Can i make opening statements. Yes. Oh, im sorry yes, please supervisor yee has joined us supervisor yee. Okay colleagues todays hearing is on an issue that effects most of districts of the supervisors that are here today the issue of flooding this year we have experienced heavy rains this has impacted many of the residents in district 7, 8, 9 and 11 and in the neighborhoods district the upper great highway pine Lake Neighborhood and in district 7 the 15 avenue area and Ingleside Terrace neighborhood and just neighborhood in sunny side neighborhood across over to district 8 and 11 the terrace cayuga in district 9 and the folsom area much of the flooding is exasperated by the geography of the neighborhoods ive heard from my residents it dealt with flooding in their homes and felt their frustration because as a Property Owner nothing more frustrating that is that is actually in a low lying flood area we want to thank my colleagues many who are sitting on that committee and joined the hearing today core cosponsor sponsoring that supervisor tang and supervisor fewer and supervisor safai and supervisor ronen i also want to thank the many residents from those effected neighborhoods that have contracted our offices over the years as well as those that are here today and taking time out of your day or work to come today to see how flooding has affected their homes i believe as a city and county our members with can implement short term and long term plans to maintain the flooding in the impacted neighborhoods citywide ive been meeting with the Business School and Public Utilities commission for several months to discuss the short term and long term plans for flooding mitigation and sewer improvements and want to thank the general manager harlan kelly and the project manager stephanie to present those plans id like to have general manager harlan kelly present. Good morning, supervisors just want to take the opportunity to talk about the flooding today as youll see this is a complex topic with a long history were going to provide you with information you requested today with long term and short term strategies that addresses flooding but first id like to set the stage by telling you we understand flooding is a tremendous burden for those residents and businesses that are impacted in the pockets of city where needing occurs it is disruptive to lives and livelihood and we really want help we have looked at every everything we can do from an engineering stand point to minimize flooding i want you to understand with the significant ratepayer dollars invest we plan to make there will always be a storm larger in the same neighborhood that will continue to flood and if we get a bigger storm than our types can say handle we want to make sure our residents and businesses are aware of their flood risks and have the resources at the disposal to take objections e actions to protect their property were developing a suit of options for Property Owners to make the easiest possible to protect their investment this partnering between city and the Property Owners will help everyone to be more prepared for what Mother Nature brings our way i want to pass it over to Stephanie Harrison with the San FranciscoPublic UtilitiesCommission Project manager to present on the progress we made to combat flooding in San Francisco stephanie. Good morning, supervisors and my name is Stephanie Harrison im a project manager for the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission can we get the slide on the screen youve asked for a long term and Short Term Solutions so thats exactly what well cover. Excuse me do you have an extra copy. Can i have one, too . Thank you. Okay so in San Francisco a combined collection with surveillance and flows about the same pipes and conveyed to the treatment flagrant before the epa run off or stormwater the largest former of pollution in the United States when our 12r789 hit the ground running it is loiter and nothing youve seeing on Market Street comes into the inclined system we treat over 95 percent of the water that hit the ground running in San Francisco our pipes are predominantly for stormwater in dry weather their by and when enough rain to fill the piecemeal it is 99 percent stormwater more than 99 percent stormwater mixed with sanctuary sewage that is in the system and the system is full and but with the large capacity in the pipes when the system fills in an intense rain the water cant get if it goes to the lowest lying area needing is 16 minutes a large storm up to an, however, and back into the system when the pathway is available the pipes by out. Ill speak from this mike so stormwater is rain that runs overland and sanctuary sewage is it homes and businesses that is in our pipes during dry weather and combined flow the sewage mixes with the pipes our pipes are sized to manage stormwater so graphic you see this is in the folsom neighborhood the pipes their 96 inch pipes large on the streets and in dry weather 6 hundred and thirty gallons her pin a lot of sanctuary flow but when the pipe is full in assigned storm the system is full the water is a exiting the system out of man holes and pipes there is one and 60 thousand gallons per minute running underneath the neighborhood a value of 2 that the plus percent is from sanctuary flow so just to give a perspective the construction in the 1840s a long time and for the First One Hundred years the system was built without strong guidance were aware of by 1941 the 5 year storm was defined by 1952 there was a requirement in place for new developments to be able to contain the 5 year design storm in the pipes that requirement has retained since can you explain that measure of 5 year storm. Yes. Thats a great question so we have over one hundred years of historical dictated of rainfall in the city that data under goes an analysts to look at the probability of different size storms concurring so really i should be calling this one. 3 inches of rainfall in 3 hours that is what the density and the duration of a large designed storm but so in a long term average over over the course of one hundred plus years it will come on a long term average once every 5 years but didnt come once in 5 years if we have one storm it means on my given year that size will occur so when we talk about youll hear about a 5 year storm this is a our design ill be talking about a one hundred year storm comes one time every one hundred years rolling the dice that is in place over one and 10 years in the first part of record we didnt see flashy storms a really dense storm and the second half of the record we see more like on an average basis 9 of them in a 50year period roughly every 5 years but in the recent years seen more flashy rainfall in a 5 or 15 minute period that yes, maam lasts a one hundred year even though that is i use the terminology loosely from our design that is a 1. 3 inches of rain for the design is our model of progression of rainfall that trails off to represent a natural event. I have one question about when you use the term flooding i want to know the threshold that constitutes the flooding is it quarter of an inch how when do you you designated as flooding. Thats a great question. When we talk about youll see some slides on that talks about just water on the streets and hear me refer to the flood risk and flood risk we clarify as low, memory and high flood risk and varies your flood risk depends on the land use the building types as far as what Property Damage so if you have a High Density Residential with a foot of water that is a highrisk but a parking lot that is like a memoranda to although there are different told her that depends on the land use when i say flooding im talking about eninundation and flows on the streets water not getting into the system but flood risk im talking about were talking about usually high and high flood risk yeah. I think it is important you explained the 5 year storm thats fine over 3 time period of one point whatever inch of rainy think that is important to explain not public that you could have a 5 year risk or a flood situation within 15 minutes so when that happens quam at a rate of constant rain divided into 3 hours or almost like having if you were to use that number the ever 15 minutes the rain that came down if you extend to 3 hours during the 15 minutes could be like 10 inches of rain what do you mean. I dont have that calculation off the top of my head the rainfall has a curve associated that represents an storm so it starts off and then the rain peaks and then aside that has the 10 has that shape and one hundred years has a peak 5 minute density or peak 15 minutes density that is 10sh9d with one hundred storm so we could get a storm a one hundred storm in a 15 minute duration that is rains cats and dogs and coordinates to the 15 minute most dense period in a one hundred year storm that is a one hundred year storm even over a 10 minute duration that peaks suddenly and stops and over the duration was not as much rain does that answer your question . I want to make sure we are clear not only about the 3 hours because that is what happened in the flooding it was a short duration where the rain poured and overtook our system. Right when we dine is the pipes we have a dynamic model that looks at the storm for a 3 hour storm including the 3 hour peak if we get the one hundred storm peak flows even if for a short duration our pipes cant accommodate all of that water. Okay. So most recently in the recent last decade or so sfpuc has initiated our Sewer Improvement Program as part of the progress we looked at what well be providing at the level of service from a historically and moving forward and the 5 year storm is endorsed if 2012 and 2016 and most recently conduct a resince study to evaluate the flood protection policy and each representation represents up to providing protection to a one hundred year storm to protection in a 5 year storm we did a benefit cost analysis that showed the 5 year storm is the appropriate service for the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission that is consistent with other services do nationwide seattle and new york and chicago have a 5 year storm as the level of protection in urban areas i want to pause here though and say for those who experienced flooding we recognize a Significant Impact on lives and stressful i we have to balance that with the fact that flood risk impacts less than one percent of San Francisco. Do you have a question. Yeah. If you could walk me through the cost analysis ive seen the numbers and what those numbers mean i think that is important to be clear that so am i seeing 14 billion. Thats a great question. Im surprised you can see the numbers. And individual clarity who pays for that that would be helpful for the different numbers and put them in perspective in terms of what where the money comes from. This graph that is shown in the bottom right of the slide not intended not going to walk you through the whole fink or thing by the way, can the bottom line is that to get the city up to our 5 year storm level of protection were already looking spending 2. 3 billion to get the city fully you will up to that point if we want a higher level of protection to the one hundred year storm will cost 16 billion and all of those dollars theyre not tax dollars they are ratepayer dollars customers residents and businesses paying their sewer bill so any cost that were paying to improve flood protection in the pockets of San Francisco will hit all the rate payers uniformly to do our Infrastructure Project if ive mischaracterized that im not on the finance side so the cost to remedy flooding in large storms are tremendous like 2 billion to get to our 5 year storm and every do
