Environmental Achievements

• Addition and augmentation of marsh at Heron’s Head Park would significantly improve suitable and preferred habitat for threatened and endangered federally listed and state-listed species

Social Achievements

• The TSP minimizes the need for building demolition, replacement, floodproofing, and relocations throughout the study area in the first construction period.

Governance Achievements

• The Port of San Francisco (POSF) as lead agency for the City and County of San Francisco (City) supports publishing the San Francisco Waterfront Coastal Flood Study Draft IFR/EIS and continuation of their partnership with USACE

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Low-lying assets and economic activity along the San Francisco Waterfront are at risk of flooding from coastal storms, extreme high tides, and sea level rise.
• Potential failure of the century-old San Francisco seawall
• The waterfront is currently at risk of coastal overtopping and damages to property and critical infrastructure because of coastal storms
• HTRW concerns exist in the project area and will require additional investigation and testing prior to construction.
• Lack of staging areas will also be a construction risk for the project

Mitigation Strategies

• Compensatory mitigation is needed for aquatic habitats, water quality, and air quality.
• The TSP utilizes a combination of CFRM and NNBF to reduce risks from coastal flood hazards across the study period.
• The TSP includes adaptive action at Year 50 to refine the feature scales and alignments if coastal flood risk increases and could vary in its ultimate implementation.
• The TSP manages coastal flood risk through a suite of Coastal Flood Risk Management (CFRM) measures that function as a system, based on rising sea levels, and are implemented over time based on the risk of sea level rise.
• The inclusion of NNBF would be beneficial to resident and transient species, including special status species, as it provides new or expanded habitat in an otherwise urbanized area.
