The cost of the study is$40,000 and would be complete in December 2018. Council Lady Henley advised Virginia Tech will waive$15,000, the Nature Conservatory will donate$10,000 and the Agriculture Department could possibly cover the remaining amount. October 9, 2018 Conserving Urban Forests to Reduce Flooding Daniel McLaughlin, Dept. of Forest Resources and Environmental Conservation, Virginia Tech Brian van Eerden, Virginia Pinelands Program, The Nature Conservancy Introduction: Conservation and restoration(i.e., afforestation)of urban forests are potentially significant tools for local and landscape-scale planning aimed at reducing flood risk. Here, we address two key ways that forest provide flood risk reduction, specifically by: a) decreasing stormwater runoff through rainfall interception and enhanced soil infiltration; and b) increasing flood storage via"pumping" large volumes of water from the ground into the atmosphere in a process called evapotranspiration (ET). A better understanding of these functions and their drivers will inform planning and conservation strategies for urban flood mitigation. Forests comprise roughly 38%of VA Beach's land area and, as the City confronts the challenges of increased coastal flooding, it is wise to evaluate all possible solutions to reduce flood risk— engineering approaches as well as strategies that conserve and restore flood management services provided by forests and other"green infrastructure". Forest canopies and soils intercept and infiltrate water, increasing groundwater recharge and decreasing surface runoff. At the same time, water pumping(via ET) from forest canopies is a powerful force that can be harnessed to increase soil storage for flood waters, calling for a better understanding of urban forest ET and its drivers. Considering both flood reduction functions,there is a need for informed planning strategies that prioritize locations for both forest conservation and new afforestation efforts based on forest structure and composition, soil conditions, and landscape position(e.g., adjacency to urban areas, water movement and storage features). Towards that end, our ongoing work in the southeastern coastal plain documents key controls (tree leaf area, depth to water table, soil type) on forest rainfall interception and ET rates, and provides important field-based and modeling tools to extend this work to urban settings. Here, we propose to conduct a preliminary assessment of forest conservation and restoration scenarios in the City of VA Beach with the aim of flood risk reduction. The project will involve three elements: 1)build a conceptual overview of forest infiltration and ET and their role in the landscape context of Hampton Roads; 2) apply this framework to conduct a specific analysis of VA Beach's forests, including forest conditions, soil cover, landscape position, and ultimately flood reduction potential; and 3) identify additional parcel-level analyses and different strategies to conserve and restore the highest priority forest blocks for flood risk reduction. Element 1: Provide conceptual overview of forest interception, infiltration and ET. • Explain: 1)how forest rainfall interception and infiltration decrease surface runoff, and 2) how ET subsequently decreases soil moisture and groundwater levels, increasing flood storage. Compare the magnitudes of these processes under forest cover vs. other land uses (developed land). • Describe how forest interception, infiltration, and ET vary with soil types, landscape settings, and forest type (pine vs. hardwood) and condition (tree density, age). Element 2: Analyze extent and flood reduction potential of VA Beach forest cover. • Using GIS analysis, available spatial data(e.g., soil classes, land cover classes) and new remote sensing data(LiDAR, leaf area), quantify total forest cover, stratified by: — Leaf area index (principal forest attribute for interception and ET potential) — Major soil types (for infiltration potential) — Land cover and upland vs. lowland landforms (for adjacency to flood prone areas) — Topographic relief(for water movement direction and depressional water storage areas) • Conduct scenario analysis of flooding risk for different degrees of forest loss and afforestation. Element 3: Identify additional analyses needed to prioritize most important forest blocks to conserve and restore for flood risk reduction. • Building from Element 2, identify additional data, decision tools, and hydrologic modeling needs to prioritize blocks based on such factors as land ownership and zoning, adjacency of flood prone areas, and water movement and storage potential. • Propose an analytical framework to develop in future work for more spatially explicit quantification of forest flood reduction, including hydrologic models that predict time- varying water storage and transport across specific locations and with various forest cover and conditions. Deliverables: This project will have three deliverables: Element 1: a preliminary report and presentation describing a conceptual model of forests and flood reduction potential,December 30, 2018. Element 2: geospatial data and scenario analysis for flood reduction potential disseminated in tables (locations and area extents), maps, and as a GIS layer,March 30, 2019. Element 3: final report with our conceptual model, results from geospatial analysis, and a proposed analytical framework for further quantification of prioritized forest conservation and restoration,June 30, 2019. Budget: Initial funding is requested to support salary for a postdoctoral researcher(total = $20,000) and D. McLaughlin ($5,000).

Staff will initiate a comprehensive process in mid-November for how wheeled- vehicle shared services may be addressed to ensure resident/visitor safety is at the forefront,while balancing market-demand for shared mobility choices.
