2. Northshore Bulkhead Project-Scope Three General Locations: Canal Area West Bay Drive and Lindell Blvd. West End (Northern Street Ends)

3. Canal Area Doyle Street (Sarazen) Canal Eastside Chester to Bay Heron Street (Ouimet) Canal Eastside Chester to to Bay New FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Bulkhead to be installed in front of existing. New Height is the BFE (Base Flood Elevation). To facilitate construction in these areas all structures in the waterway that parallel the bulkhead must be removed. All obstructions within a minimum of five (5) linear feet of the landward (eastside) of the bulkhead must be removed as well.

4. West Bay Drive Area West Bay Drive Between Washington and Magnolia Blvd. Lindell Blvd. North Street End Existing Cap and Rail Shall be Removed. New Concrete Cap Installed. Existing Steel Cleaned, Primed, and Coated. New Height is BFE (Base Flood Elevation). In the West Bay Drive Area, anything affixed to the bulkhead must be removed within five (5 ) feet (north and south) of the structure.

5. West End North Street Ends at: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Delaware, Wyoming, Virginia, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Georgia, Connecticut, and Ohio Avenue. New FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Bulkhead to be installed in front of existing. New Height is the BFE (Base Flood Elevation).

6. BFEDefined FEMA defines the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) as the computed elevation to which the flood is anticipated to rise during the base flood. The base flood is also referred to as the 1-percent annual chance flood or 100- year flood. The 1-percent annual chance flood means that, statistically, there's a 1% chance every year that there will be a flood that looks like the one on the FEMA maps. But it could flood less, or more, or many times a year, or not at all.

7. WhyBFE Height Selected? In the project area the proposed height of the new bulkhead(s) is elevation 9.0 or 10.0 NAVD depending on the location of your home on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Rate Map. The height was recommended by the consulting firm working on our Northshore Critical Infrastructure Protection Project ($20 million dollar FEMA 404 Mitigation Project) FEMA s minimum requirement for design elevations for any flood protection structure in a coastal floodplain is at or above the 100 year BFE.
