BRICK TOWNSHIP FLOODING SOLUTIONS Presented to the Residents of Shore Acres and Seawood Harbor Mayor John G. Ducey and Township Council June 8, 2020
ACT ENGINEERS, INC. TEAM Eric Rosina Robert Korkuch, PE, PP, CME Vice President President Principal, Environmental Services Jeff Richter, PE, PP Junetta Dix Carol Beske Director, Engineering Director, Environmental Services Director, Community Outreach
ACT ENGINEERS’ INITIAL SCOPE OF WORK • Review previous & on-going studies • Identify flood elevations and establish solutions by elevation • Prepare mapping of existing conditions (topography, storm sewer, roadway, bulkhead, key/vulnerable infrastructure, etc.) for 13 identified neighborhoods • 13 neighborhoods – this meeting focuses on Shore Acres and Seawood Harbor (including Snake Road); additional meetings for other neighborhoods • Recommend conceptual engineering design solutions specific to each neighborhood
13 STUDY AREAS 1) Shore Acres 2) Seawood Harbor (Including Snake Road) 3) Normandy Beach 4) Beaver Dam Creek Watershed a. Bay Harbor b. Baywood c. Harbor Place d. Island Drive / Island Court e. Vannote / Glenwood Place f. Swan Point g. Sandy Point h. Tunes Brook i. Princeton Ave (Bayfront) 5) Cherry Quay (Seagoin Road)

TIDAL RANGE - SHORE ACRES & SEAWOOD HARBOR Seawood Harbor Lowest Road El. = 1.09’ Shore Acres Lowest Road El. = 0.87’
SHORE ACRES & SEAWOOD HARBOR Conceptual Flood Mitigation Design Approaches Short Term Design Approaches Long Term Design Approaches Site Name (To Design Elevation < 2.0’) (>2.0’ Design Elevation) (Floods 1,500± hrs. per year*) (Floods 60± hrs. per year*) Install Check Valves Raise Roads / Properties Shore Acres Raise Roads Raise Bulkheads Raise Critical Bulkheads Install Pump Stations Seawood Harbor Raise Roads Raise Roads / Properties (Including Snake Road) Raise Critical Bulkheads Raise Bulkheads *USGS Mantoloking Tide Gage Raise Roadways Raise Bulkhead Heights Install Check Valves
RAISE ROADWAYS TO MITIGATE TIDAL FLOODING Proposed Raised Road Elevation Existing Road Elevation • Improves vehicular access during normal tide events • May require driveway / sidewalks / yard improvements • Stormwater impacts/mitigation addressed with final design • Need for neighborhood ‘buy in’
RAISE ROADWAYS TO MITIGATE TIDAL FLOODING
INSTALL CHECK VALVES Ground Level Inlets at Gutter Bulkhead Check Valve
RAISE / STABLIZE SHORELINES Examples: Bulkheads; living shorelines; rock revetments; etc.
SHORE ACRES AND SEAWOOD HARBOR ONGOING AND NEXT STEPS • Update topographic mapping • Identify and pursue funding sources: USACE; FEMA; NJOEM; NJDOT • Secure funding • Identify and recommend Township Ordinance revisions for future design standards (i.e., minimum height of new bulkheads) • Develop a strategy, allocate funding, and implement
