Five Mile River Commission June 11, 2015 Meeting Minutes The Boardroom, Rowayton Community Center 33 Highland Ave., Rowayton, CT 06853 Commission members in attendance: Matthew Marion, Chairman William Jessup, Commissioner John deRegt, Commissioner Ray Meurer, Harbor Superintendent David Snyder, Assistant Harbor Superintendent Guests: Geoffrey Steadman, marine consultant John Hilts, consultant, in water structures Lynn Worland, Rowayton Beach Association Kathleen Hagerty, Rowayton Beach Association Matthew Marion took the chair at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Marion confirmed for the record that the Commissioners had reviewed and unanimously approved the May 7, 2015 meeting minutes electronically, and that the minutes were then filed electronically with the Town of Darien and the City of Norwalk. Public notice of the May 7, 2015 meeting was timely provided and the agenda timely filed with the Town of Darien and the City of Norwalk. Chairman Marion welcomed the guests to the meeting and, after initial remarks about the dredging project in 1999, asked consultant Geoff Steadman to provide an overview of the basic steps the Commission should take to progress its next dredging project in the Five Mile River (FMR). Mr. Steadman stated that two of the major issues to be addressed are funding and compliance with Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) policy, including the proximity of moorings to the federal channel. He listed among the preliminary steps a survey of present depths and toxicity testing of proposed dredged material, both of which would be conducted and funded by the New England Division, ACE. Mr. Steadman proposed contacting the ACE to see if the FMR is currently scheduled for those two tasks. -
Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary Report Master
Photo Credit: Bob Luckey City of Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary of Findings City of Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary of Findings Overview The need for municipalities, regional planning organizations, states and federal agen- cies to increase resilience and adapt to extreme weather events and mounting natural hazards is strikingly evident along the coast of Connecticut. Recent events such as Tropical Storm Irene, the Halloween Snow Storm, Hurricane Sandy, and most recently Blizzard Juno have reinforced this urgency and compelled leading communities like the City of Stamford to proactively plan and mitigate risks. Ultimately, this type of leader- ship is to be commended because it will reduce the exposure and vulnerability of Stam- ford’s citizens, infrastructure and ecosystems and serve as a model for communities across Connecticut, the Atlantic Seaboard, and the Nation. In the fall of 2013, a partnership formed between the City of Stamford, Western Con- necticut Council of Governments, and The Nature Conservancy. This partnership fo- cused on increasing awareness of risks from natural and climate-related hazards and to assess the vulnerabilities, and strengths within the City of Stamford. This was actual- ized through a series of presentations, meetings, and outreach to build stakeholder will- ingness and engagement followed by a Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop in December of 2014. The core directive of the Workshop was the engagement with and between community stakeholders in order to facilitate the education, planning and ulti- mately implementation of priority adaptation action. The Workshop’s central objectives were to: Deine extreme weather and local natural and climate-related hazards; Identify existing and future vulnerabilities and strengths; Develop and prioritize actions for the City and broader stakeholder networks; Identify opportunities for the community to advance actions to reduce risk and increase resilience comprehensively. -

We Were Able to Win the Trophy for the Highest Per Capita Recruiting During Our Annual Recruiting Drive in March
Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network April 2021 220212020 2017017 2016 Repeat! Rhode Island wins the Cup, again! We were able to win the trophy for the highest per capita recruiting during our annual recruiting drive in March. You have joined a great citizen science network. We look forward to you reporting soon. Last March, we broke through 10,000 Daily Reports for the month for the first time. This March, we broke through 13,000 Daily Reports for the first time. Congratulations, all. In the past 12 months, we have grown by 30% in terms of reporting observers and in terms of Daily Reports. Our special anniversary feature is for Rhode Island. More news items about zeros and hail reports. Bare ground has appeared in Plainfield MA, so spring is upon us and we can start putting our snow boards away. We could use the rain. And enjoy the daffodils and the other spring flowers as they bloom. Patriots Day is coming. Joe’s feature article is about the station that launches weather balloons at Chatham MA, at the elbow of Cape Cod. A good list of observers on our version of The “Grand” List. Let’s get into it.
