URBAN FLOODING CHALLENGES

slide-10

metroplanning.org @metroplanners

The Issue: urban flooding

slide-11

The Impacts: damage payouts

$907 million in flood relief from 2003 to 2015 62% occurred in Cook County Damages are likely higher

Total flooding damage payments associated with NFIP, IA, and SBA programs per 2010 household by zip code in the Chicago region from 2003 to 2015. Source: CMAP

slide-12
SLIDE 12

The Impacts: vulnerable populations

Below 60% of regional median income by household size AND Greater than regional average non-white population OR Greater than regional average limited- English proficiency population

slide-13
SLIDE 13

metroplanning.org @metroplanners

The Impacts: community capacity

Varying community financial and technical capabilities

– Limited revenue and no dedicated fund for stormwater – Limited staff who may lack expertise

Current approaches often depend on reinvestment in infrastructure and new development Competing community priorities

SLIDE 26

CMAP Planning-level stormwater analysis

LTA experience: communities struggle to address stormwater management issues. Developing planning-level stormwater analysis to reduce flooding damages in the region by:

  • Incorporating stormwater into local and regional plans
  • Engaging land use and transportation professionals

Funding assistance provided by MacArthur Foundation, applied in communities with support by the Cook County Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Planning-level stormwater analysis

Collect data Identify properties at risk Identify past problem areas

  • Flood insurance

claims

  • Village rebate program
  • Results of community
  • utreach
slide-28
SLIDE 28

Planning-level stormwater analysis

Prioritize based on flood risk indicators

  • Vulnerable properties
  • Reported flood claims
  • Impervious cover
  • Soils
  • Historic streams
  • Age of structure

Identify opportunities

Investigating Stormwater Detention Credit Trading

  • StormStore is a name coined by

TNC and MPC for a possible market

  • r exchange for stormwater credits
  • Funding assistance provided

by Grand Victoria Foundation

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Investigating Stormwater Detention Credit Trading

  • Potential Benefits:

– Opportunities for range of new collaborations across sectors – Enable more optimal siting of stormwater improvements – Re-use marginal land – Make infill and Transit-oriented Development less expensive – Reduce development costs

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Investigating Stormwater Detention Credit Trading

  • Three components of

the feasibility study:

– Policy Analysis – Real Estate Demand Analysis – Land and Hydrological Analysis “Opportunities Map”
