Vulnerability and Assessment

March 2018

Summary of Findings

The City of Olympia (City), Port of Olympia (Port), and LOTT Clean Water Alliance (LOTT), collectively referred to as the Project Team, conducted a sea level rise (SLR) vulnerability and risk assessment to evaluate flooding and SLR impacts to key assets and operations. Developing an asset inventory and conducting a vulnerability and risk assessment are key steps in Olympia’s Sea Level Rise Response Plan, which will detail the Project Team’s planned actions to address SLR impacts to the downtown area and Port and LOTT facilities and operations. This report presents an overview of the adopted climate science and SLR scenarios used in the assessment; summarizes the data collection process and asset categories considered in the assessment; presents the vulnerability and risk assessment and findings; and summarizes next steps in the SLR adaptation planning process.

A vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing (or ranking) the vulnerabilities in a system. A risk assessment is the determination of quantitative or qualitative estimate of risk related to a well-defined situation and a recognized threat. Vulnerability refers to the inability (of a system or a unit) to withstand the effects of a hostile environment. A risk is the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability. Risk is the intersection of assets, threats, and vulnerabilities.

SLR and Water Level Scenarios  The Project Team completed a Climate Science Review in October 2017. The climate science review indicated likely SLR of 7 inches by 2030, 13 inches by 2050, and 36 inches by 2100. High-range (unlikely but possible) SLR scenarios were identified as 13 inches by 2030, 25 inches by 2050, and 68 inches by 2100.  The vulnerability and risk assessment included a detailed evaluation of 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 inches of SLR. It also included a high level evaluation of a high-range end-of-century SLR scenario of 68 inches.  The vulnerability and risk assessment evaluated the exposure of Olympia assets to coastal flooding as a result of king tides and the 100-year storm tide. King tide is a commonly used term to describe the highest astronomical tides that predictably occur a few times each year. For the purposes of this study, 12.5 feet NAVD88 was considered the elevation of a king tide. The 100-year storm tide is a severe, rarely occurring flood event that is a combination of a high astronomical tide and storm surge. The 100-year storm tide has a 1-percent chance of occurring in any given year. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance study for Thurston County identifies the 100-year storm tide elevation to be 14.1 feet NAVD88.

Asset Data Inventory  The Project Team collected information from the City, Port, and LOTT to identify assets for evaluation in the SLR vulnerability and risk assessment. The Project Team compiled asset data and collected qualitative information through questionnaires completed by City, State, Port, and LOTT staff.  The Project Team identified individual assets (such as key buildings and facilities) for a more detailed evaluation and group assets (such as trees, stormwater outfalls, street lights, etc.) that may be vulnerable but are too numerous to evaluate on an individual basis.  The Project Team invited public input on key downtown assets during a community workshop held on January 18, 2018.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 2/46 March 2018 Vulnerability Assessment Approach  The vulnerability assessment evaluated the exposure of the individual and group assets to projected flooding by king tides and the 100-year storm tide at each SLR scenario. This was done by overlaying the SLR inundation areas with each asset location to identify the timing and extent of exposure to flooding. Other aspects of vulnerability, including sensitivity and adaptive capacity, were considered in the assessment and documented by City, Port, and LOTT staff for critical assets in Attachment C to this report (Olympia Vulnerability and Risk Information).  Vulnerability Profiles were developed to summarize the impacts of king tide (12.5 feet NAVD88) and 100-year storm tide (14.1 feet NAVD88) flooding at each SLR scenario (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 68-inch SLR). The profiles catalog the individual assets that are impacted at each SLR scenario under a future where no actions are taken to adapt to SLR.  An inventory of SLR impacts to group assets was also compiled. This includes an inventory of the number of exposed assets within each group for each SLR scenario.  The following potential impacts of flooding and SLR to LOTT’s Budd Inlet Treatment Plant were identified and evaluated at a high level: o High tides and storm surge in Budd Inlet could flood downtown Olympia and increase the volume of water conveyed to the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant by the combined sewer system. Flooding of 26 low-lying catch basins from a 100-year storm tide today could add 1.8 million gallons of stormwater to the combined sewer system during this event. With 6 inches of SLR, a 100-year storm tide could flood 153 catch basins, potentially adding 9.8 million gallons of stormwater to the combined sewer system during this event. o SLR will increase water levels in Budd Inlet and require more frequent pumping against higher water levels to discharge treated wastewater through LOTT’s marine outfalls. The effluent pump station capacity may experience a decrease of 1 million gallon per day (MGD) for each 3 feet of SLR. o Overland flooding of the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant may damage facilities and interrupt operations. Previous studies identified facilities that may be exposed to flooding by mid- century including the main utilidor, maintenance building, solids handling building, digesters, and the PSE Thurston substation.  Low-lying inland areas may be exposed to backflow flooding through the stormwater system as a result of high tides, storm surge, and SLR. Potential areas of backflow flooding include the shoreline along Capitol Lake (between Sylvester and Columbia Streets and 4th and 7th Avenues), the Marine Terminal, and East Bay (vicinity of Adams Street and Thurston Avenue).  Twenty-nine known contaminated sites were identified as vulnerable to flooding by a 100-year storm tide with 68-inches of SLR.  Additional vulnerabilities were identified, but not evaluated in detail, including: o SLR will affect Capitol Lake dam operations and increase flood elevations within Capitol Lake. o SLR will affect the performance of the Indian/Moxlie Creek outfall and stormwater system. o SLR may increase the rate of shoreline erosion in existing hot spots and may expose new areas to erosion. Risk Assessment Approach  For the assets identified as vulnerable to SLR, the Project Team considered the magnitude of the impact of flooding on the assets. This was done by considering the social, environmental and economic consequences of flooding for individual assets on a high level qualitative basis. Limited quantitative consequences were identified by the Project Team.  Following the identification of consequences, a consequence rating of low, medium or high was applied by each agency for its individual assets. Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 3/46 March 2018 Risk Assessment Findings  The following qualitative consequences of flooding were identified on a high level: o Commuter and social service disruptions. o Increased maintenance and repair costs. o Increased frequency of sewer bypass events. o Loss of access to facilities and services. o Increased capital costs. o Disruption of port operations and impacts to cargo. o Disruptions to commerce and employment.  The following quantitative consequences of flooding were identified on a high level: o Flood fighting expenses of approximately $38,000 per event to address 12-inches SLR and a 100-year storm event of 9-hours in duration. o Single occupancy vehicle commuter delay costs of approximately $304,000 during a 24- inches SLR and a 100-year storm event. o Transit commuter delay costs of approximately $47,000 during a 24-inches SLR and a 100- year storm event. o Loss of 655 trees at an appraised value of $1,036,360 (by 36-inches SLR). Next Steps  The findings of the vulnerability and risk assessment will be used to inform the development of potential adaptation strategies and identify priority areas for action.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 4/46 March 2018 1. Introduction The City of Olympia (City), Port of Olympia (Port), and LOTT Clean Water Alliance (LOTT), collectively referred to as the Project Team, are developing a Sea Level Rise (SLR) Response Plan to address the anticipated impacts of SLR to Olympia’s Downtown area. This report presents the approach and results of a SLR vulnerability and risk assessment that was conducted to identify and evaluate Downtown Olympia’s vulnerability to, and resulting from, SLR. The vulnerability and risk assessment represents the second, third and fourth steps in the adaptation planning process for Downtown Olympia and provides the basis for developing adaptation strategies. (Figure 1).

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 5/46 March 2018 2. Climate Science and SLR Scenarios The Project Team completed a climate science review in October 2017 and identified three primary climate that will impact Downtown Olympia in the future: sea level rise (SLR), coastal storms, and precipitation. The science review summarized prior studies and background, estimated daily and extreme tide levels in Budd Inlet, reviewed historical SLR, presented local SLR projections, discussed flooding impacts in Olympia, and presented precipitation projections relevant to Olympia and its surrounding watersheds.

Climate Science Summary Sea levels in Puget Sound have risen approximately nine inches over the past century; however, subsidence in the Olympia region and downtown peninsula have increased local rates of SLR by an additional 1 to 2 mm/year. A 2012 National Research Council (NRC) report provided regional SLR projections for the Seattle region. These regional SLR projections were adjusted by the Project Team to derive locally-specific projections for Olympia and are shown in Figure 2 and Table 1. .

Figure 2. Sea Level Rise Projections for Olympia Relative to Year 2000

A local subsidence adjustment of 3 mm/year was applied to the NRC projections to make local adjustments at Olympia (1 mm/yr to remove the Cascadia uplift component and 2 mm/yr for local subsidence).

The SLR projections at Olympia were adjusted 4-inches by 2030, 6-inches by 2050, and 12-inches by 2100 to account for local subsidence of 2 mm/year. The climate science review developed projections of likely rates of SLR of 7-inches by 2030, 13-inches by 2050, and 36-inches by 2100. Unlikely, but possible, high-range SLR projections of 13-inches by 2030, 25-inches by 2050, and 68-inches by 2100 were also identified. Emerging research on the impacts of climate change on polar ice sheets – such as Greenland and Antarctica – provides insight into the critical role that large reservoirs of land ice play in global and regional SLR. Under a rapid ice sheet loss scenario, global sea levels could increase by 8 to 10 feet by 2100; however, the likelihood of such a scenario occurring is not well understood and an area of active research. Olympia is coordinating with the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group to better understand emerging SLR research.

SLR Scenarios The SLR vulnerability assessment evaluated exposure of Olympia assets to a number of different water level and SLR scenarios. The adopted water levels and SLR scenarios evaluated in the vulnerability assessment are described below. Water Levels

The SLR vulnerability assessment evaluated exposure to coastal flooding as a result of king tides and the 100- year storm tide, as follows:  King Tide (elevation 12.5 feet NAVD88 or 16.5 feet MLLW): a commonly used term to represent the highest astronomical tides that predictably occur a few times each year.  100-Year Storm Tide (elevation 14.1 feet NAVD88 or 18.1 feet MLLW): a temporary increase in coastal water level due to a combination of high astronomical tide and storm surge due to low barometric pressure and local winds (not including wave effects at the shoreline, which may elevate flood levels higher). The 100-year storm tide elevation is based on FEMA’s flood insurance study for Thurston County.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 7/46 March 2018 SLR Scenarios The detailed vulnerability assessment evaluated SLR amounts of 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24-inches, combined with the king tide and storm tide water levels described above. The selected SLR scenarios correspond to the local Olympia SLR projections as follows:  6-Inches SLR: mid-range projection at 2030  12-Inches SLR: mid-range projection at 2050; high-range projection at 2030  18-Inches SLR: mid-range projection at 2060; high-range projection at 2040  24-Inches SLR: mid-range projection at 2080; high-range projection at 2050 The detailed vulnerability assessment did not evaluate SLR projections beyond 24-inches because the primary purpose of the vulnerability assessment is to identify near-term impacts and tipping points to help prioritize the development and phasing of near-term strategies. Beyond 24-inches of SLR, a large portion of Olympia will be exposed to extensive king tide and storm tide flooding. It is assumed that shoreline and stormwater improvements will have already been implemented to such an extent that the SLR inundation layers developed using existing conditions topography will no longer accurately depict flood risk. In other words, substantial modifications to the shoreline and stormwater system will be implemented long before higher amounts of SLR occur. This does not mean that adaptation strategies will not consider SLR amounts beyond 24-inches; however, the vulnerability assessment does not include a detailed analysis of vulnerabilities for higher SLR scenarios. SLR exposure for a high-range, end-of-century scenario of 68-inches of SLR is presented graphically and discussed in the vulnerability assessment; however, this scenario is not evaluated in detail. This high-range scenario was included to better understand the full range of potential impacts through end-of-century and identify key land owners and asset managers that will be involved in the development and funding of adaptation strategies to address future flooding in Olympia as a result of SLR. 3. Asset Data Inventory This section summarizes the asset data collection process and grouping of assets into asset data categories for analysis in the vulnerability assessment.

Data Collection Process The Project Team identified assets in a number of ways. The Project Team compiled GIS-based asset data information provided by the City, LOTT, and Port. The assets were mapped spatially and their locations were compared with a digital elevation model to determine when they became vulnerable to inundation. Information on key assets was provided verbally during an asset data workshop and in written form through a questionnaire completed by department and organization staff. In addition, the community was provided an opportunity to confirm that key downtown assets had been correctly identified during a community workshop held on January 18, 2018. Asset Data Workshop

City, LOTT, and Port staff participated in an asset data workshop in September 2017 with the following meeting objectives:  Introduce staff to the vulnerability and risk assessment approach.  Identify core services and functions of each department and organization.  Identify critical assets and flood vulnerabilities.  Identify planned projects or upgrades.  Discuss historical flooding events and impacts.  Identify any prior studies and available data.  Identify data gaps. Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 8/46 March 2018 Representatives from the following departments and organizations participated in the asset data workshop:  Community Planning & Development  Parks, Arts & Recreation  Fire and Police  Public Works (Water Resources and Transportation)  Thurston County (Intercity Transit)  LOTT Clean Water Alliance  Port of Olympia  Puget Sound Energy  State of Washington (Department of Enterprise Services) Asset Data Questionnaire

Workshop participants also completed a pre-workshop questionnaire to provide additional information related to department or organization assets, dependencies on other infrastructure, past flooding events, and potential consequences of SLR and flooding on asset operations. Respondents to the questionnaire are listed in Table 2. January 18, 2018 Sea Level Rise Open House and Community Workshop During a January 18, 2018 SLR community workshop, attendees reviewed six SLR inundation maps which identified the level of SLR at which downtown assets are first exposed to flooding and were asked to identify any missing valued community assets. Workshop attendees confirmed key downtown assets were correctly identified.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 9/46 March 2018 Asset Data Categories Individual Assets The Project Team compiled all the data and information received through GIS files, the asset data workshop, and questionnaire into an asset database and grouped assets into asset data categories for analysis in the vulnerability assessment, as follows:  City Facilities – buildings and facilities, parks, libraries, and museums  Fire and Police – emergency response equipment, key access routes  Public Works – pump stations, maintenance yards  Transportation and Parking – City parking lots  Historic Structures  LOTT Clean Water Alliance – Budd Inlet Treatment Plant, pump stations, outfalls, force mains and interceptors  Port of Olympia - buildings and facilities, terminals, marinas and boatworks, tenants  State/County/Federal Facilities – buildings and facilities, parks  Private Utilities – substations and gas lines  Social Services – community services  Community Assets – private marinas and theaters  Employment – downtown employment

Group Assets

Some asset categories contained assets that were too numerous to evaluate on an asset-by-asset basis. These asset types were treated as “group” assets and evaluated at a higher level. The following group assets were evaluated:

City Assets Stormwater and Sewer System  Trees  Stormwater outfalls  Public art  Manholes  Traffic signals  Clean outs  Street lights  Sewer manholes  Fire hydrants  Combined sewer catch basins  Contaminated sites  Waste pick-up sites  Parking lots  Downtown employment

LOTT Sewer System LOTT Reclaimed Water System  Sewer manholes  Air vac  Air releases  Gate valves  Gate valves  Irrigation system components  Drains  Air releases

The asset inventory is included as Attachment A.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 10/46 March 2018 4. Vulnerability Assessment Approach Overview A vulnerability assessment follows a standardized step-by-step process that evaluates exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity:  Exposure – the nature and degree to which an asset, population, or system is exposed to a climate  Sensitivity – the degree to which the physical condition and functionality of an asset, population, or system is affected by a climate hazard  Adaptive Capacity – the degree to which an asset, population, or system is susceptible to and able (or unable) to cope with adverse impacts of a climate hazard

Results of the analysis have been summarized in vulnerability profiles created for each SLR scenario (see section “SLR Vulnerability Profiles”). The flow diagram below illustrates the vulnerability assessment process adopted for the Olympia SLR planning process. Assets are considered most vulnerable to SLR if they are exposed to flooding, have high sensitivity, and low adaptive capacity.

A. Exposure The exposure analysis evaluated each asset’s susceptibility to projected future water levels, including flooding by king tides (elevation 12.5 feet NAVD88 or 16.5 feet MLLW) and the 100-year storm tide (elevation 14.1 feet NAVD88 or 18.1 feet MLLW), for the scenarios shown in Table 3. Scenarios 3, 4, and 5 can also be used to evaluate 100-year flooding from the Deschutes River along the Capitol Lake shoreline because the water surface elevations are comparable to the SLR scenarios evaluated.

3 12-inches SLR + Storm Tide 15.0 19.0 (also 0-inch SLR + Capitol Lake 100-year Flood) 18-inches SLR + King Tide 14.0 18.0

4 18-inches SLR + Storm Tide 15.5 19.5 (also 6-inches SLR + Capitol Lake Flood) 24-inches SLR + King Tide 14.5 18.5

5 24-inches SLR + Storm Tide 16.0 20.0 (also 12-inches + Capitol Lake Flood) 6* 68-inches SLR + Storm Tide 19.5 23.5

*Note: This scenario was evaluated at a lesser level of detail than the other scenarios.

The Project Team created SLR inundation maps for each of the scenarios listed above (Attachment B). The inundation maps were created by projecting each water level scenario (king tide or 100-year storm tide + SLR) overland and calculating the extent of depth of flooding. In addition to depth and extent of flooding, the Project Team also delineated the shoreline and mapped locations of shoreline overtopping for each scenario. The exposure analysis was conducted by comparing the location of each individual or group asset to each of the inundation map scenarios to identified assets exposed to flooding. The exposure analysis is summarized in the vulnerability profiles (both in list and visual format) and highlights when each asset is first exposed to either king tide or storm tide flooding. B. Sensitivity Assets that are exposed to flooding have also been analyzed for sensitivity, which is the degree to which an asset would be affected by its exposure to inundation or flooding. For example, an asset is considered sensitive to flood waters if its function, components, or construction materials can be impaired or damaged from being wet. Sensitivity has been assessed qualitatively based on a set of considerations unique to different asset types. Asset owners and managers have also provided more specific information (pending available information) on assets in order to further assess sensitivity based on asset condition, age, past flooding, and susceptibility to damage by floodwaters.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 12/46 March 2018 The following characteristics would make an asset sensitive to SLR:  Buildings and structures (critical facilities, community, historic, transit center, offices, theaters, library, justice center, etc.) o Age and condition (Older construction structures are more likely to be damaged by floodwaters). o Presence of electrical equipment (Flooding of critical electrical equipment may lead to operation malfunction or failure of asset). o Life safety assets (Certain facilities, such as fire/police stations, emergency response centers, are more likely to have an impact on the community if damaged by floodwaters). o Elevation (some facilities are elevated above the adjacent ground elevation, making them less sensitive to damage by floodwaters, but potentially access limited) o Building Materials (When known. For instance, masonry structures may be less vulnerable than wood frame structures)  Transportation network (roadway, rail, parking lots, street lights, parking meters, etc.) o Age and condition (Older roadbed, rail, and parking lot substructures are more likely to be damaged or subside if exposed to frequent flooding). o Presence of electrical equipment (Inundation of electrical equipment such street lighting, traffic signals, signage and train signal systems may lead to operation malfunction or require replacement). o Primary Route / Life safety access (Primary roadways are more sensitive because they connect critical nodes and life safety structures that need to function 24/7).  Recreation (plazas, parks, marina, etc.) o Salt intolerant (Many tree and animal species have a narrow tolerance for salinity and water depth changes and, if exposed, may experience degradation or complete loss) o Age and condition (Older plazas, hardscapes, and park facilities are more likely to be damaged or subside if exposed to flooding). o Presence of electrical equipment (Inundation of electrical equipment may lead to operation malfunction or failure of asset). o Presence of buildings and structures (Buildings are likely to house mechanical/electrical equipment on lower floors that could be damaged if exposed to flooding).  Utilities (electricity, pump stations, substations, etc.) o Age and condition (Older structures are more likely to be damaged by floodwaters). o Presence of electrical equipment (Inundation of electrical equipment may lead to operation malfunction or failure of asset). o Presence of buildings and structures (Buildings are likely to house mechanical/electrical equipment on lower floors that could be damaged if exposed to flooding). o Stormwater mains (High tides and storm surge may reduce the capacity of the stormwater system to collect and convey runoff). o Sanitary sewer mains (Flooding may increase rates of infiltration into sanitary sewer lines and reduce capacity to collect and convey wastewater).  Other o Development Sites (Development opportunities are limited if site is exposed to inundation and may need to be raised). o Contaminated sites (assumes that contaminated sites may have environmental impacts if flooded by overland flooding or raised groundwater levels). o Public Art (assumes cultural resources may be compromised if exposed to inundation).

The sensitivity analysis for each asset, if relevant, is summarized in Attachment C. Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 13/46 March 2018 C. Adaptive Capacity Adaptive capacity evaluates the asset’s inherent ability to adjust to inundation or flooding in order to maintain its primary function. Some examples include: City fleet vehicles are parked on a lot exposed to flooding, but could be moved to another location during temporary flooding events. Electrical panels may be exposed to floodwaters, but could be elevated without much effort or cost. A roadway may be flooded, but there is an alternative route. A key social service that is inaccessible during a flood event could be relocated to another building. Adaptive capacity has been assessed qualitatively based on a set of considerations that are applicable to each asset type. Asset owners and managers have also provided more specific information on assets in order to further assess adaptive capacity based on redundancy and ability to adapt. The following characteristics would contribute to greater adaptive capacity of an asset:  Ability to elevate (Existing asset can easily be raised to reduce vulnerability to flooding).  Ability to relocate (Asset can easily be moved to higher elevation or outside of floodplain to protect from flood damage).  Redundancy (Presence of back-up generator, or an alternative building, or multiple access paths (alternative roadways and bus routes), or other means to provide asset substitution).  Ability to adapt (Assumes asset can adapt and be resilient to changes and recover from individual extreme events). The adaptive capacity analysis for each asset, if relevant, is summarized in Attachment C. 5. Vulnerability Assessment Findings The vulnerability assessment findings are organized into three sub-sections:  SLR Vulnerability Profiles – Vulnerability profiles present an inventory of all individual assets that are exposed to king tide and 100-year storm tide flooding at each SLR scenario (0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 68- inches of SLR). The exposure inventory is paired with an exposure map that indicates the location of each exposed asset.  Group Asset Exposure – Exposure of group assets to each SLR scenario was evaluated.  LOTT Vulnerability Analysis – The LOTT vulnerability analysis evaluated the following potential SLR impacts to LOTT assets and operations: o The potential volume of water that could be conveyed to Budd Inlet Treatment Plant during an overland flooding event due to high tides and storm surge in Budd Inlet. o The impact of SLR on effluent pump capacity. o The timing of direct flooding of Budd Inlet Treatment Plant facilities and treatment components.  Stormwater Backflow Analysis – Low-lying areas that may experience backflow flooding as a result of high tides, storm surge, and SLR are identified and discussed.

SLR Vulnerability Profiles This section presents the SLR exposure assessment conducted for each SLR scenario. Exposed assets are listed only once under the first SLR scenario in which they are exposed to each water level event (king tide or 100-year storm tide). For example, if an asset is first exposed to 100-year storm tide flooding with 12- inches SLR, the asset will only be listed in the 100-year storm tide category under 12-inches SLR. The asset will not be repeatedly listed in the vulnerability profiles for subsequently higher amounts of SLR. A notes column is also included in each vulnerability profile to provide additional information about the flooding and SLR exposure of each asset. Additional notes regarding an asset’s sensitivity or adaptive capacity, and supplemental information provided by the Project Team during the asset data collection phase are included in Attachment C. Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 14/46 March 2018 0-Inches SLR

SLR Vulnerability Summary: 0-Inches SLR

King Tide  Only assets that are built out over the water (floating or on piles or piers) or underwater (such as marine outfalls) are exposed to king tide flooding under existing conditions. Water levels associated with king tide + 0-inches SLR are within the typical operating conditions of these facilities. Information on the finish floor elevation of these facilities would provide a better understanding of flood sensitivity.

Storm Tide  Portions of the shoreline north of Percival Landing and along the Isthmus (near Olympia Yacht Club and Oyster House) are overtopped and shoreline and landward areas are exposed to flooding.  The short segment of overtopped shoreline along Dockside Bistro, Budd Bay Café, and Fiddlehead Marina is relatively short, yet contributes to a much larger area of landward flooding (including flooded areas to the north and east).  Key facilities exposed to flooding include: the Olympia Center and Senior Services for South Sound, Water Street Sewer Lift Station, and Port of Olympia Office.  Several key road corridors are exposed to flooding, including: State St, 4th Ave, Water St, and Capitol Way.  Rail access to the marine terminal is exposed to flooding.  The Heritage Park shoreline and a portion of the Downtown Olympia Historic District are exposed to flooding.

King Tide  The Heritage Park shoreline is exposed to flooding.  Only assets that are built out over the water (floating or on piles or piers) or submerged (such as marine outfalls) are exposed to king tide flooding under king tide + 6-inches SLR conditions. Water levels associated with king tide + 6-inches SLR are within the typical operating conditions of these facilities. Information on the finish floor elevation of these facilities would provide a better understanding of flood sensitivities.

Storm Tide  Portions of the Port shoreline in the vicinity of KGY Radio and North Point Park are overtopped, allowing floodwaters to spread southward towards the Marine Terminal, inundating the Cascade Pole contaminated site and Treatment Facility.  Other portions of the Port are exposed to flooding as well, including the southern interior portion of the Marine Terminal and Warehouse A; however, the source of flooding for these assets is from the south along the Port Plaza shoreline and Fiddlehead Marina. Flood extents and depths on the Marine Terminal may be overstated in this scenario due to the long flood pathway and storm duration required for floodwaters to reach these areas.  Minor flooding of the Swantown Marina launch ramp occurs.  Nearly the entire shoreline south of Port Plaza to the Isthmus, including Percival Landing Park, is overtopped in this scenario and shoreline and landward areas are exposed to flooding.  Flood extents greatly expand in the Capitol Lake area, particularly along the Heritage Park shoreline and the two block area from Water St to Columbia St between 5th Ave and 7th Ave.  Key facilities exposed to flooding include: the 7th Ave and Water St portable pump station, Intercity Transit Facility, Port Plaza, Cascade Pole contaminated site and treatment facility, Warehouse A, a stormwater lift station at the Port, the PSE Thurston Substation, and parking and access to the LOTT Regional Services Center, and Farmers Market.  Several key road corridors are exposed to flooding, including: Market St, Washington St, Simmons St, and 5th Ave. The western entrance to the rail tunnel at 7th Ave is exposed to flooding.  Key social services, including Olympia Union Gospel Mission, Thurston County Food Bank, Community Youth Services, and Providence Community Care Center are exposed to flooding.

King Tide  Portions of the Olympia shoreline are overtopped during the king tide + 18-inch SLR scenario, including the majority of the Isthmus shoreline at the Olympia Yacht Club and Oyster House (access and parking), Heritage Park shoreline, low-lying segments north of the Harbor House, and a small segment of Port shoreline at KGY Radio (access and parking).  A portion of the Downtown Olympia Historic District is exposed to flooding under the king tide + 18-inches SLR scenario.  Some additional assets that are built out over the water (floating or on piles or piers) are exposed to king tide flooding under the king tide + 18-inches SLR scenario. Water levels associated with king tide + 18-inches SLR likely exceed the upper limit of typical operating conditions of these facilities. Information on the finish floor elevation and functioning of these facilities (for example, operating range of floating docks) would enable a more detailed evaluation of flood sensitivities.

Storm Tide  The majority of the western portion of the Olympia peninsula is exposed to inundation from North Point Park southward to the Isthmus. Nearly all of the West Bay shoreline is overtopped, with the exception of the Marine Terminal shipping berths.  There is minor shoreline overtopping along the East Bay shoreline, primarily at the Swantown Marina boat launch and a short low-lying segment south of the Boatworks. In general, the landward flooding in the eastern portion of the peninsula is a result of floodwaters traveling across downtown from West Bay and not from overtopping of the East Bay shoreline, which is higher in elevation.  Key facilities exposed to flooding include: Harbor House (access), Powerhouse (access and parking), Marine Terminal, Swantown Boatworks (boat haul-out and access via Marine Drive), and OAR Boathouse  Many key road corridors are exposed to flooding and flooding of Marine Drive expands to inundate the segment from Olympia Ave to Swantown Boatworks.

Contaminated Sites With 68-inches of sea level rise, 29 known contaminated sites have been identified as vulnerable to flooding by a 100-year storm tide. The impacts of inundation on these vulnerable contaminated sites is site specific and can be influenced by the contaminants of concern, the extent of contamination, the media involved (groundwater, soil, or sediment), soil conditions, groundwater hydrology, and the type of remedy used to conduct the cleanup. Similarly, strategies for adapting contaminated sites to SLR will be varied and site-specific. The Department of ’s Toxics Cleanup Program (Ecology) manages the cleanup of contaminated sites. Ecology conducted a vulnerability assessment for the state’s cleanup sites to understand what types of sites are most vulnerable to climate change impacts. They found that SLR had the highest potential risk to sediment and upland cleanup sites in or near marine and tidally influenced waterbodies. Ecology has developed a guidance document, Adaptation Strategies for Resilient Cleanup Remedies (2017), which provides a framework and information for cleanup project managers to assess the risks associated with SLR and identify potential adaptation measures. The Project Team will consider the findings and recommendations of this report in the development of adaptation strategies to address the impacts of SLR on contaminated sites in the study area.

LOTT Vulnerability Analysis Combined Sewer System A primary concern for the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant is overland flooding from Budd Inlet and the impact to the combined sewer system. During coastal flood events, floodwaters can overtop the shoreline and travel overland and through the streets to flood catch basins that collect stormwater into the combined sewer system. This additional volume of water then mixes with wastewater and is then conveyed to Budd Inlet Treatment Plant. This surcharge of combined floodwater and wastewater could overwhelm the treatment plant and result in additional treatment costs or increased likelihood of bypasses, in which untreated or partially treated wastewater is discharged directly to Budd Inlet through the Fiddlehead Outfall. Additionally, if the treatment plant was overwhelmed by incoming flows, wastewater could back-up into the City sewer collection system and potentially flood homes and businesses. During such a flood event, the primary activity of the treatment plant would be to convey incoming flows (comprising seawater, stormwater runoff, and sewage) through the plant and discharge it to Budd Inlet to alleviate upstream flooding. AECOM estimated the potential additional volume of combined wastewater that could be conveyed to Budd Inlet Treatment Plant during king tide and 100-year storm tide events for each SLR scenario. The results of this analysis are presented in Table 5.

Table 5. Combined Sewer System Impacts due to Overland Flooding

Note: Assumes flood duration of one hour. MG = million gallons.

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 37/46 March 2018

The results are likely a conservative estimate; however, they highlight the importance of preventing overland flooding events to ensure the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant meets its intended level of service. The projected locations of the flooded catch basins are shown in Figure 3. The results indicate that even with no SLR, a 100-year storm tide event that occurred today could flood 26 catch basins and convey an additional 1.8 million gallons (MG) of wastewater to the treatment plant. With just six inches of SLR, the number of flooded catch basins increases to 153 and could convey an additional 9.8 MG. With 18-inches of SLR, overland flooding events would occur multiple times each year during king tides.

Figure 3. Projected Flooding of Combined Sewer Catch Basins

Budd Inlet Treatment Plant Facilities

A 2014 study by Brown and Caldwell evaluated the vulnerability of the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant to SLR. The study compiled ground elevations at each of the treatment plant facilities and evaluated exposure to flooding.

The Brown and Caldwell study identified the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) Thurston Substation, headworks, and effluent pump station as the critical components during a major storm event.

 PSE Thurston Substation – located at the corner of Thurston Ave NE and Franklin St NE; contains sensitive electrical components that could be damaged by floodwaters; in the event of loss of power, the plant would rely on back-up power generators  Headworks – back-up generators, influent pump ancillary equipment, and generator switchboard are located at grade; the plant’s influent pumps are located below grade  Effluent pump station – includes effluent pumps, combined sewer overflow pumps, effluent pump ancillary equipment, generator switchboard, and back-up generator

Table 6 indicates the ground elevations and projected SLR exposure of each facility within the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant. Portions of the treatment plant are projected to be exposed to 100-year storm tide flooding with approximately 18-inches of SLR. This amount of SLR is projected to occur around mid-century (2040 to 2060). The projected timing of exposure to the 100-year storm tide flood event for the mid-range and high-range SLR projections was estimated for each facility and is also shown in Table 6. Facilities that may be exposed to flooding by mid-century (2040 to 2060) are listed below:

 Main utilidor (buried below grade)  PSE Thurston Substation  Maintenance Building  Solids Handling Building  Digesters

Operations SLR may affect the operations of the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant in the future. In particular, effluent pumping and gravity discharge from the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant will be affected by SLR due to higher water levels in Budd Inlet. Previous studies indicated that effluent cannot be discharged via gravity when the tide level is above mean high water. As a result, SLR will increase the frequency and duration of pumping to discharge effluent to Budd Inlet in the future. SLR will also decrease the capacity of the effluent pumping system as the pumps will have to work harder against higher water levels in Budd Inlet. This study evaluated the capacity of the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant effluent pump station and north force main to evaluate the impact of SLR on effluent pumping performance. The existing three-pump effluent pump station and north force main have a discharge capacity of 55 MGD. The approximate decrease in effluent pumping capacity as a result of SLR is shown in Table 7. The findings indicate that the system experiences an approximately 1 MGD decrease per 3 feet increase in water level in Budd Inlet (either due to SLR or high tide/storm surge event).

Stormwater Backflow Analysis While a portion of Olympia’s stormwater is collected and conveyed to Budd Inlet Treatment Plant, not all parts of the stormwater system are connected to the combined sewer system. The stormwater collection and drainage system in uncombined areas drains directly to Capitol Lake or Budd Inlet through approximately 70 outfalls located along the shoreline. During flood, high tide, and storm surge events, floodwaters can travel upstream (“backflow”) through the stormwater collection system and cause surface flooding. Backflow flooding through the stormwater system is shown conceptually in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Example Backflow Flooding of Streets through the Stormwater Collection System

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 41/46 March 2018

The Project Team reviewed the SLR inundation maps and the stormwater collection system network to identify areas that may be susceptible to backflow flooding during high water events. Three primary areas were identified (Figure 5): A. Capitol Lake: northeast shoreline of Capitol Lake, between 7th Ave and 5th Ave B. Marine Terminal: southwest corner of marine terminal C. East Bay: southwest shoreline of East Bay, near intersection of Olympia Ave and Jefferson St

These areas and their associated exposure to backflow flooding during king tide and 100-year storm tide events are shown in Table 8. Once floodwaters overtop the shoreline, these low-lying areas merge with areas of direct surface flooding from Capitol Lake or Budd Inlet.

Figure 5. Areas of Potential Backflow Flooding Through the Stormwater System

The potential size of backflow flooding areas is shown in Table 9. All three of these backflow areas have the potential to flood portions of downtown greater than one acre in size; however, both the Capitol Lake and East Bay stormwater pipes have valves to prevent backflow. The outfall shown just north of Warehouse A in the Marine Terminal (Figure 5) was removed as part of the Port’s stormwater plant project; however, backflow could still flood this this area from the southern outfall at Port Plaza. Despite the presence of Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 43/46 March 2018

valves to prevent backflow flooding in these areas, flood vulnerabilities still exist due to low-lying topography. In particular, during coincident precipitation and high tide/storm surge events, drainage through outfalls may be impeded or capacity reduced. In addition, the disconnected, low-lying areas depicted in the inundation maps may also be susceptible to high groundwater effects, especially near the shoreline where elevated tides may infiltrate the soil.

Each vulnerability is summarized below.

Effect of SLR on Capitol Lake dam operations and flood levels SLR will affect Capitol Lake dam operations and flood levels as tide levels in Budd Inlet increase over time because the dam structure operations depend on water levels in Budd Inlet. This assessment did not conduct a detailed evaluation of Capitol Lake flood levels or the effect of SLR on Capitol Lake flooding of Heritage Park or downtown Olympia; however, prior studies have evaluated this impact to some degree. A 2008 study by Moffatt & Nichol estimated 2-year, 5-year, 25-year, and 100-year flood elevations within Capitol Lake for 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 feet of SLR. The analysis found that SLR will increase flood elevations within Capitol Lake; however, the predicted increase is less than the amount of SLR for the scenarios evaluated (Table 10).

Table 10. Projected Increase in Capitol Lake Flood Elevations due to SLR

Increase in Flood Elevation (Feet) SLR 2-Year 5-Year 25-Year 100-Year 0.5 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.5 1.0 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 2.0 1.3 1.5 1.6 1.7 Source: Capitol Lake Alternatives Analysis Low-lying Infrastructure (Moffat & Nichol 2008)

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 44/46 March 2018

The results presented in Table 10 assume Capitol Lake will continue to be operated as a managed freshwater system similar to today. Conversion of Capitol Lake to an estuary would reintroduce tidal flows to the lake and flood elevations would likely match those in Budd Inlet. Effect of SLR on Indian/Moxlie Creek SLR will affect the performance of the Indian/Moxlie Creek outfall as tide levels in Budd Inlet increase over time because high tidal waters can backflow into the stormwater system and reduce storage capacity and high tides cause a backwater effect that can increase the flood profile within the Indian/Moxlie Creek system. This assessment did not conduct a detailed evaluation of Indian/Moxlie Creek; however, prior studies have evaluated this impact. A 2011 study by Coast & Harbor Engineering applied a numerical model of the pipe network for combined high tide and precipitation events with 1-feet, 2-feet, and 4.2-feet of SLR. SLR was shown to increase the extent and depth of upstream flooding.

Effect of SLR on Shoreline Erosion SLR may exacerbate existing shoreline erosion occurring along unstable portions of shoreline, such as adjacent to the Indian/Moxlie Creek outfall structure and along the East Bay shoreline. As SLR increases typical daily tide levels, eroded shorelines will be exposed to waves more frequently and for a longer duration of time, which may increase the rate of erosion in existing hot spots or expose new areas to wave erosion in the future. 6. Risk Assessment Approach The Project Team conducted a risk assessment by analyzing the potential consequences that could occur due to exposure to flooding and SLR hazards. The types of consequences considered in the risk assessment included:

 Critical service consequences: Temporary or permanent inundation impacts to power, communications, water and wastewater services, medical facilities, and/or lifeline transportation services.  Social consequences: Impacts to and safety, general displacement and homelessness, and to the provision of social services.  Economic and financial consequences: Workforce disruption, loss or damage to real estate, or impacts to tourism or significant industries.  Environmental consequences: Deterioration or loss of critical habitats or species and water quality impacts.

Following the identification of consequences, a rating of low, medium or high was applied by each agency for its individual assets, using the following definitions.  Low consequence: Easily relocated facility or service. Impacts to few people. Minimal investment.  Medium consequence: Important, but not critical facility or service. Moderate investment.  High consequence: Critical infrastructure. Vital to health and safety. Extraordinary investment.

7. Risk Assessment Findings Attachment C contains the qualitative consequences and ratings organized by asset type (i.e. City, LOTT, Port, community, grouped). Additionally, the Project Team identified the following quantitative consequences of flooding:

Olympia Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment Page 45/46 March 2018

 Flood fighting expenses of approximately $38,000 per event to address a 12-inches SLR and a 100- year storm event of 9-hours in duration.  Single occupancy vehicle commuter delay costs of approximately $304,000 during a 24-inches SLR and a 100-year storm event.  Transit commuter delay costs of approximately $47,000 during a 24-inches SLR and a 100-year storm event.  Loss of 655 trees at an appraised value of $1,036,360 (by 36-inches SLR).

8. Next Steps Strategy Development. Adaptation strategies will be developed for assets that are vulnerable and considered to have a high risk. Strategies will include physical infrastructure, governance, and informational strategies. The findings of the vulnerability and risk assessment will be used to prioritize and phase the implementation of strategies as part of the SLR Response Plan.
