Work Plan
Phase 11 Canal Management Master Plan to Improve Water Quality in the Florida Keys
ATTACHMENT A—WORK PLAN
Phase 11 Canal Management Master Plan to Improve Water Quality in the Florida Keys
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Situation,Need, and Previous Efforts-Construction of residential canals in the Florida Keys was
initiated in the mid-20t"century, before resource managers fully understood their impacts on local water
quality and broader coastal ecosystems. Many of the 503 canal systems currently present in the Keys
were excavated to depths of three to six meters in order to maximize production of fill material. Most
were designed as long, multi-segmented, dead-end canal networks which maximize waterfront property
but provide little or no tidal flushing and accumulate nutrients and decomposing organic material.
Water quality issues involving manmade canals have been evaluated by the U.S. Environniental
Protection Agency(Kruczynski 1999), the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS 2007),and
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP 2008). As summarized in the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan(2011), these issues include anthropogenic pollutant loadings from on-site
sewage disposal and stormwater runoff, and accumulation of non-anthropogenic materials such as
senescent seagrass leaves and other organic flotsam("weed wrack"), leading to elevated levels of
nutrients, biochemical oxygen demand, hydrogen sulfide, and bacteriological indicators.
Kruczynski (1999) provided the following summary of water quality issues related to existing Keys
canals:
• the water column of many canals over six feet deep is stratified and bottom waters are oxygen
deficient;
• because they usually violate Class III Surface Water Quality Standards,canals were excluded from
the State's previous Outstanding Florida Waters(OFW)designations;
• canal systems and basins with poor water quality are a potential source of nutrients and other
contaminants to other nearshore waters;
• improving flushing of degraded canal systems may improve the water quality within the canal, but
may also result in adding additional nutrients to the adjacent waters; and
• Seagrass beds located near the mouths of some degraded canal systems exhibit signs of undesirable
nutrient enrichment and eutrophication, such as increased epiphyte load and growth of benthic algae.
Improvements in wastewater treatment and stormwater management practices are currently being
implemented in many areas of the Keys. These improvements are an essential first step,but will not solve
all the water quality problems in existing canals. Although many of these problems are linked to
wastewater and stormwater discharges, others are due to the physical structure,depth, and orientation of
canals, which can contribute to low flushing and the build-up of organic flotsam.
Recognizing these points, the FKNMS (2007)developed a canal water quality improvement strategy that
includes the following steps:
1. Evaluate and revise the existing 'hot spot' list of water quality problem areas;
1 Inventory and characterize canals, identifying those whose water quality problems are attributable
mainly to physical structure, flushing rates and orientation;
3. Develop and evaluate improvement strategies;
4. Identify and compile a list of water quality improvement technologies;
5. Develop a community education and involvement program;
6. Conduct a canal system restoration pilot project; and
7. Implement improvement strategies in canals identified as 'hot spots'.
I
The Monroe County Sanitary Wastewater Master Plan(CH2MHILL 2000)and Monroe County
Storniwater Master Plan (CDM 2001)are addressing Item 1, and Item 5 has been addressed by the
initiation of the community-based Florida Keys Bay Watch. Work on items 2 and 4 was initiated through
the Monroe County Residential Canal Inventory and Assessment project, which provided an inventory of
existing canals and a broad overview of potential treatment technologies(MACTEC 2003).
A project that is currently underway, with funding provided by FDEP, project management provided by
Monroe County, and technical support provided by the Canal Subcommittee of the WQPP Steering
Committee, is developing an"early action list"of potential canal restoration projects and identifying
possible funding sources for those projects, fulfilling two Steering Committee priorities. That Phase I
project is also developing the initial framework for a Keys-wide Canal Management Master Plan
(CMMP), modeled on the county-wide wastewater and stormwater master plans that are guiding current
water quality improvement efforts dealing with wastewater and stormwater issues.
Due to time and budget constraints, however, the scope of that Phase I project has been limited to
preparing the basic framework for the management plan, and addressing only a select group of the
highest-priority canals. In order to develop a Keys-wide canal management plan that is comparable to the
County's existing wastewater and stormwater master plans, additional funds are required. The purpose of
this funding request is to seek those funds,which will support the development of a comprehensive
CNIMP,
1.2 Objective(s) -The Canal Subcommittee of the WQPP Steering Corrimittee has adopted the following
objectives for the CNIMP: "to provide an ecologically sound and economically feasible funding and
implementation strategy for improving and managing the environmental quality of canal systems in the
Florida Keys, The plan will provide flexible and cost-effective solutions that improve canal management
practices throughout the Keys and satisfy the existing and future needs of the community. It must address
affordability and equity issues, reflect key stakeholder concerns,and satisfy environmental and regulatory
criteria and guidelines."
1.3 Applications, Benefits,and Importance-A key goal of the Local Action Strategy for the Land-
Based Sources of Pollution of the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Initiative is to reduce the impacts of land-
based sources of pollution to the coral reef ecosystem. The CNIMP will help to address this goal by
developing a Keys-wide canal management strategy for reducing discharges of pollutants from onshore
canal systems to nearshore and offshore waters.
2.0 Methods and Approach
2.1 Description of Major Tasks - In order to achieve the objectives defined above, the Canal
Subcommittee has initiated work on the following tasks. The purpose of this project will be complete each
of these tasks and develop a comprehensive CMMP document.
Task I. Review Previous Efforts and Collect Data. Issues identified during the initial phase of the
project have included: water quality(eutrophication and DO-related issues; organic loadings via 'weed
wrack'); sediment quality; habitat quality; and public involvement in the canal management process.
Task 2. Review and Update Previous Objectives and Management Goals. (Ideally, the goals should
be protective of living resources, quantitative, readily measurable, technically defensible, and
challenging but achievable.)
Task 3. Prepare Updated Comprehensive Canal Management Master Plan Database. Compile all
existing information from previous and current work efforts into the GIS database.
2
I'ask 4. Update Priority Management Issues and Goals for Keys-Wide Canal Management
Master Plan. Identify the steps that will be taken to periodically assess the effectiveness of
management actions, measure progress toward goals, and (if and when necessary) redirect efforts in
more productive directions.
Task 5. Prepare Keys-Wide Canal Ranking Criteria. Develop ranking criteria suitable for all canals
within the Florida Keys.
Task 6. Develop List of Suitable BMPs. Identify and evaluate canal management technologies that
may be implemented in future water quality improvement projects.
Task 7. Prepare Keys-Wide Canal Management Master Plan. Summarize results of steps 1-6 in a
user-friendly management plan document. This document will prioritize the water quality problems in
all of the canals and provide recommendations for appropriate remedial measures for each canal. The
document will be a tool for all Keys managers to assist in planning and budgeting for canal water
quality improvements.
3.0 Environmental Impact-The primary environmental impact of the project will be to help improve
and protect water, sediment and habitat quality within manmade canal systems. By reducing the export of
pollutants such as nutrients and BOD from canals, the project will also help to protect and maintain water
quality in the 'halo', nearshore and offshore zones of the Florida Keys
4.0 Future Efforts- Following completion of the CNIMP, the plan will need to be implemented in order
to achieve the desired environmental benefits. Two existing stakeholder groups-the WQPP Steering
Committee and its Canals Subcommittee-will ensure that implementation occurs. These two groups are
broadly based, including a number of relevant federal, state and local government agencies, and have a
proven track record on successful environmental management in the Keys region.

7.0 Environmental Results—Outcomes and Outputs
7.1 Outputs,Outcomes and Results
(i) Outputs (project products) -The project will produce a Keys-wide canal management master plan
(CMMP), which will be used by the multi-agency WQPP Steering Committee and its Canals
Subcommittee, as well as all Monroe County managers and planners,to guide future canal management
and restoration efforts.
(ii) Outcomes(project objectives) - Implementation of the plan will help to improve and protect water,
sediment and habitat quality in the canals themselves, and reduce discharges of nutrients, BOD and other
pollutants from the onshore canals to nearshore and offshore waters.
(iii) Link to EPA Strategic Plan -The EPA Strategic Plan Goal of Healthy Communities and
Ecosystems/Restore and Protect Critical Ecosystem/Restore and Protect the South Florida Ecosystem
(Goal 4, Objective 4.3, Sub-objective 4.3.7) contains the following elements:
• Maintain the overall health and functionality of sea grass beds in the FKNMS as measured by the
long term sea grass monitoring project that addresses composition and abundance, productivity,
and nutrient availability. (The 2005 baseline index of sea grass health will be available in
December 2006.)
• Maintain the overall water quality of the near shore and coastal waters of the FKNMS. (2005
baseline: For reef sites, chlorophyll less than or equal to 0.2 µg/l and vertical attenuation
coefficient for downward irradiance [kd, i.e., light attenuation] less than or equal to 0.13 per
meter; for all sites in FKNMS, dissolved inorganic nitrogen less than or equal to 0.75 micromolar
and total phosphorus less than or equal to 0.2 micromolar.)
The project will help to meet these objectives by improving water quality within the manmade canal
systems of the Florida Keys and reducing the loads of nutrients and other pollutants that are discharged
from the canals to adjacent nearshore and coastal waters.
5
(iv)Tracking Outputs and Outcomes-The CMMP will establish an adaptive management process,
which will identify the specific programmatic steps that will be taken by the WQPP Steering Committee
and the Canals Subcommittee to periodically assess the effectiveness of their canal management actions,
measure progress toward goals, and(when necessary)redirect efforts in more productive directions.

The work to be accomplished under this Agreement is for development of a Phase I Canal Management Master Plan
(CMMP).
This work under this Agreement includes identification of the highest-priority canals for potential implementation of
restoration options and development of an initial short-list of restoration projects. For each site on the short-list of
canal restoration projects implementation options will be developed, a detailed scope of work and budget will be
prepared, and potential funding sources identified. The final deliverable will be an Initial Canal Management
Master Plan document.
Justification Statement: This project is needed to develop cost-effective and feasible strategies to improve water
quality in artificial canals in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS). Many of these canals do not
meet the State's minimum water quality criteria and are a potential source of nutrients and other contaminants to
near shore waters designated as Outstanding Florida Waters and subject to special protection under the Florida
Statutes. This project is a priority of the FKNMS Water Quality Protection Program(WQPP)Steering Committee
which recently passed a motion to develop a plan to prioritize canal restoration projects and to identify funding
sources for these projects. The tourism economy of the Keys depends largely on clean water and a healthy
environment and this project is fully supported by the WQPP Steering Committee and local governments in Monroe
County. The successful implementation of this project is also consistent with the goals of the Florida Keys
Reasonable Assurance Document that was recently adopted by the Department in order to satisfy the requirements
of the/Im aired Waters Rule Chanter 62 303 of the Florida Administrative Code.
Project Description: "" °

state and federal agencies,searches of online databases,and other sources.These reports will be disseminated to the
appropriate members of the subcontractor's (AMEC) project team for review, based on the subject material and
team members' areas of expertise.
Deliverable: A list of reports and publications that were reviewed. The list of reports and publications shall include
a review of the current state of the science related to water quality restoration within impaired manmade canal
systems. Emphasis shall be placed on coastal Florida systems where possible. The report shall identify best
management practices that have been used successfully elsewhere to improve water quality in artificial canals and
basins.
Budget: $3,000 Contractual Services

Completion Date: May 1,2012
Task Q: Objectives Statement will be developed for the management plan. An example of the form the
objectives statement may take(borrowed from the existing wastewater master plan),is. The objective of the CMMP
is to provide an ecologically sound and economically feasible implementation strategy for improving and managing
the environmental quality of canal systems in the Florida Keys. The plan will provide flexible and cost-effective
solutions that improve canal management practices throughout the Keys and satisfy the existing and future needs of
the community. It must address affordability and equity issues, reflect key stakeholder concerns, and satisfy
environmental and regulatory criteria and guidelines,
Deliverable: A report of the process used to develop the initial Objectives Statement for the canal management
plan shall include an account of the process used to prepare the objectives statement.
Budget: $2,246.60

Task2: IDENTIFY AND RANK PRIORITY MANAGEMENT ISSUES FOR RESIDENTIAL CANALS
An initial prioritized list of the canal management and restoration issues that will be addressed in the CMMP will be
developed. This will build upon the work that has already been done identifying a 'Hot Spot' list of water quality
problem areas. Based on initial reviews of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, the Florida Keys Reasonable
Assurance Documents (FKRADs), Monroe County Sanitary Wastewater Master Plan, Monroe County Stormwater
Management Master Plan, and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Revised Management Plan, and other
sources,some possibilities include:
• Water quality-nutrient loading,nutrient enrichment and eutrophication
• Water quality -dissolved oxygen/hypoxia
• Water quality-organic matter(e.g.,weed wrack)
DEP Agreement S0607,Attachment A,Page 2 of 6
• Water quality—human pathogen levels
• Water quality—compliance with regulatory requirements(e.g., WQ criteria; WBID impairments;
TMDL/Reasonable Assurance process;NNC when adopted)
• Sediment quality—anoxia;sulphides;sediment contaminants(TEUPEL exceedances)
• Habitat quality—benthic community; intertidal community;shoreline stability and vegetation
• Physical characteristics—maximum depth;bathymetry;geometry;orientation
• Physical characteristics—circulation and flushing
• Physical characteristics—effects on local hydrology
• Public involvement in the canal management process
Because of the short timeline associated with this phase of the project(which must be completed by June 30,2012),
it is anticipated that this issues list will be a preliminary one. The objective of this task will be to provide an initial
list of the highest-priority canal management and restoration issues,which will be sufficient to guide work on Tasks
3, 41 and 5 (below), It is anticipated that a more comprehensive priorities list, appropriate for inclusion in a Keys-
wide master plan, will be developed in a future phase of the project, if funding is available to support that work
effort. In order to meet the June 30,2012,deadline for completion of Tasks 4 and 5,we assume that work on Task 2
will be conducted expeditiously,in a brief series of Subcommittee meetings,and completed in April 2012.
Deliverable: A report describing the decision making process used to develop the ranked list of priority issues. The
report shall include a ranked list of priority management issues that will guide the work in Tasks 3,4 and 5(below).
Budget: $14,143.00
Performance Measure: The Department's Grant Manager will review the deliverables and determine if they
are acceptable using the following criteria:
The report will be reviewed to ensure the following criteria has been met:
o Includes a detailed description of the decision making process used to develop the ranked list of
priority issues.
a Includes a ranked list of priority management issues that will guide the work in Tasks 3,4 and 5
Financial Consequences: Failure to meet the above performance measure will result in rejection of the request for
reimbursement.
Completion Date: May 1,2012
I 'Task 3: ESTABLISH CONSENSUS-BASED MANAGEMENT GOALS FOR EACH PRIORITY ISSUE
Ideally,the goals should be quantitative, living-resource based(when possible),readily measurable,and challenging
but achievable. As with Task 2,because of the short timeline associated with Phase 1,we anticipate that this list of
management goals will be a preliminary one. The objective of this task will be to provide initial goal statements for
the highest-priority canal management and restoration issues identified in Task 2, sufficient to guide work on Tasks
4 and 5(below). More comprehensive goal statements,appropriate for inclusion in a Keys-wide master plan,will be
developed in a future phase of the project, if funding becomes available. In order to meet the June 30, 2012,
deadline for completion of Tasks 4 and 5, we assume that work on Task 3 will be conducted expeditiously and
completed by mid-May,2012.
Deliverable: A report detailing the process used to develop the management goals for each priority issue. The
memorandum shalt include the specific goal(s)established for each of the management issues.
Budget: $3,632.60 Contractual Services
Performance Measure: The Department's Grant Manager will review the deliverables and determine if they

AGENDA ITEM WORDING:The Climate Change Advisory Committee(CCAC)requests approval
and direction from BOCC to use the"A Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida," as
developed by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact which the Monroe County BOCC
joined as a member per Resolution 022-2010 on January 20,2010,for the purpose of accomplishing
the committee's stated goakof recommending mitigation and adaptation polices to address climate
change,
ITEM BACKGROUND- The CCAC is charged with making recommendations to the BOCC
regarding appropriate polices needed to address climate change. There are several projections for sea
level rise being used across the nation. The CCAC is requesting that the BOCC direct them to use the
sea level rise projections in. the April 2011 white paper, "A Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for
Southeast Florida". This document was adopted by the Compact's steering cornttuttee and approved
for distribution to their Regional Working Groups for use in developing the SE Florida Regional
Climate Change.Action flan.
These projections were voted by the CCAC members to be the sea level rise projections which provide
reasonable expectations for the region and which should be used in their planning and future
recommendations to the BOCC. The projection uses Rey West tidal data from. 1913-1999 as
foundation documentation and projects two key planning horizons. 2030 Sea Level rise(SLR)to be 3-
7 inches and 2060 SLR projected to be 9-24 inches. The entire document is attached, a list of the
developers of the projections is found on pages 25 and 26.

AWni5ed Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida
Executive ��Summary
Southeast Florida with its Populous coastal counties, subtropical environment, porous geology and low
topography is particularly vulnerable to the effects o[climate change, especially sea level rise.�~ At the
October JB, Z0O9Leadersh Summit, the local diversity in
sea level rise (SLR) projections was highlighted as a concern and a barrier to achieving regionally
consistent adaptation policies and to demonstrating a coordinated local effort to higher
political levels.
Following the summit,the four counties of Southeast Florida (Monroe,Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm
Beach) entered into the SE FL Regional Climate Change y � �� to work cooperatively to
address
climate concerns in the region. As expressed by the SG FL Compact Steering Committee, the Climate
Compact Counties recognized the critical need to unify the existing local SLR projections to create a
single regional SLR projection. Key participants in developing the existing projections and other local
scientists specializing in the areas of sea level rise and climate change were invited to participate as the
Regional Climate Change Compact Technical Ad hoc Work Group (Work Group). Their objectvewas to
work toward dae|opingauni�ed SLR pn4e#ionfor the SE Florida region for use by the SE --Regk»nal
Climate Compact Counties and partners for planning purposes to aid potential
|n understanding-
vulnerabilities and to provide a basis for oudininQadaptation�rateR�sfor the SE FL eg�—
n.
Thrmugh a sehes of facilitated discussions, the Work Group reviewed the existing projections and the
current scientific literature related to SLR with particular emphasis on the impact ofaccelerating ice
melt on projections. The Work Group recommends that the SLR projection tobeused for planning
purposes in the S5FL region be based on the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers(USACE)July 2o09 Guidance
Document until more definitive information on future SLR is available. The projection uses Key West
tidal data from 1913-1999 as the foundation of the calculation and references the year 2010 as the
starting date of the projection. Two key planning horizons are highlighted: 2030 when SLR is projected
¢obe3-7inches and JO6O when SLR is projected tube9'24 inches(Figure E-1). Sea level b projected to
rise one foot from the 2O1D level between 204O and 2O70\ but a two foot rise is possible by2868 The
historic tidal data for the past few decades is illustrated on the unified projection graphic to ~vide
penapec¢�ean the pm4e�edrate of change of sea level. The hl�oricrate extrapolated into the provide
perspective
shown for comparison to the projected sea level rise curves but is not intended as a /o—~' �lower-limitprojection. Due to the rapidly changing body of scientific literature on this bzp� the Work ~Group
recommends that the projection should be reviewed and possibly revised four years from final |

even if mitigation efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (8HG) emissions are successful at stabilizing or
reducing atmospheric GHGconcentrations. A substantial increase in sea level rise within this century is
likely and may occur in rapid pulses rather than gradually. However,precisely predicting future d|mete

limitations of existing computer models and the inability to forecast the scope of human response in the
near or long-range future to the need to limit greenhouse gas emissions and levels. Because of these
limitations,a scientific narrative for beyond 2060 is provided to lend perspective on the potential for SLR
toward the end of the century. Section E on "Sea Level Rise Projections Beyond 2060" describes (1)
current global projections for the end of the century and(2)leading indicators and reinforcing feedback
mechanisms of sea level rise, including continued emission of greenhouse gases, the impact of warm

projection uses historic tidal Information from Key West and was calculated by Kristopher Esterson from the
United States Army Corps of Engineers using USACE Guidance(USACE 2009)intermediate and high curves to
represent the lower and upper bound for projected sea level rise in Southeast Florida. Sea level measured in
Key West over the past several decades is shown.The rate of sea level rise from Key West over the period of
1913 to 1999 is extrapolated to show how the historic rate compares to projected rates.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The recommended projection provides guidance for the Compact Counties and their partners to initiate
planning to address the potential impacts of SLR on the region. The shorter term planning horizons
(through 2060) are critical to develop the SE FL Regional Climate Change Action Plan, to optimize the
remaining economic life of existing infrastructure and to begin to consider adaptation strategies. As
scientists develop a better understanding of the factors and reinforcing feedback mechanisms impacting
sea level rise, SE FL community will need to adjust and adapt to the changing projections. Strategic
longer term (beyond 2060) policy discussions will be needed to include development of guidelines for

A. U Local governments in Southeast Florida recognize that the region, with its Populous
coastal
counties,subtnouical environment,porous geology and low topography,b pm���u�dV vulnerable change, especially sea level rise. Several advisorygmups
have been formed to make
recommendations on mitigating greenhouse gases and other measures for adapting mothe inevitable
effects of climate change. While the 2087 report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (lPCC 2007) proved to be a valuable source for the gate of climate science for these
advisory groups' the report warned that the sea level rise projections did not incorporate the
contribution of land-based melting ice and therefore were probably low. Subsequent estimates that
include the melting of grounded ice sheets confinnthat the|POC estimates are low and allow ustomake
more realistic projections (Horton et al 2008,Grinsted eta|20O9, Pfeffer et a| 3008, Sidda||et a| 2009,
Vermeer and Rahmstorf 20O9, and ]e*rejevaeta| 2010). Between 3008and 2009 several entities
developed SLR pn�ectionsfor the Southeast Florida (SE FL) area to incorporatethm ` -^growing scientific
evidence of accelerated melting of glaciers and ice sheets climate s and to guide local |i
effo�s(Tab|e1). change planning
At the October 23 2008 Southeast Florida ISE FL) Re ional Climate 1-4--p the local
diversity in sea level rise projections was highlighted as a concern and a barrier to achieving regionally
consistent adaptation policies. Following the summit, the four county commissions of the region
(Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach)signed the SE FL Regional Climate Change�;�act to
work together to address regional climate change Issues, The SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact
Steering Committee (Steering Committee), comprised of representatives of the four Climate Compact
Counties and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), recognized the critical need to
un1fV the existing SE FL SLR projections creating a single sea level rise projection to use for regional
planning purposes and to more effectively influence supportive policies at the state and federal levels.
Key participants in developing the existing projections and other local scientists knowledgeable about
le
vel eue/ rise and climate change were invited to participate on a Technical Ad hoc Work Group (Work
Group) to Jointly develop a unified sea level rise projection for use by the SE FL Regional Climate
Compact Counties and partners. Work Group participants included representatives of the K«� +uaoe

to about 50 feet(15m)above current levels(see Figure 1).

recent assessments over the period 1993 to 2809 find a rate of 3.1 t 0.7 m m'/vr (12'2 ± 2.7

time frame 199g-2OQ7(Merrifield ota|IOO9). therefore/t can x concluded that the rate of sea level
rise has been increasing over the past 80 years. A rate that increases over time is a positive
acceleration. The magnitude of this acceleration is one of the fundamental drivers that will determine
the future rates and heights of sea level.
B.4 Acceleration of sea level rise
Contemporary SLR projections are based on (%) global and local sea level measurements which
document an accelerating rate of sea level rise,(2)the preponderance of scientific evidence that recent
land-based ice loss is increasing and(3)global climate models that conclude the rate of sea level rise will
continue to accelerate. This is a critical point in developing projections that vary from the measured
historical rate of sea level rise. Determining an accurate acceleration rate is dependent upon the spatial
and temporal variability of the ocean, long term records, and precise observational sampling and
accuracies.
The most comprehensive review of global accelerations was provided bV Woodworth eta|(JUD9)noting
that analyses ofaccelerations over the late 19w and 20thcenturieo by several authors are in general
agreement. An analysis spanning the period from 1070through 2004found e small positive Q|oba|k,
averaged acceleration(Church and White 2008). More recent studies by Merrifield eta|(2OQU)over the
period 1955'2007 found a Positive acceleration since the late 1970's, and analysis of Greenland and
Antarctic ice loss from GRACE satellite data over the period 20)3-2OO8 allowed Ve|ico0na (2009) to
estimate a global acceleration. Results of these analyses are shown in Table J Consistent with the
foregoing observation of an increase in the rate of sea level rise since the mid ' Ocentury,centu� Table 2
shows an increase in acceleration in more recent periods.
Woodworth at a| (2009) noted that climate phenomenon occurring in one part of the globe influence
other parts of the globe. These so called "te|econnections~ have a significant impact on the reported
differences in acceleration rates and influence a variety of parameters from ocean temperature to
atmospheric pressures and circulation patterns. This type ofnatural multi-decada| climate variability
can complicate the analysis of short and long term trends in climate data and contributes to the

C. Planning Projections Through 2060
C.1 Unifying Existing Local Projections
The development of the unified SE FL SLR projection for regional planning purposes was process
requiring facilitated discussions over several meetings. At the first meeting of the Work Group,the pre-
workshop survey results were reviewed,focusing on the need for and application of,a unified SE FL SLR
projection. Each o/ the existing local SLR projections was introduced revealing the method for
development and the literature upon which it was based. After defining the key characteristics of a SLR
projection,the Work Group Identified points of agreement related to existing projections and discussed
planning horizons.The participants then worked toward a projected SLR range for 2030 and 2O6D. The
group recommended additional discussion on the 2100 planning horizon, and recommended that the
final projection be reviewed, and possibly revised, four years from final approval of this document hy
the SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact Steering Committee and after the release of IPCC ARS.
After thorough review and debate, the Work Group Members agreed that the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Guidance Document curves(USACE 2009) offered a reasonable and defensible projection to
use in the 2090and 2060t|me frames (Figure 2). The Work Group agreed that the curves should be
illustrated through 2060, with the historical tidal data and extrapolation of the historical SLR rate to
provide perspective. Based on the unified projection,Compact Counties must consider that sea level is
projected to rise one foot from the 2010 level sometime between 2040 and 2070, but with a two foot
rise possible by 2060. Table 3 shows the projected change in the rate of rise of sea level by decade,
illustrating the acceleration of the rate with time. The average rate of rise of sea level at the Key West
tidal station from lQ13-2999 was O.88inches/decade. ByJ060,sea level is projected tobe rising bytwo
to six inches per decade.

considered in every USACE coastal activity as far inland as the extent of estimated tidal influence.
The USACE sea level change projection methodology is summarized in
211` and was derived from Responding to Changes /nSea Level. Engineering Implications (National
Research Council 1987). The E[contains the following changes from the N0C(1907)projections:
1.)Changes in the formula to allow the user to select a specific origin year(allows flexibility to
start the projection ona given year).
2.)The E[ uses only two out of the three original NRCcurveo. MNCcurve U| (highest rate) and
curve I(lowest rate)are retained while curve 11,an Intermediate rate,Is dropped. The ECadded
a new projection, continuation of historic rate, to form the lowest of their three pnojections
(The unified S2FL SLR pn�ectiond�eofrom the ECpn��tionby using the lowest and highest
-~
rates to form the projected curve and includes the historic rate for comparison purposes onky.)
3.) Changes /n the formula to aUm* the user to specify the historic relative sea level rise rate
appropriate for the user's area of interest. In the NRCs (1887) original work, the rate of sea
level rise was fixed at1.4mm/year(.O5Sinches/ear).
C-2,1 Projection Format
U5ACE considers the entire range of possible future rates mf sea-level change for planning studies and
engineering designs. The E[ is built onthe assumption that the range ofpossible future rates of sea
level rise is bracketed by the historic and upper rate projections.
Upper-The upper rate projection assumes that in addition to the historic rate of sea level rise,
there isa major acceleration|n the rate over the 21stcentury. This high rate exceeds the upper
bounds of |P[[ estimates from both 2001 and 2007, which many scientists agree did not
adequately address the Potential rapid loss of ice from Antarctica and Greenland.
jgWff-The lower rate projection assumes that in addition to the historic rate of sea level rise,
there isa moderate acceleration in the rate over the next century. The lower projection im not a
to most probable" projection. |n fact, the projections are not probabilistic in nature and are all
assumed tmbeplausible.
Historic-The historic projection uses locally derived historic rate of sea level rise (Key West
1913-1999) that is extrapolated into the future without any change in the existing rate of sea
level rise. For the purposes of the SE FL Compact,the historical rate is used only as a reference
and ia not intended to indicate a likely lower bound.

scientific understanding and the potential issues which must be considered when looking
toward the end of the 2l*century and beyond.
d. The unified SE FL sea level rise projection will need to be reviewed as the scientific
understanding of ice melt dynamics improves.The projection should be revised within four
years of final approval of this document by the SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact
Steering Committee. This timing is consistent with the release ofIntergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report which will provide a synthesis of the major
findings in climate science todate.
e' Users of the projection should be aware that at any point of time, sea level rise is a
continuing trend and not anendpoint.
[ The acceleration of sea level rise can be slowed and the magnitude educed by actions to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Substantial reduction in sustained long term emissions
will result inareduction in the cost ofadaptation.
E. Sea Level Rise Projections Beyond 2060
In general,SLR projections are presented as a range of values to capture natural variability,the potential
impacts and uncertainty of human actions/inaction on climate change as well as to represent the
emerging progression of natural processes contributing to sea lexq| rise. Climate mitigation of
greenhouse gases has yet to start in a globally concerted and meanin�u| m/�y. Current and6¢ure
mnitigationmf greenhouse gases through poUcVaction� behavioral and cubu,a|change and reduction of
the burning Of fossil fuels will alter the impacts of climate change. In addition, the emerging
understanding of reinforcing climate-change feedback loops will influence scientific monitoring, climate
modeling and predictive tools into the future. The questions remain about how soon significant sea
level rise will become disruptive to Southeast Florida communities,and how much faster might sea level
be expected to rise toward the end of this century. This section describes(1)current global projections
for the end of the century and (2) emerging science on leading indicators and reinforcing feedback
mechanisms.

to physical and climatic parameters and reinforcing feedback mechanisms which could contribute to
accelerated sea level rise. Amore extensive coverage ofmetrics that can give advance warning of
climate-related changes has been developed by the National Research Council(2010).
E^2^1 Continuing and persistent greenhouse gas emissions
The earth's climate system has an inherent buffering capacity that helps maintain relative atmospheric
stability over long periods oftime. Current greenhouse gases concentrations are beyond historic levels
preventing us from using past records to predict the outcome of the substantial inertia in the earth's
climate system caused hy greenhouse gases, such as carbon d|oxide ([OA with long residence t|mmey
Carbon dioxide concentrations|nK8aohJO11(3B2ppm,NO/��Ee�h�otem Research Labom¢ory2O�1~
are 110ppm higher than the pre-industrial maximums' The equilibrium temperatures in the past

E.2.2 Increasing concentrations of water vapor '
Water vapor increases the greenhouse effect and a warmer atmosphere will hold more water. The
Earth's atmosphere continues to warm with a 2-10*F(1-1-6.4*C)increase in average global temperature
predicted by the end of the century(!P[Z2OO7). For each degree[of global wanning,the atmosphere
can hold an additional 7.5%of water vapor(HorvAbh and SodenI0]0). Growing concentrations ofwater
vapor will result in a I% increase In global precipitation (Held and Soden JOOG) The current w/armer
atmosphere has nearly 596 more water vapor compared to pre-industrial levels.

�2.3 Changes in Cloudiness
Clouds provide important regulators of the energy flow at the top of the atmosphere. On the one hand,
clouds reflect sunlight back to space which has a cooling effect on the planet,while on the other hand
clouds absorb infrared radiation which has a warming effect. As the climate warms from increasing
greenhouse gases,clouds will also change. Current model projections indicate that the changes|mcloud
properties act to amplify the initial xvanninQ from increases greenhouse gases (Soden and Held 2006),
although the magnitude of this amplification varies substantially from model to model. Comparisons
with observations (Bony and Oufresne2DOS, Clement et al 20[0) suggest that the observed amplifying
effects of clouds are as strong or possibly stronger the current model predictions. This suggests that the
surface warming for any given emission scenario will be closer to the upper end of the model
projections. To the extent that sea level rise is directly correlated tm surface warming; the changes in
cloud properties would also be expected to amplify sea level rise.
LZA Heat storage in oceanic waters
Due to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,the Earth is absorbing more energy than it is emitting back
to space resulting in an energy imbalance. While air temperatures have increased resulting in melting
snow and ice, much of the excess energy has been absorbed as heat In the ocean; raising the oceanic
temperature aswell. The oceanic heat storage is a leading indicator as an additional 1.087(0.6*[) in
average global temperatures will result from this additional heat without further change in the
concentration of greenhouse gases(Hansen et al 2005).Increased global heat storage in the upper 2,000
meters (6000 feet} of ocean was documented during 2003-2008 using data from the ARGQ oceanic
probes(von Schuchmannat a|20O9). The climate system's lag in responding to heat storage implies the
need to anticipate additional temperature shifts and to consider impacts related to ice sheet
disintegration and sea level rise(Hansen eta|2DD5)'
E.2.5 Warm water impact oKk glaciers,pack Ice,and glacial
earthquakes
Since the mid 1990s^ ice sheet melt in Greenland has accelerated as a result of warming atmospheric
conditions(ZmaUyeta|l8O2). Over the past decade,scientists have begun tmfully appreciate that much
of the rapidly accelerating melt an the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets is the result of warmed ocean
water coming from the north and the south. A layer of salty water that was originally observed under
the Arctic Ocean pack ice in the 1890s(as documented by Fhdtjnf Nansen using temperature profiles)
has moved south along the Greenland coast and warmed to39pF(+4«C). |n2007,the TAHAtranspolar
ice drift repeated Nansen's experiment and determined that this layer had thickened by 100m(328 feet)
and warmed by an additional O.97 (Gascardet a| 2008). This warmed, salty ocean water has now
moved from the Atlantic and into SermiUh Fjord by way ofthe Irminger current just offshore (Nettles
and Ekstrom ZV1O).
April ZOlI'Transmittal Draft tm the Steering Committee

For the past century and most dramatically since the1980s, the layer of warm salty subsurface North
Atlantic water has been warming, further, thickening and moving northward into the Arctic and along
Greenkand's coasts This warmed subsurface ocean water continues to penetrate the Arctic Ocean
accelerating summer pack ice melt from below and entering fjords, causing rapid melting beneath the
outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet(Holland eta|2008), Accelerated melting has coincided with
warm salty water at the Jakobuhavn Fjord on the west coast of Greenland(Holland eta|2000)and atth
He|heim Glacier into East Gneen|an6^s5emniUk Fjord(Str�neoet a|2O11). e

E~2.9 Planning considerations for 2060 and beyond
The recent observations noted above emphasize the likelihood of accelerated ice melting and SLR ris

Back Cover Figure: A coastal South Florida home is shown under current sea level conditions and
inundated during a seasonal extreme high tide event. Exceptional astronomical tides(approximately 10
Inches above average high tide for the year) such as the one pictured in the lower photo occur
seasonally and can be made more extreme by north and northeasterly winds. In addition,sea level has
risen 4-5 inches since the 1950-60s when many homes were built in coastal South Florida. Annual
inundation events illustrate the potential challenges and risks of future sea level rise to the South Florida
communities and underscore the need to develop appropriate adaptation strategies. The Unified Sea
Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida provides an estimate of the magnitude and timing of sea level
rise through 2060 and a discussion of the risks beyond 2060(photo credit:Paul Krashefski).
