coastal communities were destroyed or impacted by severe flooding. All communities within Ocean County faced power outages, some lasting up to two (2) weeks.
Storms with Repetitive Loss Using repetitive loss data provided by FEMA, areas in Point Pleasant Beach were identified as generally being affected by flooding. A repetitive loss property is classified as one which has experienced two or more claims of more than $1,000 that have been paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) within any 10 year period since 1978. To protect the privacy of homeowner’s individual repetitive loss properties were not mapped, but rather a 200 foot buffer was created around each
18 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
repetitive loss property and any parcel falling in the buffer was categorized as in an area generally affected by flooding. The highest concentration of repetitive loss properties are located surrounding the two most northern lakes in the Borough, in some of Point Pleasant’s most low-lying areas. Numerous homes in this area were substantially damaged during Hurricane Sandy. A map of the repetitive loss areas in Point Pleasant Beach can be found in Appendix J. The average number of losses per repetitive loss property in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is two (2). The average pay-out per loss for a repetitive loss property in the Borough is $48,554, with an average total pay-out per property of $112,018 for all loses. Storm events that have resulted in repetitive losses since 1978 include: Blizzard of ’78: The Blizzard of 1978 was a nor’easter that impacted the northeastern portion of the United States from February 5- 7, 1978. Heavy snow and winds contributed to the flooding in Point Pleasant Beach. One (1) repetitive loss property in Point Pleasant Beach filed claims for this event on February 6, 1978. July 4, 1978: One (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property was made for this event.

August 21, 1985: One (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property was made for this event. Hurricane Gloria: Hurricane Gloria was a Category 2 storm when it made landfall in Long Island, NY. Hurricane Gloria caused extensive power outages throughout New Jersey due to a large amount of downed trees. Although the storm surge averaged about 6.5 feet above predicted tide levels, the peak surge arrived during low tide, minimizing coastal flooding. In the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, five (5) flood insurance claims on repetitive loss properties were made on September 27, 1985 for this event. August 11, 1989: One (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property was made for this event. October 3, 1991: One (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property was made for this event. The Perfect Storm (The Halloween Storm): The Perfect Storm, also known as the Halloween Nor’easter, was a nor’easter that caused extensive damage along the east coast from North Carolina to Maine. It began on October 28th and lasted until November 1, 1991. On October 30, 1991, one (1) flood claim for repetitive loss properties were made in Point Pleasant Beach and two (2) were made on October 31, 1991; totaling three (3) claims for this event. August 18, 1992: One (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property was made for this event. “The Storm that Stole Christmas”: The nor’easter of December 1992 caused massive coastal flooding and erosion. Hurricane force winds, a lunar eclipse, a full moon, and four inches of rain in 24 hours all contributed to the flooding. The strongest portion of the storm remained over New Jersey for several days, resulting in elevated surge levels through a number of tidal cycles. In Point Pleasant Beach, 32 flood insurance claims were made on repetitive loss properties on December 11, 1992. Blizzard: A federal emergency declaration was declared for a blizzard from March 13, 1993 to March 17, 1993 in the State of New Jersey. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach had seven (7) flood insurance claims for repetitive loss properties due to this event on March 13, 1993.

On March 13, 2010, one (1) flood insurance claim for a repetitive loss property was filed in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach. Tropical Storm Irene: Tropical Storm Irene caused flooding throughout the state of New Jersey. In the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, a total of sixty-seven (67) flood insurance claims were submitted for repetitive loss properties; fifteen (15) of these on August 27, 2011, forty-seven (47) on August 28th, four (4) on August 29th, and one (1) on August 30, 2011. Tropical Storm Lee: Tropical Storm Lee caused heavy rain throughout the state of New Jersey and led to one (1) flood insurance claim from a repetitive loss property in Point Pleasant Beach on September 8, 2011. Hurricane Sandy: Hurricane Sandy is the costliest storm to hit the state of New Jersey. It caused extensive damage and severe flooding throughout the state. Coastal Ocean County was one of the areas hardest hit by the storm with power outages in some areas lasting up to two weeks. A total of eighty-one (81) flood insurance claims were filed on repetitive loss properties during Hurricane Sandy. On October 29, 2012 seventy-two (72) claims were filed, followed by seven (7) on October 30th, and two (2) on October 31, 2012. Nor’easter: One week after Hurricane Sandy a nor’easter hit the area, bringing significant amounts of snow and causing additional power outages. The Weather Channel named the storm Winter Storm Athena, although the National Weather Service does not recognize the naming of winter storms. One (1) repetitive loss property in Point Pleasant Beach filed a claim for this flood event on November 4, 2012.

August 13, 2014: One (1) repetitive loss property in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach filed a claim for this flood event.
DESCRIPTION OF FUTURE EVENTS FOR OTHER HAZARDS In addition to flooding, the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is susceptible to a number of other hazards. While the intent of this plan is to focus on flood hazards, it is important to identify and recognize other hazards that impact the Borough. Information on other hazards was taken from the 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All- Hazards Mitigation Plan.
Coastal Erosion Coastal erosion occurs when more sediment is being lost than is being gained at a particular location. Coastal erosion can result from natural or man-made causes, including sea level rise, flooding, strong wave action or large storms, some types of shore protection structures, some land uses, and other alterations to the natural environment. Coastal erosion can occur gradually, as shorelines recede over a period of time or can be caused by a rapid recession of shoreline due to another hazard event. Erosion increases the vulnerability of near-shore structures to damage from storms and flooding events. The impacts of coastal erosion can be lessened by implementing living shoreline techniques, undertaking a variety of shoreline protection measures, and frequent beach nourishment projects.
Climate Change The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach will be affected by increasing sea levels along the oceanfront and Manasquan River. The effects of sea level rise will be more pronounced in low-lying areas of the Borough and will exacerbate problems with flooding. Additionally, severe storm events are predicted to become more frequent as the climate warms. The impacts of climate change in the future will depend on the rate which sea level rises and human actions and response to the threats caused by climate change. Sea level rise will worsen the
Dam Failure There are no dams in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach nor are there any dams upstream whose failure would affect flooding in Point Pleasant Beach; therefore, the hazard from a dam failure is low.
22 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Drought A drought is a period of low or no precipitation in a given area. The severity of the drought depends on the length of time, geographic reach, regional water supply demands, and the impact of other hazards, such as extreme heat. There is a low probability of severe drought conditions occurring in Point Pleasant Beach, due to Borough’s relatively low elevation and abundant groundwater supply; although short term, less severe droughts may be more likely. If extended drought conditions do occur in Point Pleasant Beach, the Borough may be subject to restricted water usage and other regulations. Recent periods of drought in New Jersey include: October 1997 1998- 1999 October 2001- 2002 August- September 2008 August to October 2010
Earthquake The probability of a significant, damaging earthquake in Point Pleasant Beach is low. While low magnitude earthquakes do occur throughout New Jersey on a fairly regular basis, most earthquakes impacting Point Pleasant Beach will have only minor effects. The greatest probability of an earthquake occurrence in New Jersey exists in the northern portion of the State near the Ramapo Fault.
Extreme Temperature Point Pleasant Beach is highly susceptible to both extreme heat and extreme cold events. The Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All-Hazards Mitigation Plan defines extreme heats as occurring when temperatures hover 10 degrees or more above the average high temperature for a region for several weeks. The plan defines extreme cold temperatures as well below the average level for an area during the winter and often coinciding with winter storm events. Long periods of extreme temperatures can overstress power supply systems, resulting in brown-outs or black outs and leaving residents without heat or air conditioning. Generally, the impact on humans of extreme weather events is minimal, with the exception of the very young and elderly populations, who are more susceptible to the health impacts of extreme temperatures. If the population of Point Pleasant Beach continues to age, the vulnerability to extreme temperature events will increase. Improved weather forecasting, community warnings, and community preparedness can help to reduce the risks of extreme weather events to vulnerable populations.
23 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Extreme Cold Extreme cold events often accompany a winter storm or occur soon after. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia. Recent periods of extreme cold in Point Pleasant Beach include: Jan 14- 29, 2003 Jan 9-11, 2004 Jan 16- 18, 2009 Jan 23, 2014 Jan 4, 7, & 22, 2014
Extreme Heat Point Pleasant Beach is more likely to experience extreme heat than extreme cold events. Extreme heat events occur during the summertime when the weather in Point Pleasant Beach is substantially hotter and/or more humid than the Borough average for that time of year. Recent periods of extreme heat include: July 4- 11, 1999 August 1-3, 2006 June 7-10, 2008 July 5-7, 2010 July 21- 24, 2011 July 17- 18, 2012 July 18-19, 2013 The extent of extremely hot temperatures are typically measured through the Heat Index, which calculates the temperature that is felt when the effects or relative humidity are added to the base air temperature, highlighting dangerous extreme heat conditions. The NOAA National Weather Service Heat Index is illustrated in Figure 5, below.
24 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Figure 5. NOAA National Weather Service Heat Index
Extreme Wind Extreme wind can occur alone or with other natural hazards, often occurring during thunderstorms. The impacts of extreme winds can be critical and can include flying debris and downed trees and power lines. The probability of future extreme wind events is high, with an average of 5- 10 extreme wind events occurring each year in the Central New Jersey region. Recent extreme wind events near Ocean County, New Jersey include: Thunderstorm on September 9, 1998 Thunderstorm on August 7, 2000 Thunderstorm on August 2, 2002 Thunderstorm on July 22, 2003 January 18, 2006 Thunderstorm on August 17, 2007 February 13, 2008 March 5, 2008

March 13, 2010 Hurricane Irene, August 27- 28, 2011 Hurricane Sandy, October 29, 2012
Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, & Nor’easters Hurricanes, tropical storms, and nor’easters are events consisting of a number of damaging hazards including heavy precipitation, high winds, wave action, storm surge, coastal flooding, and coastal erosion. All of New Jersey, including the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, falls within the Hurricane Susceptible Region, and there is a 24- 36% chance of experiencing a tropical storm or hurricane event between June and November of any given year in Ocean County. Ocean County lies within a design Zone II, meaning that shelters and critical facilities should be designed to withstand a 3 second wind gust of up to 160 mph. Nor’easters generally Figure 6. Hurricane Sandy Damaged Boardwalk occur during the winter months and are named after the wind direction of the storm. They tend to last for more than one tidal cycle, often generating flooding events. Severe storms that have impacted the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach with flood damages were discussed in the Historical Flooding Events section of this document.
Lightning Point Pleasant Beach is susceptible to lightning events, but not as much as other areas of the United States, particularly the Southeast. The probability of future lightning events
26 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
in Point Pleasant Beach is certain, however, lightning often occurs with other natural hazards, such as thunderstorms.
Storm Surge All coastal areas are at high risk for storm surge. The severity of storm surge is generally related to the severity of the storm making landfall, as well as the tidal and lunar cycles.
Tornado The probability of a tornado in Point Pleasant Beach is low. If a tornado is to occur, it is mostly likely to do so between March and August, forming in the late afternoon or early evening at the trailing edge of a thunderstorm.
Wave Action All immediate coastal and shoreline areas along the Atlantic Ocean are at risk from wave action. Waves are caused by wind during storm events, even those which remain offshore, and generally the more severe the storm, the more destructive waves become. The size of wind generated waves is related to the speed of the wind, the distance over which the wind travels (the fetch length) and the depth of the water. Wave action will affect the areas of Point Pleasant Beach located along the Atlantic Ocean in the coastal flood hazard velocity zone. Velocity zone is an area where a 3 foot wave is capable of being propagated and the hazard from the force of those waves is high. Beyond the velocity zone is an area known as the Coastal A Zone where waves of from 1.5 to 3 feet are capable of being propagated. Post storm analysis has shown that a wave of this height is still capable of producing damage to building using typical construction techniques.
Wildfire Wildfires typically occur in unoccupied, rural, or forested areas and happen during the fall and spring when it is hot and dry. In New Jersey, 99% of wildfires are caused by human activity. Due to the developed nature of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, the probability of wildfires occurring is low, although the probability of wildfires occurring in Ocean County is high, due to the presence of the Pinelands.
Winter Storms Although the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is located south of the typical boundary between freezing and non-freezing precipitation during the wintertime, there is a high probability of occurrence of winter storms in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, with
27 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Coastal Ocean County averaging approximately 15 inches of snowfall annually. Winter storms generally occur from November through mid- April, with the peak season being December through March. Winter storms can consist of blizzards, heavy snow, sleet, and/or ice storms. Winter storms can result in downed trees, damaged vegetation, transportation accidents, road closings, stranded travelers, power outages, and a depletion of heating supplies. They can cause major disruptions to transportation, commerce, and electrical power. Recent winter storm events that have impacted the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach include: January 6-8, 1996 February 16-17, 2003 January 22, 2005 February 17, 2007 December 26, 2010 November 7-8, 2012
SPECIAL FLOOD RELATED HAZARDS There are many special localized situations in which flooding or flood-related problems do not fit the national norm for riverine and coastal floodplain management. These special flood-related hazards include:
Uncertain Flow Paths Alluvial fans, moveable bed streams, channel migration, and other floodplains where the channel shifts during a flood are classified as uncertain flow paths. This hazards is not an issue in Point Pleasant Beach.
Closed Basin Lakes Lakes that have a small or no outlet that may stay above flood stage for weeks, months, or years are called closed basin lakes. This hazard is not relevant to Point Pleasant Beach.
Ice Jams Ice jams, also known as ice dams, typically occur in late winter or early spring when a frozen river begins to thaw. Blocks of ice break free and can accumulate at bends in the river, mouths of tributaries, or near structures such as bridge piers. The ice can restrict the flow of a river and cause flooding upstream. A flash flood type event can also occur
28 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
downstream if the ice jam suddenly breaks free. Although the Manasquan River has been known to freeze in winter months, this has occurred further upstream and the threat of flooding from ice jams in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is low due to the width, depth and tidal nature of the river. However, there is a high likelihood of damage to structures such as bulkheads, docks and piles from floating ice. Land Subsidence
Land Subsidence, as defined by the United States Geological Survey, is the process by which land sinks or lowers; this, combined with rising water levels can cause a relative sea-level rise (Eggleston, Pope). Roughly 80% of land subsidence in the United States is caused by groundwater withdrawals (Eggleston, Pope). Evidence suggests that the global sea-level rise rate during the last century is on average 1.0 to 2.0 mm/year (Cooper, et al., 4). During this time, the sea level rose by 3 to 5 millimeters per year in the region between North Carolina and New Jersey (Morton). On the coast of New Jersey, tidal gauges predicted that the relative sea-level rise was about 3.53 mm/year during the last century, but only 2mm/year can be particularly attributed to land subsidence and sediment compaction (Cooper, et al.,). Land subsidence is an aggravating factor in relative sea level rise.
Mudflow hazards Mudflow hazards are identified as a river, flow, or inundation of liquid mud down a hillside, usually as a result of a dual condition of loss of brush over and the subsequent accumulation of water on the ground, preceded by a period of unusually heavy or sustained rain. This is not considered to be a threat in Point Pleasant Beach.
Coastal Erosion This hazard was discussed in the previous section. It has a large impact on Point Pleasant Beach.
Tsunamis Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by an earthquake, landslide, or underwater volcano. Although Tsunamis are far more likely on the west coast, there are three DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) monitoring stations off the coast of New Jersey, near the Hudson Canyon.

V. PROBLEM ASSESSMENT FEMA is currently in the process of updating the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach. The updated Preliminary FIRM indicates that the much of the eastern portion of the Borough is located within the 100-year floodplain, also known as the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), with the exception of a small area along the dune line, which is located in the 500- year floodplain. A total of 2,262 residential properties and 206 commercial properties are located within the SFHA. Table 1 below indicates the total structures, properties and land area located within both the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. The table also shows the percentage of each category that is located within the 100-year floodplain to get a better understanding of how much of the Borough is vulnerable to flooding.
Table 1. Floodplain Property Data Percent Located Borough 100-Year 500-Year1 100-Year + 500-Year within the 100- Item Total Floodplain Floodplain Floodplain Year Floodplain Properties 3626 2798 184 2982 77.16% Land Area (acres)2 848.77 617.29 46.09 663.38 72.73% 1. This does not include the area within the 100-year floodplain. 2. Land area only includes land parcel areas. Waterways and roads are not included in this area.
Numerous critical facilities are also located within either the 100-year or 500-year floodplain. There is a United States Coast Guard Station located along the Manasquan Inlet in the 100-year floodplain. Additionally, the Municipal Building and Police Department as well as one firehouse are located within the 100-year floodplain. The Borough maintains flood insurance on the police substation and the comfort station located on the Boardwalk. The bathhouse building at the south end of the boardwalk does not currently have flood insurance. The Borough also maintains property insurance on the Municipal Building, Police Department and both firehouses. It is critical that these facilities be protected from flooding so valuable equipment is not destroyed and emergency services can be provided during and after storm events. FEMA recommends that any critical facility be properly flood proofed or elevated to withstand the 500-year storm event. A map showing the Borough’s critical facilities and the Special Flood Hazard Areas can be found in Appendix K. The map also indicates which roads have the potential for flooding during the 100-year flood.
30 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
HAZARD IMPACT Borough residents and first responders are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of flooding in Point Pleasant Beach. Residents who live within the SFHA should be encouraged to take all necessary precautions to ensure their homes are safe from flood hazards. Additionally, those residents who do not live within the SFHA, but live in areas which are known to flood should take similar precautions as their neighbors living within the SFHA. In addition to the possible damage to buildings and other infrastructure, there is the possibility of injury or even death to residents or responders who could get trapped in a flooded building or swept away in fast moving floodwaters. The Borough and its residents must also be aware of the potential impacts to public health from flooding. Mold will quickly develop in many structures and cause respiratory issues for those attempting to rebuild. Debris from damaged and demolished structures could also contain hazardous materials such as mold, lead or asbestos. Early warning and evacuation, as well as making the necessary preparations to protect facilities from flooding, can protect the health and safety of residents and emergency workers and facilitate a rapid response and recovery from future flood events. Additionally, it will be importation to ensure that damaged areas can be secured after flooding recedes to prevent scavengers and gawkers. In 2013, Point Pleasant Beach updated its Emergency Operations Plan; and a Debris Management Plan is currently being finalized. These documents address hazard preparedness issues and minimize their impacts to the maximum extent practical. Many of the hazards to which Point Pleasant Beach is vulnerable generally occur concurrently with flooding. Areas that are susceptible to flooding will only increase in their vulnerability as impacts due to sea level rise become greater in the future. Homes which are not raised above the base flood elevation are particularly vulnerable to flood related hazards, as are areas prone to flooding but not located within the SFHA. Local observations indicated that after Sandy, older homes and newer homes built to the BFE fared well, while those built 20- 30 years ago fared the worst. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach should work with FEMA to ensure that all flood maps illustrate an accurate portrayal of flood risk within the community. Currently, Point Pleasant Beach has adopted both the Advisory Base Flood Elevations and the Preliminary FIRMs and requires that new or substantially damaged homes be elevated to the more restrictive of the two in order to minimize the vulnerability of homes within Point Pleasant Beach to flood events. Repetitive loss areas indicate portions of the Borough where the risk of flooding may be higher as indicated by multiple flood insurance claims filed on a single property. The
31 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
average number of losses per repetitive loss property within Point Pleasant Beach is two (2), and the highest concentration of these properties are located in the eastern portion of the Borough, generally in the low-lying areas around the coastal lakes. The Repetitive Loss Areas can be found mapped in Appendix J. Category 1, 2, & 3 SLOSH models for the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach were run by the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JCNERR) to estimate storm surge heights and wind resulting from historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes. SLOSH is a computer model developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and stands for Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes. It is important to note that the SLOSH model does not include rainfall amounts, river flow, or wind-driven waves and accuracy is generally within 20% (NOAA).
Figure 7. Category 3 SLOSH Model As depicted in the maps found in Appendix L., during a Category 1 storm event storm surge would be above ground level along the oceanfront, the Manasquan River and throughout the Borough from the western boundary of the boardwalk to extending to
32 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast train line. During a Category 2 storm event, storm surge would further inundate the Borough. More of the beach area would be underwater, with full inundation across the entire beach just south of Arnold Avenue. Additionally, storm surge would extend further inland along the banks of the Manasquan River. Much of the Borough from the western edge of the boardwalk past the south-bound lanes of Route 35 would be underwater. As shown above in Figure 6, the entire Borough would be inundated by storm surge during a Category 3 storm event, with depths reaching above 9 feet throughout most of the Borough. Category 4 SLOSH models were also run and indicate that if a Category 4 storm were to strike Point Pleasant Beach, storm surge would exceed 9 feet in the majority of the Borough and 6 feet in the higher land areas. The impacts of Sea Level Rise and marsh retreat on the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach were also analyzed by JCNERR. With a one foot increase in sea level rise, there would be some encroachment along the shoreline in the northern portion of the Borough, as well as along the banks of the Manasquan River along the western shore of Lake Louise and throughout much of Gull Island. Tidal marshes would remain mostly unchanged throughout the Borough, with a small area of conversion to open water at the north tip of Gull Island. With two feet of sea level rise, water will encroach slightly more in the same areas as discussed with a one foot increase in sea level rise. On Gull Island there will be slightly more marsh retreat and conversion to open water. Three feet of sea level rise will encroach further on all shorelines within the Borough. Additionally, many of the areas between the Borough’s three lakes will have some impacts from sea level rise. With three feet of sea level rise, there will also be small area of salt marsh conversion to open water, an area of conversion to unconsolidated shore, and a small area of marsh retreat all on Gull Island. Sea level rise maps and marsh retreat maps can be found in Appendices M and N, respectively. Point Pleasant Beach is a predominately residential community, with commercial areas for tourism and marine industries along the ocean and river. Much of the areas that will be affected by storm surge and/or sea level rise are residential or commercial in nature. The eastern portion of the Borough has very high density of summer vacation homes as well as the Boardwalk, Jenkinson’s Aquarium and amusements. The northeastern portion of the Borough along the Manasquan River supports a large number of commercial fishing vessels and acts as an important port for the region. These are also the areas that are and will continue to be most impacted by storm and flooding events.
33 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Point Pleasant Beach has an established land use pattern and is essentially a fully developed community. As such, there are not many viable options for major changes to zoning and development regulations. However, the Borough should consider adopting stricter regulations to limit the impacts of flooding and protect those residents building in flood zones.
HISTORICAL DAMAGE All NFIP claims from 1978 to the present in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach were mapped with a 200 foot buffer to protect the privacy of the property owners. Almost all properties in the Borough east of Route 35 North fall within this claim area, as well as south of Route 35 along the Manasquan River, as illustrated in Appendix O. A total of 1,912 flood insurance claims have been filed in the Borough since 1978. Hurricane Sandy caused the most damage of any storm in recent history. During the storm, Point Pleasant Beach experienced major impacts from wind, storm surge, and flooding of up to seven feet resulting in significant damage to structures and buildings, the disruption of electrical service, downed trees, and damage to roadways. The storm also deposited sand and debris onto roads, right-of-ways, and caused it to enter the sewer system. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development considers a residential unit to have sustained “major” damage when there is between $8,000 and $28,799 of physical damage or more than one foot of flooding on the first floor and “severe” damage when there is more than $28,800 of physical damage or more than four feet of flooding on the first floor. During Hurricane Sandy, approximately 45% of homes within Point Pleasant Beach were affected with major or severe damage. The entire Borough was without electrical service for approximately four days. However, service was restored on an area-by- area basis, with many areas without service for much longer. A handful of water and sewer lines throughout the Borough were damaged as a result ground saturation, sand infiltration and the dislocation of buildings from their foundations leading to fractured service lines. The Point Pleasant Beach Fire House No. 1 on Arnold Avenue was flooded during Sandy. Additionally, police and emergency vehicles exposed to saltwater during evacuation and response operations are experiencing increased maintenance issues. A downed tree also caused damage to the Borough’s variable message board. Hurricane Sandy also impacted the roads within Point Pleasant Beach, washing out the eastern terminus of Washington Avenue, Delaware Avenue, and New York Avenue; as well as
34 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
depositing extensive amounts of sand on roads throughout the Borough, particularly Ocean Avenue, which became impassable. Hurricane Sandy also impacted the Fisherman Memorial Park & Inlet Parking Lot by washing out section of pavement, sidewalks, guard rails, and concrete parking bumpers; as well as bulkhead and two sets of stairs. The park’s electrical system, trash receptacles, and on-site comfort station were also destroyed. The Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk was destroyed in many areas due to sand and wave action during the storm. Pleasure Park and Green Acres Park both suffered damage due to downed trees.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS The economic impacts of any majoring flooding event in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach will be greatly felt. Due to Hurricane Sandy, the Borough lost $99 million in ratables and incurred $9.5 million in restoration and repair costs. Local businesses were impacted in a variety of ways from temporary business disruption to severe damage from winds, flooding, and storm surge. Within Point Pleasant Beach, the Small Business Administration provided more than $1,700,000 in Business and Economic Injury Disaster loans. Due to the large percentage of residential homes within the eastern portion of the Borough, the majority of flood damage within Point Pleasant Beach has been, and will continue to be, to residential properties, many of which are summer homes, which are not eligible for FEMA funds. The cost of flood damage to residential property is generally covered by insurance pay-outs and owner out of pocket expenses. The average flood insurance pay-out Figure 8. Northern end of the Boardwalk, rebuilt after sustaining damage for a repetitive loss from Hurricane Sandy property within the
35 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is $48,554.31. If property owners can no longer pay their taxes or decide to abandon their property prior to making necessary repairs, there could be a potential impact on the tax base of the Borough due to flooding events.
Additionally, economic impacts of flooding to the Borough are felt in the cost of debris removal, municipal facility repair, and personnel costs during the event. The impact of costs to the community would depend on the severity and longevity of the event as well as reductions in the tax base due to property loss or migration.
NATURAL FEATURES Point Pleasant Beach is a largely built out community, with the entire eastern boundary of the community bordered by beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The wide beachfront acts as a natural buffer and absorbs the impacts of storm surge from smaller scale storms. Throughout the Manasquan River there are a number of small islands in their natural state, including Gull Island, which is maintained by the Ocean County Park System. Additionally, the Ocean County Park System maintains some small park areas along the banks of the Manasquan River. Within the interior of the Borough there are a few areas designated for open space and recreation, consisting mostly of lakes or playing fields. These parks provide passive and Figure 9. Natural Features
36 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
active recreational opportunities and aid in the natural recharge of stormwater. There are a few areas of wetlands within the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, most of which are located on Gull Island in the Manasquan River. Additionally, there is a small area of wetlands on the southeastern shore of Lake of the Lillies and an area of mapped wetlands west of the NJ Transit train tracks and south of Route 35 in the very southern portion of the Borough. This area has been developed and is the location of single family housing. A map of all the natural feature areas in Point Pleasant Beach can be found in Figure 9. and in Appendix P.
FUTURE FLOODING IMPACTS As previously indicated, the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is predominantly built- out. Due to existing development and current regulations, there is little vacant land available for new development. The Borough should continue to enforce the existing development standards and maintain its open spaces and natural features. This is critical to maintaining permeable surfaces and limiting stormwater runoff. However, as sea levels rise and marshes retreat, Point Pleasant Beach could become more vulnerable to impacts from flooding. The overall impacts of flooding on the community will be contingent on how effectively the Borough mitigates current vulnerabilities and plans for future conditions. It is imperative that the Borough utilize this Floodplain Management Plan as a valuable tool to plan for the future.

VI. GOALS Over the course of the various Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee meetings, the Committee reviewed the goals from the 2007 Floodplain Management Plan and discussed potential new goals to determine what goals the Borough would like to achieve with the Floodplain Management Plan to increase resiliency and mitigate damage from future storm events. The following is a list of the goals agreed upon by the Committee:
1. Reduce flooding by preventing tidal backflow. 2. Facilitate and upgrade stormwater facilities for proper drainage. 3. Support natural resource development and protection through government funded programs and local initiatives. 4. Review latest technology for flood reduction. 5. Reduce losses by promoting retrofitting or elevating flood-prone structures. 6. Promote public education on flood hazards, measures for flood safety, and loss reduction. 7. Reduce runoff potential from development. 8. Reduce losses by continuing to develop and improve the existing warning system and maintain it as well as hold drills and tabletop exercises to test the plan. 9. Update Evacuation Plan and other Hazard Plans. 10. Improve critical facility resiliency. 11. Preserve Open Space throughout the Borough.

VII. POSSIBLE FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES As part of the planning process, all existing and potential floodplain management activities and measures to mitigate property damage and impacts to community infrastructure were reviewed. The benefits, costs and general feasibility of each action were considered prior to making a recommendation to proceed with the action. Many of the proposed activities coincide with actions recommended in the 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan. All activities and measures have been grouped into the following six mitigation strategies: Preventative Measures, Property Protection, Natural Resource Protection, Emergency Services, Structural Projects and Public Information. The findings are as follows.
PREVENTIVE Preventive activities keep flood problems from getting worse by limiting the use and development of flood-prone areas through planning, land acquisition, or regulation. These activities are generally administered by the Borough building, zoning, planning, and code enforcement offices.
Floodplain mapping and data The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach has been studied and its’ flood-prone areas mapped by FEMA in entirety. FEMA is currently in the process of updating the flood maps for the Borough. Additionally, the Borough is developing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to increase the community’s resiliency and enable them to better prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. The components of the GIS will support facilities and public works infrastructure, land information, and floodplain management- related data layers and applications. This will be done as part of Round 2 Post-Sandy Planning Assistance Grant program.
Open Space Preservation The opportunity for future open space preservation in Point Pleasant Beach is small, due to the fact that it is largely built-out and the value of land within the community is high. However, there are already parks and areas of preserved open space scattered through-out the community, including the County owned Gull Island located in the Manasquan River. While the opportunity for future open space preservation within the Borough is low, measures should be taken to ensure that existing areas of open space within the Borough remain as such.
39 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Floodplain Regulations Floodplain Regulation are in place throughout the Borough by zoning and development regulations at the local, county, state, and federal levels.
Erosion Setbacks The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach does not allow construction east of the dune line along the Atlantic Ocean. Additionally erosion setbacks throughout the Borough would not be applicable.
Planning and Zoning Point Pleasant Beach is a predominately built out community and as such, zoning ordinances to limit development within the floodplain are not feasible. The Borough can, however, promote resiliency by regulating impervious cover and by allowing for residences to be built above the base flood elevation. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach adopted the Advisory Base Flood Elevations put out by FEMA. The Borough is in the process of updating the zoning ordinance to promote resiliency in the zone districts most impacted by Hurricane Sandy. The 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan recommends that the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach undertake the following actions related to planning and zoning: Maintain dune ordinance including completing dune inspections to protect community from flood related hazards. Continue participation in CRS program and consider upgrading to the next class level to complete pro-active floodplain management and assist residents with flood insurance costs Adopted the FEMA Advisory BFE floodplain ordinance plus 1 foot of freeboard to support pro-active floodplain management that will assist property owners in rebuilding at or above regulatory standards when the new floodplain maps become effective in approximately 2015.
Stormwater Management The Borough has stormwater management regulations in place that any new development is required to follow as well as requiring all lots to manage the runoff from roofs.
40 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Drainage System Maintenance Point Pleasant Beach’s stormwater discharge permit mandates cleaning and maintenance and as such the Borough Department of Public Works has standard operating procedures in place for regular maintenance and monitoring of the stormwater drainage system. Additionally, the 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation plan recommends the pump station at Silver Lake be updated, elevated, and dredged to maintain access to critical community resources during flooding related hazards.
Building Codes The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach has adopted model building codes and requires plot plans to include a recharge component. The Borough’s Master Plan subcommittee recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board resist granting variances for building and impervious coverage, unless these requirements must be exceeded to allow for stairs to provide an entrance to a home. The 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation plan recommends that the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach continue to enforce building codes to require building, renovations, and re-building to meet or exceed the Uniform Construction Code thus protecting homes from risk related to hazards including flooding, fire, wind, earthquake, and winter storm.
PROPERTY PROTECTION Property protection activities are usually undertaken by property owners on a building- by-building or parcel basis.
Acquisition The 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation plan actions for Point Pleasant Beach include the acquisition and permanent removal from the floodplain of one (1) home in the Borough. However, wide-scale acquisition of structures within the floodplain is not feasible within Point Pleasant Beach, as over half of the Borough’s ratables are located within the flood hazard area.
Relocation The wholesale acquisition and relocation of properties located within flood prone areas is not practical in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach. Individual lots within the Borough are relatively small, without room for relocation of a structure on the same lot, and the Borough is fully developed with no potential for relocation elsewhere in the Borough.
41 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Building Elevation Requiring that structure within the flood hazard area be elevated to at least the highest regulatory standard is the best method for reducing flood problems and losses in Point Pleasant Beach Borough. The elevation of 353 homes within the Borough to higher standards and elevations are recommended actions in the 2014 Ocean County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation plan. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach has decided to adopt requirements maintain both the ABFE maps and the new FIRMs, requiring property owners to meet the more restrictive of the requirements. Additionally, the state of New Jersey requires one foot of freeboard above the base flood elevation. Home elevation will mitigate the impact of flood related hazards while maintaining residents in the community.
Figure 10. Newly constructed home to meet BFE standards in Point Pleasant Beach
Retrofitting The Borough provides information to property owners on filling basements and installing flood vents through the construction office. As property owners utilize these techniques, they should be encourage to get new elevation certificates. Commercial
42 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
buildings within Point Pleasant Beach can be encouraged to utilize floodproofing techniques.
Sewer Backup Protection Point Pleasant Beach is equipped with separate storm and sanitary sewers. There are no known sewer overflow points or locations of excessive infiltration. Sewer backup is not considered a problem.
Insurance Point Pleasant Beach participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. Homeowners are encouraged to maintain flood insurance to protect against loss of structure and contents in case of flooding. Homeowners who are not necessary located within a flood zone should also be encouraged to carry flood insurance. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach can reduce the flood insurance rates for property owners by increasing participation in the Community Rating System program. This plan is intended to gain points towards that program.
NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION Natural resource protection activities preserve or restore natural areas or the natural functions of floodplain and watershed areas. They are implemented by a variety of agencies including parks, recreation, or conservation agencies and organizations.
Wetlands Protection Due to the built out nature of Point Pleasant Beach, there are very few areas of wetlands left within the Borough. Gull Island in the Manasquan River consists of wetlands and has been preserved as a County Park for many years. The State regulates wetlands protection through NJDEP freshwater and coastal wetland permit programs.
Erosion and Sediment Control Soil Erosion and sediment control is regulated through New Jersey’s Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act and are administered by the Ocean County Soil Conservation District.
Natural Area Preservation The Borough should work with the Ocean County Park System and other owners of natural areas within Point Pleasant Beach to ensure the natural areas of the Borough are
43 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
preserved as such and to assure that natural areas are not degraded or cleared, which would lead to an increase in runoff.
Natural Area Restoration The Borough should work with the Ocean County Park System and other owners of natural areas within Point Pleasant Beach to restore degraded natural areas and reduce runoff from the sites.
Water Quality Improvement Sewage is treated before entering waterways in Point Pleasant Beach. Stormwater discharge is permitted and regulated within the Borough, as discussed earlier in the preventive measures section. Green infrastructure techniques can be used to promote resiliency in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach and improve the water quality entering the Manasquan River and Atlantic Ocean. Green infrastructure uses permeable surfaces, landscape formations, and plant material to intercept stormwater runoff before it enters storm drains by promoting infiltration. Their use can promote resiliency by mitigating flooding and helping the township to quickly recover from storms. Additionally, green infrastructure captures runoff pollution and prevents it front entering waterways.
Coastal Barrier Protection Point Pleasant Beach should continue its beach and dune maintenance programs and the Borough Floodplain Management Plan Committee supports the construction of dunes along the beachfront within the Borough. The 2014 Ocean County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan calls for the completion of the USACE dune and beach replenishment project to protect the community from flood related hazards and allow for construction of a large dune from Manasquan to Barnegat Light. The Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) regulates coastal development at the State level, including a restriction on building on beaches or dunes. Locally, no construction is permitted east of the Boardwalk.
Environmental Corridors This is not applicable to Point Pleasant Beach.
Natural Functions Protection The 2014 Ocean County Multi-Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan recommends that Point Pleasant Beach maintain their dune ordinance, including completing dune inspections to protect the community from flood related hazards. Additionally, the
44 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Borough Floodplain Management Plan Committee recommends that the Borough protect against alteration and filling.
EMERGENCY SERVICES Emergency services are measures taken during an emergency to minimize its impact. These measures are usually the responsibility of city or county emergency management staff and the owners or operators of major or critical facilities.
Hazard Threat Recognition Prior to storm events, warnings are issued by the National Weather Service.
Hazards Warning The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach already alerts its residents to hazards through a Reverse 911 calling system and it is recommended by the 2014 Ocean County Multi- Jurisdictional All Hazards Mitigation Plan to keep this system in place. Early warnings give residents time to prepare for the hazard and evacuate if necessary, resulting in reductions to the loss of life and property from an event. Point Pleasant Beach also utilizes the Borough website, 1060 am radio, door to door announcements, and dive by loud speakers to alert residents to hazard events. Additionally, Ocean County utilizes the Emergency Broadcast System. The Borough has emergency operating procedures to warn residents of hazard events.
Hazards Response Operations The Borough’s fire departments and first aid departments provide evacuation assistance during hazard events.
Critical Facilities Protection Point Pleasant Beach’s Municipal Building, Police Department, and a fire station are located within the 100 year floodplain, as well as the United States Coast Guard Building. Efforts should be taken to ensure these critical facilities are flood-proofed in case of an extreme flooding event. Generators should also be installed at these facilities to ensure they have power during hazard events and power outages. Figure 11. Borough Police Boardwalk Substation
45 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Health and Safety Maintenance The Borough should develop operating procedures to deal within contaminated water, spoiled food, debris, and condemned buildings in the aftermath of a flood event.
Post-disaster Mitigation Actions The Floodplain Management Plan Committee determined that the Borough should focus post-disaster mitigation actions on debris management, utility restoration, limiting access to the Borough and securing the Borough from the train tracks eastward, sewer systems, and a door- to – door check to see what residents need.
STRUCTURAL PROJECTS Structural projects keep flood waters away from an area with a levee, reservoir, or other flood control measure. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by the public works staff.
Reservoirs This is not applicable to Point Pleasant Beach.
Levees/ floodwalls Levees are not possible in Point Pleasant Beach due to the area constraints. Floodwalls would be difficult to implement due to the amount of shoreline. However, there are a number of bulkheads along the river. A minimum bulkhead elevation could be implemented within the Borough, however there would be little to no benefit from this action, as flooding occurs from multiple directions.
Diversions The Borough has requested that the New Jersey DOT reroute stormwater away from the Borough’s lakes and divert it to the Manasquan River.
Channel Modifications This is not applicable to Point Pleasant Beach.
Storm Drain Improvements The Borough should upgrade storm drains where possible, however the capacity of these systems is limited by the water elevation of the Borough’s lakes.
46 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
PUBLIC INFORMATION Public Information activities advise property owners, potential property owners and visitors about the hazards, ways to protect people and property from the hazards, and the natural and beneficial functions of local floodplains. In Point Pleasant Beach, these activities are implemented largely by the Borough’s construction official and CRS coordinator.
Map Information Copies of the FIRM maps are available for the public to review in the Borough Construction Office. Michael Gardner, the Borough’s construction official, is available to explain the maps as needed. A log should be kept of information provided to residents who come in to view maps or who call with questions to for CRS credit documentation.
Outreach Projects Point Pleasant Beach sends out letters to property owners annually discussing the NFIP program and their flood risk. There is a high cost associated within sending out annual mailings and the Borough plans to move toward more online outreach materials, as that is what gets credit under the new CRS manual. The Floodplain Management Plan Committee suggested that the Borough upgrade the location of flood information on the Borough website, to make it more user friendly. The 2014 Ocean County Hazard Mitigation Plan recommends the following outreach actions for the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach: Continue outreach through local radio station to improve outreach and community member capability for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery Maintain reverse 911 system to assist in communication for all hazards. Continue Police and Fire Department outreach programs in schools to include children in outreach and improve families capability for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery Continue Police outreach programs in schools to include children in outreach and improve families capability for disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery
47 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Real Estate Disclosure Michael Gardner, Borough construction official and CRS coordinator, send a letter out annually to all local lending agencies, real estate companies, and insurance companies, informing them they can get flood information from the building office.
Library Michael Gardner, Borough construction official and CRS coordinator, supplies the Point Pleasant Beach Branch of the Ocean County Library System with 3 copies of FEMA publications related to flooding annually. There are currently 8 different publications supplied to the Library, two of which are intended to be kept in Point Pleasant, while the third is meant to be placed at the Library System’s main branch in Toms River.
Technical Assistance Michael Gardner, Borough construction official and CRS coordinator, provides technical information on a daily basis to anyone who calls or visits his office. Additionally, pamphlets and flood information are provided throughout the Borough.
Environmental Education The Point Pleasant Beach Environmental Commission has organized and sponsored several public presentations on topics such as Dune formation and planting, native plants for landscaping, and Barnegat Bay issues/concerns. In the future, they plan on continuing to organize presentations, including one regarding Climate Change. The Borough should work with Jenkinson’s Aquarium to provide additional information on natural resource protection to visitors. The Point Pleasant Beach website should be updated to include an area to ask questions on flood related issues.

VIII. ACTION PLAN The previous chapter presented a wide range of possible floodplain management activities to address the goals established by the Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee. This chapter presents an Action Plan that describes which activities should be implemented, who is responsible for implementing the activity, the deadline for completing the activity, the proposed budget and the funding source. The Committee realizes that there are many proposed activities, and that not all activities can be completed immediately based on available funds. The Borough should initially focus on those projects that are economically feasible and will aid in the recovery and resiliency of the Borough. The following priority levels were therefore established: High Priority – Activities in this category are critical to protecting the Borough’s critical facilities and creating a more resilient community. The benefits of these activities far outweigh the costs. Funding for these projects is currently in place or there is the high likelihood for grant funds to be secured in the near future. It is recommended that the majority of these projects be completed prior to the next hurricane season. Medium Priority – Activities in this category are necessary to increase the Borough’s resiliency and provide flood protection. Benefits outweigh the costs; however, funding has not yet been secured for those activities with physical improvements. The Borough should continue to seek grants and other funding sources for these activities. It is recommended that these projects be completed in the next three years as funding becomes available. Low Priority – Activities in this category will mitigate hazard risks for the Borough and are cost-effective. However, it is understood that these projects are not as critical as those identified as high or medium priority and that funding may be difficult to obtain for some of the larger construction projects. Ongoing – Activities in this category are required on a continuous or regular basis to be effective. These activities do not require special funds outside of the Borough’s standard budget. The following is the recommended Action Plan for the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach:

IX. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION & MAINTENANCE It is anticipated that this Plan will be introduced to the Borough Planning Board on XXX and then adopted on XX. The Plan will also be adopted by the Borough Council by a formal Resolution on XXX. This floodplain management plan is intended to be a dynamic document, adapting to changes in flood hazards and the needs of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach. The recommendations and actions identified in this plan should be implemented by the designated lead for each action item as funding and resources become available. Changes in future conditions and funding availability may determine the timeline for when some actions get implemented. As the plan is evaluated each year and updated every five years, the goals and objectives of this plan should also be evaluated and revised as necessary. The Borough’s CRS Coordinator will be responsible for monitoring the plan and ensuring that the Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee will meet at least once per year to aid with the yearly plan evaluation. The original members of the committee will remain, unless they wish to be replaced. Then a like representative will replace them. The committee will review the plan on an annual basis to evaluate changes to hazard conditions, goals and objectives, and progress made towards objectives. The committee will identify any necessary changes or revision to the plan. The annual review will include: A review of the original plan; Identification of any flood, hurricane, or other disaster that has impacted Rumson since the last review; Review of action items from the original plan, including what has been accomplished; Discussion on why actions have not been completed; Where vulnerabilities have increased, identify why and what additional measures can be taken to decrease the vulnerability of that area to flood hazards; Recommendations for new projects or revised action items; and Survey of available resources to address action items. This Floodplain Management Plan will be updated every five years and reviewed for CRS credit according to the CRS Coordinator’s Manual in effect at the time. The 5-year update must include the following steps to retain CRS credit: The update must be conducted by a committee;
54 Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
A public meeting must be conducted to review and receive comments on the draft update; Review of new studies, reports, and technical information of the community’s needs, goals, and plans for the area; New floodplain or hazard mapping; Identification of additional repetitive loss properties or completed mitigation projects; Discussion of any major flood or other disasters that have occurred since the plan was adopted; Review of any other changes in flooding conditions or development exposed to flooding or other hazards; Goals must be evaluated to determine if they are still appropriate; The action plan will be revised to account for projects that have been completed, dropped, or changed, and for changes in the hazard and problem assessments; and The update shall be adopted by the community’s governing body.

Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Plan Public Hearing Monday, March 9, 2015
The Point Pleasant Beach Committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2015 at 7:00 pm. An ad notifying of same was published in the local official newspaper and the meeting was posted on the
Borough web site. In attendance were the following:
1. Ray Savacool, Borough Engineer
2. Tom Migut, Council
3. Guy Dempsey, OEM
4. Seth Sloan, Citizen
5. Karen Mills, Citizen
6. Michael Gardner, Construction Code Official
7. Carolyn Slachetka, Citizen
8. Bruce Fioretti, Citizen
9. Maryann Ellsworth, Citizen
10. Christine Bell, T&M Associates
Ray Savacool led the meeting and discussed the following:
Point Pleasant Beach is preparing a Floodplain Management Plan.
The objective is to produce a program of activities that will tackle a community’s vulnerability to the hazard and meet other needs by involving the public and various stake holders.
The plan will be following the process outlined by the Community Rating System (CRS) in order to maximize the number of point achievable under this activity and to reduce flood insurance premiums throughout Point Pleasant Beach. The process involves a step by step process that involves:
Seeking input
Coordinating with other agencies
Assessing the hazard
Assessing the problem
Setting goals
Reviewing possible activities
Drafting an action plan
There is a committee made up of both public officials and Borough residents to formulate the plan.
The committee was established by Borough ordinance. The committee will meet bi-weekly throughout the planning process to guide the formation of the plan, with each meeting addressing a specific step in the planning process.
Additionally, letters were sent to various stakeholders from the local to state level, including surrounding municipalities, asking for any input.
The purpose of this open forum is to obtain public input on the natural hazards, problems and possible solutions.
The plan will discuss the following:
Natural Hazards Flooding o Coastal flooding o Rainfall/runoff flooding/localized coastal erosion Others o Wild fires, mudslides, earthquakes and droughts Ocean CO HMP o Updated in 2014 o Covers all hazards o Point Pleasant Beach is a participating municipality Problem When human development gets in the way of exacerbates natural flooding processes. No streams (in PPB) but impervious surfaces can aggravate local flooding.
100 year flood elevations / V Zones (higher hazard). Nuisance flooding areas within Borough o Low-lying areas around lakes There are currently 98 repetitive loss properties in Point Pleasant Beach ≥ $1,000 2x in ten years. There are 2 severe RL properties ≥ $5,000 4x in ten years. At the time of the 2007 plan there were only 20 RL properties.
Goals from 2007 Plan The following are the Goal Statement for Point Pleasant Beach Borough: Reduce Flooding by Preventing Tidal Backflow. Facilitate and upgrade stormwater facilities for proper drainage. Decrease wave wash over by maintaining beach and dune program. Review latest technology for flood reduction. Reduce losses by promoting retrofitting or elevating flood prone structures. Promote public education on all measures for flood safety and loss reduction. Reduce impermeable surface area to facilitate drainage. Reduce losses by continuing to develop and improve the existing warning system and maintain it as well as hold drills and table top exercises to test the plan. Update Evacuation Plan and other Hazard Plans. Acquire open space property located in the Floodplain to prevent development.
Potential Activities There are 6 categoires of potential activities to be included in the Floodplain Management Plan Preventive activities keep flood problems from getting worse. The use and development of flood prone areas is limited through planning, land acquisition, or regulation. They are usually administered by building, zoning, planning, and/or code enforcement offices. ● Floodplain mapping and date ● Planning and Zoning ● Open space preservation ● Stormwater management ● Floodplain regulations ● Drainage system maintenance ● Erosion setbacks ● Building codes Property protection activities are usually undertaken by property owners on a building-by- building or parcel basis. ● Relocation ● Retrofitting ● Acquisition ● Sewer backup protection ● Building elevation ● Insurance Natural resource protection activities preserve or restore natural areas or the natural functions of floodplain and watershed areas. They are implemented by a variety of agencies, primarily parks, recreation, or conservation agencies or organizations. ● Wetlands protection ● Water quality improvement ● Erosion and sediment control ● Coastal barrier project ● Natural area preservation ● Beach and dune protection ● Natural area restoration ● Environmental corridors ● Natural functions protection Emergency Services measures are taken during an emergency to minimize its impact. These measures are usually the responsibility of city or county emergency management staff and the owners or operators of major city or critical facilities. ● Hazard threat recognition ● Critical facilities protection ● Hazard warning ● Health and safety maintenance ● Hazard response operations ● Post-disaster mitigation actions Structural projects keep flood waters away from an area with a levee, reservoir, or other flood control measure. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. ● Reservoirs ● Channel modifications ● Levees/floodwalls ● Storm drain improvements ● Diversions Public Information activities advise property owners, potential property owners, and visitors about the hazards, ways to protect people and property from the hazards, and the natural and beneficial functions of local floodplains. They are usually implemented by a public information office. ● Map information ● Library ● Outreach projects ● Technical assistance ● Real estate disclosure ● Environmental education
Following the review of all possible activities, an action plan will be drafted at the following committee meeting.
A second public meeting will follow, for input on floodplain management plan and identified action items.
The plan will then be sent to the Point Pleasant Beach governing body for adoption.
There were no members of the public wishing to be heard.
After a review of the Preliminary FIRM map and an elevation map of Point Pleasant Beach, the public meeting closed at 7:45 pm.
H:\PPBB\00484\Correspondence\Initial Public Hearing.docx Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Plan Committee Meeting Wednesday, March 25, 2015
The Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Committee held a committee meeting on March
25, 2015 at 6:00 pm. An ad notifying of same was published in the local official newspaper and the meeting was posted on the Borough web site. In attendance were the following:
1. Ray Savacool, Borough Engineer
2. Tom Migut, Council
3. Bob Santanello, Citizen
4. Seth Sloan, Citizen

10. Christine Bell, T&M Associates
Ray Savacool led the meeting and discussed the following:
The Floodplain Management Plan process consists of 10 steps. The first few were discussed at the previous meeting. At this meeting the next two steps, assess the hazard and assess the problem will be discussed. The hazard is flooding, and the problem is development in the flood zone.
Assess the Hazard:
Flooding generally occurs east of the railroad tracks, in the coastal flood hazard area, with some nuisance flooding in other areas, generally the low parts of Point Pleasant Beach. The lowest part of the Borough are the areas connecting the three lakes. Bob Santanello said that Central Ave floods every couple of month- the frequency of flooding
has increased since Sandy, the 100 block of Central Ave and Arnold Aves are the worst
Baltimore and New York Avenue are guaranteed to flood whenever it rains since Sandy
The question was raised as to what constituted a flood and discussion followed.
The Coastal Flood Hazard Zone consists of:
V (velocity) zone: waves greater than 3 feet are likely during 100 year storm event A zone: will flood during 100 year storm event Coastal A zone: area between A & V zone, waves less than 3 feet are possible
The new NJ Building Code will make it mandatory that homes within the coastal A zone are built to V zone standards
In Point Pleasant Beach, the flood hazards are coastally based, sometimes caused by heavy rainfall.
Less Frequent Flood Hazards include coastal erosion and tsunamis.
Assess the Problem:
The committee identified the following problems as a result of flood hazards:
The elevation of houses in relation to the flood hazard. New and old houses faired okay, those
in the middle did not.
Life and safety issues.
It was noted that you are not allowed to build east of the dune line.
Securing the area after the flood recedes
o Security against gawkers and scavengers
. Made sure everyone was out, but did not check to see what people needed
post- storm
. Volunteers were an important component for clean-up . The mason’s lodge volunteer scanned drivers licenses to know who was going
in and out
o Public utilities
The Borough has flood insurance on the police substation and comfort station. And property insurance on the Municipal building and both fire houses. No one ever thought to get flood insurance on the
Surf Taco building.
The committee raised the question if abandonment could go up due to foreclosures if insurances rates change. New Orleans was raised as a case study. While some areas have recovered from Katrina, others have not.

The Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Committee held a committee meeting on April 14,
2015 at 6:00 pm. An ad notifying of same was published in the local official newspaper and the meeting was posted on the Borough web site. In attendance were the following:
1. Ray Savacool, Borough Engineer
2. Tom Migut, Council
3. Bob Santanello, Citizen
4. Seth Sloan, Citizen
5. Karen Mills, Citizen
6. Michael Gardner, Construction Code Official
7. Christine Bell, T&M Associates
8. Dave Cavagnaro, Citizen
Ray Savacool led the meeting and discussed the following:
Setting Goals:
The goals should set the context for the subsequent review of floodplain management activities and drafting of the action plan. They should incorporate or be consistent with other community goals for the affected areas. The goals must address all flood-related problems identified in the “Assess the Problem” step. Activities must fall under the following categories:
1. Preventive 2. Property Protection 3. Natural Resource Protection 4. Emergency Services 5. Structural Projects 6. Public Information
The goals from 2007 Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Plan were discussed for their relevancy and whether they should be included as goals in the new plan. The 2007 goals are as follows:
1. Reduce Flooding by Preventing Tidal Backflow. This goal is in progress. A number of projects are underway including projects at Baltimore & Yale, Randall Ave, and Little Silver Lake & Lake Louise. 2. Facilitate and upgrade stormwater facilities for proper drainage. Ongoing. 3. Decrease wave wash over by maintaining beach and dune program. Ongoing. The committee is in favor of the creation of dunes and if Army Corp funding is not available, the cooperation between the Borough and adjacent property owners to create dunes. 4. Review latest technology for flood reduction. The Borough is in the process of automating and updating its system for processing zoning and construction permits. Ongoing. 5. Reduce losses by promoting retrofitting or elevating flood prone structures. Ongoing. 6. Promote public education on all measures for flood safety and loss reduction. Ongoing. Include flood hazards. The internet is the preferred method of disseminating information. 7. Reduce impermeable surface area to facilitate drainage. Maintain. It was suggested to make a recommendation to the zoning board to not grant variances for impervious cover. 8. Reduce losses by continuing to develop and improve the existing warning system and maintain it as well as hold drills and table top exercises to test the plan. Maintain. Discuss plans with OEM. 9. Update Evacuation Plan and other Hazard Plans. Maintain current status and other Hazard Plans. 10. Acquire open space property located in the Floodplain to prevent development. Delete this goal, as due to the highly developed nature of the Borough this is not reasonable.
Possible new goals to add to the Floodplain Management Plan were also discussed. They are as follows:
Review zoning ordinances to encourage resiliency while limiting the need for variances and regulatory review. This may be better classified as an activity under the plan. Improve critical facility resiliency. This will be added as a goal of the Floodplain Management Plan.
The next meeting will take place on April 22nd at 6pm. The committee meeting closed at 7 pm.

The Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Committee held a committee meeting on April 22,
2015 at 6:00 pm. An ad notifying of same was published in the local official newspaper and the meeting was posted on the Borough web site. In attendance were the following:

Ray Savacool led the meeting and discussed the following:
Review Possible Activities: The plan reviews different activities that could prevent or reduce the severity of the problems described in the Assess the Problem section. This is a systematic review of a wide range of activities to ensure that all possible measures are explored, not just the traditional approaches of flood control, acquisition, and regulation of land use. The review, including the pros and cons of each activity, must be included in the plan document. Figure 510-4 was distributed and lists some of the types of activities that could be reviewed under each of the six credited categories.
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is a zoned community with a Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Building construction is regulated through the adoption of model codes including the International Residential Code. The community is well established and for all intent built out, with construction occurring as redevelopment. Land use patterns within the Borough are well established. As the Borough’s guiding documents relate to Floodplain Management, it would not be appropriate for the land use plan or zoning ordinance deter or prohibit development in the flood zone since a majority of the housing stock is within the flood zone and these areas are already fully developed. The chief flooding problem in Point Pleasant Beach is Pre-FIRM housing that was constructed without consideration for flood risk. Therefore, the focus should be on promoting resiliency and flood compliance. The zoning code has been amended to reduce height limitations in order to promote home elevation in compliance with FEMA standards. The Borough continues to enforce the elevations on the ABFE map in order to be conservative and promote a higher level of flood safety. Existing
Borough Planning documents were examined including the Master Plan. The goals and objectives of the 1992 Land Use Plan were discussed as they relate to floodplain management planning. Since the community is fully developed amending the land use plan will do little to alter development in the floodplain. The credited categories and activities were discussed as follows:
1. Preventive- activities which keep flood problems from getting worse. a. Floodplain mapping and data- FEMA has studied the entire town and the entire floodplain is mapped and currently in the process of being updated. b. Open space preservation- Almost all existing open space is held by town as recreation. i. Preservation of Open Space should be kept as a goal in the floodplain management plan. Although there is not much left to preserve, it is important to maintain what is there. ii. What is the mission statement of the Borough open space committee? Perhaps this could be incorporated somehow. c. Floodplain regulations- are in place throughout the Borough by zoning and development regulations at the local, county, state, and federal levels. d. Erosion setbacks- There is no construction permitted east of the dune line. Otherwise, this is not applicable within the Borough. e. Planning and zoning- The community is built out. Zoning ordinances cannot prevent new development in the floodplain. They can however promote resiliency by regulating impervious cover and allowing for residences to be built or reconstructed above base flood elevation. With so little vacant land only minor subdivisions are feasible on oversized lots. All additional development would be infill, and there are no large undeveloped tracts within Point Pleasant Beach. f. Stormwater management: i. Regulations in place that any development has to follow. Major development is defined as any disturbance over an acre. ii. required for lots to manage the runoff from roofs iii. Existing stormwater management rules g. Drainage system maintenance i. The Borough has a stormwater discharge permit that mandates cleaning and maintenance ii. The Department of Public Works has a SOP in place for maintenance and monitoring- Michael Gardner will share the SOP h. Building codes: i. The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach has adopted model codes. ii. Plot plan requirements with a recharge component. iii. Resist variances for building and impervious coverage iv. Allow for some exceedance for necessary stairs. 2. Property Protection- Activities that are usually undertaken by property owners on a building-by- building or parcel basis. a. Relocation- not an option. Lots are small, Borough is fully developed. b. Acquisition- with more than half of the ratables in the same flood zone, this is not a good option. c. Building elevation- this should be encouraged and is the best method for reducing flood problems and losses. i. The Borough has decided to adopt requirements maintaining both the ABFE maps and FIRM, whatever is more restrictive for a property should be used. ii. Additionally, the state requires one foot of freeboard; and as part of its Flood Hazard Regulations the Borough flood code also requires a 1 foot freeboard. d. Retrofitting- Only commercial buildings are able to floodproof their buildings. For residential structures- encourage owners to fill basements to grade, install flood vents, and then get new elevation certificates e. Sewer backup protection- very few basements and properties with old sewers. This is not really applicable in Point Pleasant Beach. f. Insurance- insure against potential flood losses. Do not have to be in the flood zone for flood insurance. i. Increase the Borough’s rating in the CRS program ii. Encourage residents to maintain flood insurance, even if they are not in a flood zone. 3. Natural Resource Protection- activities which preserve or restore natural areas or the natural functions of floodplain and watershed areas. a. Wetlands protection- Due to the built out nature of the Point Pleasant Beach, there are very few areas of wetlands left within the Borough. Gull Island in the Manasquan River consists of wetlands but has been preserved as a County Park for many years. b. Erosion and sediment control- Regulated through the Ocean County Soil Conservation District c. Natural area preservation- assure natural areas are not degraded/ cleared, which would increase runoff. The community is built out. d. Natural area restoration- Improve function of natural areas. e. Water quality improvement- Sewage is already treated. Stormwater discharge is permitted and regulated. f. Coastal barrier protection: i. CAFRA rules statewide cover coastal development. – restriction on building on beaches and dunes ii. Support dune construction in Point Pleasant Beach iii. Locally, no construction is allowed east of the boardwalk in town g. Environmental corridors- This is not applicable to Point Pleasant Beach h. Natural functions protection: i. Dune protection ordinance ii. Protect against alternation and filling 4. Emergency Services- measures that are taken during an emergency to minimize its impact. Usually the responsibility of city or county emergency management staff and the owners or operators of major or critical facilities. a. Hazard threat recognition- warnings issued by the National Weather Service b. Hazard warning- Point Pleasant Beach warns residents through: i. Borough website ii. Reverse 911 iii. Emergency Operating Procedures include: 1. Drive by loud speaker 2. Door to door announcements 3. 1060 am radio c. Hazard response operations i. Evacuation assistance ii. Fire and first aid utilize boats to assist when necessary d. Critical facilities protection i. Elevation and floodproofing of critical facilities ii. Emergency power- The Borough is currently seeking funding to replace the emergency generator that powers the water plant, police department and municipal building. e. Health and safety maintenance- Concern for: i. Contaminated water ii. Spoiled food iii. Debris iv. Condemned buildings f. Post-disaster mitigation actions i. Debris management ii. Utility restoration iii. Access iv. Security from the tracks eastward v. Sewer vi. Check door-to-door to see what residents need 5. Structural Projects- These projects keep flood waters away from an area with a levee, reservoir, or other flood control measures. They are usually designed by engineers and managed or maintained by public works staff. a. Reservoirs- Not applicable b. Levees/floodwalls i. Levees are not possible due to area constraint ii. Floodwalls are difficult due to the amount of shoreline iii. Should there be a minimum bulkhead elevation?- little to no benefit c. Diversions i. Reroute of stormwater ii. The borough has made a request of the NJDOT to reroute stormwater away from the Borough’s lakes and divert it to the Manasquan River d. Channel modifications- Not applicable e. Storm drain improvements- upgrade where possible, capacity limited by water elevation of lakes 6. Public Information- Activities which advise property owners, potential property owners, and visitors about the hazards, ways to protect people and property from the hazards, and the natural and beneficial functions of local floodplains. They are usually implemented by a public information office. Michael Gardner spoke to what the Borough is already doing or plans to do. a. Map information i. There is a copy of maps on display in the building department. Building department explain maps to residents as requested. b. Outreach projects i. Move towards more on internet ii. More prominent location on Borough website iii. Letters are currently sent out once a year- this is done by a service and is expensive. iv. Upgrade the location of flood information on Borough website c. Real estate disclosure- a letter is sent annually to lending agencies, real estate companies, and insurance companies informing them they can get flood info from the building office d. Library- Currently supply technical information to library annually- 8 different publications, 3 copies of each e. Technical Assistance- provided by the building department on a daily basis f. Environmental education- teaching about natural resource protection i. Contact environmental commission on outreach ii. Jenkinson’s aquarium iii. Website- question box- opportunity to ask a question on flooding.

The Point Pleasant Beach Floodplain Management Committee held a committee meeting on May 12th,
2015 at 6:00 pm. An ad notifying of same was published in the local official newspaper and the meeting was posted on the Borough web site. In attendance were the following:
1. Ray Savacool, Borough Engineer
2. Tom Migut, Council
3. Bob Santanello, Citizen
4. Seth Sloan, Citizen
5. Michael Gardner, Construction Code Official
6. Bruce Fioretti, Citizen
7. Christine Bell, T&M Associates
Ray Savacool led the meeting and discussed the following:
Action Plan: A wide range of possible floodplain management activities were discussed at the previous meeting to address the goals established by the Floodplain Management Plan Steering Committee. An Action Plan will be established that describes which activities should be implemented, who is responsible for implementing the activity, the deadline for completing the activity, the proposed budget and the funding source; with the following priority levels:
High Priority – Activities in this category are critical to protecting the Borough’s critical facilities and creating a more resilient community. The benefits of these activities far outweigh the costs. Funding for these projects is currently in place or there is the high likelihood for grant funds to be secured in the near future. It is recommended that the majority of these projects be completed prior to the next hurricane season. Medium Priority – Activities in this category are necessary to increase the Borough’s resiliency and provide flood protection. Benefits outweigh the costs; however, funding has not yet been secured for those activities with physical improvements. The Borough should continue to seek grants and other funding sources for these activities. It is recommended that these projects be completed in the next three years as funding becomes available. Low Priority – Activities in this category will mitigate hazard risks for the Borough and are cost-effective. However, it is understood that these projects are not as critical as those identified as high or medium priority and that funding may be difficult to obtain for some of the larger construction projects. Ongoing – Activities in this category are required on a continuous or regular basis to be effective. These activities do not require special funds outside of the Borough’s standard budget.
The following action plan items were then discussed:

Floodplain Management Plan Borough of Point Pleasant Beach
Appendix D: Sample Letter to Outside Agencies
March 11, 2015
Joseph DeIorio, Municipal Administrator Borough of Manasquan 201 East Main Street Manasquan, NJ 08736 [email protected]
Dear Mr. Delorio;
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is currently in the process of preparing a Floodplain Management Plan to be incorporated as an element of the Borough Master Plan. The Floodplain Management Flan will identify and assess flood hazards within the Borough, establish the goals and objectives for floodplain management in Point Pleasant Beach, and present a series of actions designed to minimize flooding and mitigate the impacts from flooding in the future. The Plan is being funded through a Post- Sandy Planning Assistance Grant issued by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA). As we continue to recover from the effects of Superstorm Sandy, the Borough has prioritized flood prevention and mitigation as key elements of its post- Sandy planning strategy. The project implements recommendations of the Strategic Recovery Planning Report (SRPR) adopted by the Borough Council in May of 2014.
As part of the Floodplain Management planning process, we are seeking the input of valued stakeholders to develop a foundation for assessing known hazards and flood impacts in Point Pleasant Beach. We would appreciate any information from your organization regarding flood hazards in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach and/ or anything your agency or organization is doing that may affect flooding or properties in flood- prone areas. Additionally, we would like to invite you, or another representative of your agency or organization to become more actively involved in our floodplain management planning process. Your input and involvement in this planning process is important to help identify key floodplain management issues affecting the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach and to establish goals and objectives to make Point Pleasant Beach more resilient to flooding events in the future.
Please contact Christine Bell, Staff Planner, T&M Associates at 732-671-6400 or [email protected] on or before March 25, 2015 if you have any comments, suggestions, input, or would like to set up a meeting to discuss the floodplain management plan in greater detail.

To Whom it May Concern;
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is currently in the process of preparing a Floodplain Management Plan to be incorporated as an element of the Borough Master Plan. The Floodplain Management Flan will identify and assess flood hazards within the Borough, establish the goals and objectives for floodplain management in Point Pleasant Beach, and present a series of actions designed to minimize flooding and mitigate the impacts from flooding in the future. The Plan is being funded through a Post- Sandy Planning Assistance Grant issued by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA). As we continue to recover from the effects of Superstorm Sandy, the Borough has prioritized flood prevention and mitigation as key elements of its post- Sandy planning strategy. The project implements recommendations of the Strategic Recovery Planning Report (SRPR) adopted by the Borough Council in May of 2014.
As part of the Floodplain Management planning process, we are seeking the input of valued stakeholders to develop a foundation for assessing known hazards and flood impacts in Point Pleasant Beach. We would appreciate any information from your organization regarding flood hazards in the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach and/ or anything your agency or organization is doing that may affect flooding or properties in flood- prone areas.
