Community Action Number: 33_01 Middletown, Township of Describing the Action Action Name: Acquire, elevate, or relocate buildings and infrastructure in flood prone areas, with a focus on Substantially Damaged, Repetitive Loss (RL), and Severe Repetitive Loss (SRL) properties Action Category: Mitigation - Risk Reduction Action Type: Structure and Infrastructure Project HMA Eligible Activity: Structure Elevation Action Description: Elevate 248 structures determined to be substantially damaged and mitigate (elevate or acquire for open space) RL and SRL properties. Evaluating the Action Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood, Wave Action, Nor'easter, Hurricane and Tropical Storm, Storm Surge Goals: 1, 2, 3, 6 Risk Reduction: Several residential structures throughout the community are prone to flooding, with their main floor elevations below current BFEs. A substantial portion of Middletown lies within mapped storm surge hazard areas, including locations well inland of the Sandy Hook Bay shore, as well as areas along the Navesink River and its tributaries. During Superstorm Sandy, Middletown's Sandy Hook Bay communities of Port Monmouth, Belford, and Leonardo experienced storm surge flooding over a very large area generally north of Route 36 (though tidal flooding along Pews Creek and Compton Creek did extend south of Route 36). Communities in these areas were severely impacted. Along the Navesink and its tributaries, flooding tended to be more constrained to undeveloped floodplains and marina areas; however, along the meandering Swimming River, overbank flooding did affect some homes and businesses. Sea level rise and climate change will contribute to more frequent and severe flooding and surge events. Technical: Elevation is technically feasible. Political: Our political leadership supports this type of project. Legal: While the municipality does not own the structures in question, we fully support the homeowners in moving forward. Environmental: No environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of elevating the homes. Social: No particular social group in our community is likely to be disproportionately impacted by this project. Administrative Capability: Township has sufficient capacity and experience to administer this action. Local Champion: Affected homeowners and businesses.

Other Community Objectives: Elevating homes in flood hazard areas will represent a benefit to the community as a whole by reducing the emergency response, cleanup, and social costs inflicted by future flood events. STAPLEE Evaluation: 11

Community Action Number: 33_02 Middletown, Township of Describing the Action Action Name: De-snag and Desilt Streams and Provide Wetlands Maintenance Action Category: Maintenance/Response/Recovery Action Type: Natural Systems Protection HMA Eligible Activity: Miscellaneous/Other Action Description: Management of riparian buffers along rivers and streams, channel desnagging to preserve the function of natural drainage channels and floodplains, wetlands maintenance and removal of invasive plant species, desilting and dredging of streams and ditches of the following: Waackaack Creek/L.F. 12,500; Pew's Creek/L.F. 10,500; Compton's Creek/L.F. 39,300; Ware Creek/L.F. 10,800; Wagner's Creek/L.F. 12,000; Claypit Creek/L.F. 14,400; McClees Creek L.F. 19,200. The total stream cleaning is 118,700 LF and assumed silt removal rate 0.75 cu. Evaluating the Action Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood, Nor'easter, Hurricane and Tropical Storm, Wildfire Goals: 2, 3, 5, 6 Risk Reduction: Streams and ditches in Special Flood Hazard Areas do not convey storm flows as efficiently as they should, which results in flooding in several areas. In addition to a flood hazard, accumulated dead vegetation poses a fire hazard. Invasive plant species are becoming prominent in wetland areas, thus decreasing storage capacities. Technical: Excavation is technically feasible. Political: Our political leadership supports this type of project. Legal: This proposal is consistent FEMA program eligibility guidance, and local mitigation plans. Environmental: Permit required for dredging. Social: No particular social group in our community is likely to be disproportionately impacted by this project. Administrative Capability: Township has sufficient capacity and experience to administer this action. Local Champion: Residents in affected areas in Middletown support the township in moving forward.

Other Community Objectives: To prevent blockages in our waterways and mosquito control. STAPLEE Evaluation: N/A

Community Action Number: 33_03 Middletown, Township of Describing the Action Action Name: Construct and Install an Automatic Slide Gate at Wilson Avenue at Pews Creek Action Category: Mitigation - Risk Reduction Action Type: Structure and Infrastructure Project HMA Eligible Activity: Localized Flood Risk Reduction Projects Action Description: Construct and install an additional automatic tide-activated electrically-actuated slide gate device at Wilson Avenue at Pews Creek. Evaluating the Action Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood, Nor'easter, Hurricane and Tropical Storm, Storm Surge Goals: 2, 3, 5 Risk Reduction: During extreme lunar tides, the flood protection provided by the newly constructed Wilson Ave. slide gate is compromised and there is a tidal flow of water from Compton's Creek across Main Street into the residential properties between Main St. and Brainard Ave. The drainage system is then quickly inundated, and the streets become flooded, negating the intended positive effects of the Wilson Ave flood gate. Technical: Construction is technically feasible. Political: Our political leadership supports this type of project. Legal: No apparent legal issues. Environmental: No environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of construction and installation. Social: No particular social group in our community is likely to be disproportionately impacted by this project. Administrative Capability: Township has sufficient capacity and experience to administer this action. Local Champion: Affected homeowners, and businesses support the construction and installation of the gate.

Other Community Objectives: We are continuing to review shoreline protection in the post Sandy environment regarding maintenance and upgrades. STAPLEE Evaluation: N/A

Implementing the Action Cost Estimate: $170,000.00 Priority: Local Planning Mechanism: We continue to monitor and maintain flood gates during normal tidal conditions. Responsible Party: Mayor and Township Committee Likely Funding Source(s): FEMA HMA Timeline: Action Status: Completed Notes: Awarded FEMA funds. When the Pews Creek slide gate is closed and the tide is very high, water from Comptons Creek floods the underground drainage system in the streets and the roads stay flooded until the gate opens again near low tide.

Community Action Number: 34_02 Millstone, Township of Describing the Action Action Name: Remove Dead and Hazardous Trees along Township's ROWs Action Category: Maintenance/Response/Recovery Action Type: Natural Systems Protection HMA Eligible Activity: Miscellaneous/Other/NA Action Description: Removal of dead and hazardous trees along Township roads’ rights-of-way

Evaluating the Action Hazard(s) Addressed: All Hazards Goals: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Risk Reduction: Much of Millstone Township is located in mapped moderate to extreme wildfire risk areas. Dead and hazardous trees exist at various locations throughout the town presenting fuel sources for wildfire. In addition to the inherent risks associated with dead and hazardous trees in moderate and extreme wildfire risk areas, dead and hazardous trees are more likely to fall as a result of wind during various types of storms. Downed trees block roadways and take down powerlines as they fall. Blocked roadways hamper transportation of all types; most importantly, emergency services. Power outages hamper communications {particularly emergency services type); and, because the Township still operates on private wells and septic systems, it is totally dependent on electric power for running water and other basic toileting and bathing needs. Finding workable solutions to these problems continue to be Millstone's biggest challenges. Technical: Technically feasible. Will help remove dead trees from the roadway, additionally providing a safe roadway access for emergency vehicles. Political: No apparent political issues. Legal: No apparent legal issues. Environmental: No adverse environmental effects. Will help improve right-of-way access without any environmental impact. Social: Does not adversely affect any particular social group. Perceived by the public to be a good thing due to the reduction in wildfire risk.

Community Action Number: 36_01 Neptune City, Borough of Describing the Action Action Name: Increase Piping Capacity and Reduce Sediment/Debris within Watershed Action Category: Action Type: Structure and Infrastructure Project HMA Eligible Activity: Localized Flood Risk Reduction Projects Action Description: The Borough improves their stormwater system every year with their yearly roadway program. Develop mitigation steps to reduce damage and losses due to flooding through control of stormwater runoff and more efficient drainage and discharge to Shark River. Provide larger piping capacity and reduces sediment/ debris within watershed providing better overall volume/flow throughout the system. The City has identified the following key areas: Evergreen, East End Ave, Boston Rd, Rt 35/3rd Ave and Windsor Ct. Evaluating the Action Hazard(s) Addressed: Flood, Nor'easter, Hurricane and Tropical Storm, Storm Surge Goals: 2, 3, 5, 6 Risk Reduction: Piped streams and stormwater management infrastructure do not convey stormwater runoff as efficiently as they should resulting in flooding. Most of the City is in areas mapped as potentially susceptible to storm surge. During Superstorm Sandy, the inundation area was limited fairly close to the Shark River including East End Ave., Windsor Ct., Route 35, and Steiner Ave. between Route 35 and 3rd Ave. Drainage system does not efficiently convey storm water runoff; this results in flooding in several areas. Sea Level Rise and climate change will contribute to more frequent and severe flooding and surge events over a larger area. Technical: Technically feasible. Will help remove stormwater runoff more effectively and eliminate debris from entering the watershed. Political: No apparent political issues. Legal: No apparent legal issues. Environmental: No adverse environmental impacts. Will help improve flood control and debris within watershed. Social: Does not adversely affect any particular social group. Perceived by the public to be a good thing because of repetitive nature of flooding in the project area. Administrative Capability: Need at least three people to administer (after technical assistance from the State) Local Champion: Residents of Neptune City, Shark River Environmental Commission
