Description:

Abstract:

The Massachusetts Coastal Infrastructure Inventory and Assessment data was developed for Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) by Bourne Consulting Engineering. The data is in ESRI personal geodatabase format and includes coastal structures along the coast of Massachusetts represented by line features with attributes containing details of their condition. The attributes include location, photos and historical permits and drawings. See <http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/stormsmart-coasts/seawall-inventory/> for further information.

Purpose:

DCR seeks to identify the capacity of Massachusetts coastal structures to resist major coastal storms and prevent storm damage. Towards this end, the agency initiated a program to perform an inventory and general condition assessment of Commonwealth owned and/or maintained coastal structures. See <http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/stormsmart-coasts/seawall-inventory/> for further information.

Supplemental_Information:

Note 1. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management made numerous addendums and corrections to the metadata provided by Bourne Consulting Engineering. Note 2. Cross-referenced citations are applicable to the dataset as a whole.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Research was performed at the local, state and federal levels. The local research was limited to location and documenting available coastal structure contract drawings. Research at DCR was restricted to available historic construction plans for coastal structures at the MA-DCR Waterways office in Hingham, MA, and MA-DCR Division of Urban Parks and Recreation in Boston, MA. No investigation of state archives was performed. Research at MA DEP Chapter 91 and USACE was limited to recorded permits and licenses found in their files. No investigation was performed at the Registry of Deeds.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Property Ownership

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

All property ownership was taken as presumed. No legal investigation of ownership was performed during the project. Property ownership is based on town assessor maps. Where structures were located outshore of assessor map defined property lines, it was assumed to be Town land unless other information indicated otherwise. Where structures were located outshore of Mean Low Water, property is assumed to be State owned.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

GPS readings of points were compared to MASSGIS Orthophotos. The GPS readings overlay the MASSGIS Orthophotos by +/- 1 foot. All structure numbers were correlated to corresponding files. Data was queried for widows/orphans - none found.

Completeness_Report:

The study included town and state owned structures as it was assumed that most town owned structures received state funding at some level for construction and/or maintenance. Structures that were determined to be private were not included and undocumented structures considered to be on private land, but having the potential to have been publicly built and/or maintained, were identified as having "unknown ownership".

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

GPS raw field data was post processed using GPS Pathfinder Office. GPS readings +/- 1 foot when compared to MASSGIS Orthophoto.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Not described by contractor. Earlier Coastal Structures Inventory work by Bourne (2007) states: Structure elevations where determined using LIDAR measurement, where available, provided by the South Shore of Massachusetts, Shore Protection Structures.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Structure locations were collected using a Trimble GeoXH GPS. GPS points were recorded on each structure at every 100 feet or when there was a change in direction or corner. All points were recorded on the top outshore edge of the structures. GPS data was post processed using GPS Pathfinder Office.

Attribute_Label: STR_ID

Attribute_Definition:

A unique structure number that was given to each coastal structure. The number was based on an existing numbering systems that include the State Department of Environmental Protection community number followed by the local community assessor's parcel numbering system. The last three digits of the number represents a number assigned to each structure based on denominations of 100, starting at 100 for each structure to allow for multiple structures with the same community, map, block and parcel numbers. Where structures extend over several parcels, the structure is referenced to a parcel that is approximately in the center of the structure. Where Town assessor's references include letters, those are also included within the structure number. Some communities have block numbering within their numbering system and these are included. Communities without block numbering still have the block numbering included but these are illustrated as all zeros for that specific segment. Structures that are on Town property, which would otherwise not have a parcel number, are referenced to a parcel that is in the immediate vicinity of the coastal structure.

Enumerated_Domain_Value: F

Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition:

Critical- Conditions of structure/landform may warrant emergency stabilization as failure may result in potential loss of property and/or life. Landform eroded, loss of integrity. Structure exhibits critical levels of deterioration, section loss, cracking, spalling, undermining, and/or scour. Structure provides little or no protection from a major coastal storm. Actions taken to totally reconstruct structure to regain full capacity. Landform stability is severely compromised, rate of erosion/material loss may be increasing, and landform does not provide adequate protection from a major coastal storm. Actions taken to recreate landform to adequate limits for full protection from a major coastal storm.

Attribute_Label: Repair

Attribute_Definition:

A preliminary estimation of construction costs to maintain or repair structures was made based on the preliminary field assessment of the structures. A Repair Cost Matrix was developed based on structure type, condition, height and material and can be seen in Exhibit C. Once each structure's type, height, and material classifications were determined, the cost per foot for the structure was determine from the Repair Cost Matrix and multiplied by the length of the structure to obtain the estimated repair/restoration cost. The cost matrix repair costs include a 20 percent construction cost contingency as well as 10 percent costs for engineering and permitting.
