  1. Texas General Land Office Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan 1st Annual Sustainable Civil Infrastructure Management & Planning Conference

  2. “Millions of Texans live and work along the coast and the time has come to get serious about investing in its protection. By working together, we will directly address ongoing threats to the Texas coast and ensure a safer, more protected region for future generations.” George P. Bush,Commissioner, Texas General Land Office The Year of the Coast

  3. Since 1836 – GLO manages tidally-influenced state-owned submerged lands. • Lead Agency Responsible for: - Coastal Management Program; - Beach and Dune Protection; - State Coastal Erosion Program; - Coastal Oil Spill Response; and - Disaster Recovery Program. The Texas General Land Office and the Texas Coast Source: hoteltravel.com • 367 miles of Gulf shoreline • More than 3,300 miles of bay shoreline • 18 coastal counties (26% of State’s pop.)

  9. 2017 Texas coastal resiliency master plan • Described the value of the coast and its vulnerabilities • Outlined Coastal Issues of Concern • Defined Ecological Resiliency Strategies • Identified Tier 1 (highest priority) nature-based projects for the coast

  10. TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

  11. 2017 Coastal IOCs AND STRATEGIES

  12. McFaddin Beach Restoration

  13. The Need For a 2019 Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan In support of the General Land Office’s legislative authority to restore, enhance and protect the state’s coastal natural resources, the Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan provides a framework for community, socio-economic, ecological and infrastructure protection from coastal hazards.

  14. 2019 Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan Enhancements

  15. Coastal Resiliency Strategies

  16. Community Infrastructure • Objectives: • Identify critical infrastructure at risk (schools, roads/bridges, utilities, water treatment and wastewater treatment, emergency response facilities) • Provide guidance and best management practices • Identify proposed projects • Incorporate natural or “green” components to build “multiple lines of defense”

  17. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  18. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  19. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  20. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  21. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  22. Multiple Lines of Defense Example

  23. INTEGRATED INFRASTRUCTURE Example

  24. CRITICAL FACILITIES AT RISK DUE TO SEA LEVEL RISE Critical Facilities at Risk of Inundation • 1 Fire Department • 3 Law Enforcement Facilities • 2 Sewage Treatment Facilities • 6 Wastewater Outfalls • 23.5 miles Evacuation Routes

  25. CRITICAL FACILITIES AT RISK DUE TO Flooding Critical Facilities at Risk of Inundation • 13 Schools • 1 Fire Department • 3 Law Enforcement Facilities • 4 Sewage Treatment Facilities • 8 Wastewater Outfalls • 32.2 miles Evacuation Routes

  26. GAP Analysis

  27. Physical Modeling

  28. Adaptive Management From Williams et al. 2009 • How do we tie adaptive management into the strategies and projects? • How do we connect adaptive management to existing programs or enhance them? • How do we utilize known indicators to support the process?

  29. Next Steps
