Title:

South Shore Coastal Infrastructure Inventory and Assessment Demonstration Project Coastal Hazards Commission

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

The data set contains information on coastal structures for eight communities in Massachusetts. The communities are Duxbury, Hull, Hingham, Scituate, Plymouth, Kingston, Marshfield and Hingham. The structures were researched, located and inspected between July and October of 2006. The data includes structure location, ownership, type, material, height, length, condition, repair priority, elevation, FEMA Zone and comments made by the inspector. Also included are estimated repair costs. See <http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/stormsmart-coasts/seawall-inventory/> for further information.

Purpose:

Coastal Zone Management sought to identify the capacity of Massachusetts coastal structures to resist major coastal storms and prevent storm damage. In working toward this goal, CZM initiated a program to perform an assessment of Commonwealth owned and/or maintained coastal structures. The first phase of this program was the performance of a demonstration project for coastal structures located on the South Shore. The demonstration project will identify existing structures, their general conditions, ability to provide coastal protection and the probable cost for repairs. The information collected and developed is incorporated into the MassGIS system to allow use for developing a 20 Year Coastal Infrastructure Plan. As this is a demonstration project, it will serve as the basis for development of a statewide inventory and assessment of all Commonwealth coastal structures and the needs for their maintenance and/or repair. Incorporated into this project will be the identification of issues and limitations of the investigation and assessment to achieve the overall goals and what should be included in future investigations/assessments of coastal structures for the other regions.
See <http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/program-areas/stormsmart-coasts/seawall-inventory/> for further information.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The structure numbers are based on the current assessors maps and/or GIS files provided by each town. The year of the oldest structure document was determined by historical permits and/or drawings filed with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the individual towns. These same files where used to assume the ownership of the structures. There is no guarantee the structure ownership is accurate. The structure length is based on the GPS readings taken at the time of the inspection. See horizontal accuracy. The structure height, ratings, urgency and comments were based on the visual inspection by an engineer at the time of the inspection. These variables were used to estimate the repair costs of the structures using estimated costs of materials and labor. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) zone and elevations were determined from Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) maps distributed by the FEMA. The structure elevations where determined from LIDAR measurements where available.

Logical_Consistency_Report: A Logical Consistency report was not created for these data.

Completeness_Report: A Completeness report was not created for these data.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The structures were located using sub-meter Differential GPS. Cloud coverage, satellite availability and reception interference from buildings or trees decrease the accuracy. Data from the GPS was post processed using Trimble Pathfinder Office software and local GPS stations. This created a one sixth of a meter accuracy on average. The GPS points were overlaid on MassGIS Orthophotography to verify accuracy.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Structure elevations were determined using LIDAR measurement, where available, provided by the South Shore of Massachusetts, Shore Protection Structures.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The specific attributes that would be incorporated into the MassGIS system were developed based on the scope of work and the goals to be achieved. The following was established to standardize the data collection and presentation and to allow flexibility for sorting by attributes in the final GIS database. The attributes identified were entered into a MS Access database which was used to manage the data from all eight communities within a single file. The shapefiles were imported into this Personal Geodatabase to maintain integrity and organization of data.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: STRUCTUREN

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.

Attribute_Label: StructureI

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.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: RepairCost

Attribute_Definition:

Estimated costs of repairs to the structure in US dollars. Bulkhead / Seawall Structures, these structures are assumed to be constructed out of concrete, steel, stone or wood with each having its own criteria for establishing costs. For each structure type the following was assumed: Concrete Seawalls - These walls were assumed to be gravity structures with the volume of concrete used based on the bottom width being one-half of the structure height. Costs of construction were based on a per cubic yard estimate that varied from $350 to $630 per cubic yard depending on the structure height. Values for excavation and demolition of existing structure were also included. Stone Seawalls - These walls were treated the same as concrete seawalls and assumed to be gravity structures with the volume of the structure based on the bottom width being one-half of the structure height. Costs of construction were based on a per cubic yard estimate that varied from $350 to $630 per cubic yard depending on the structure height. Values for excavation and demolition of existing structure were also included. Steel Bulkheads - Steel bulkheads were presumed to be constructed with steel sheet piling. Tie back systems were presumed for structures 10 feet or greater in height. Shorter walls were assumed to have a cantilever design. The total depth of sheeting was presumed to be two times the exposed height. The cost for construction varied from $40 per square foot to $60 per square foot plus the cost of excavation and demolition. Timber Bulkheads - Timber bulkheads were presumed to be constructed with timber piles at eight foot on center, horizontal wales and vertical four inch sheathing. The unit costs for installed materials used were $1,500 per pile and $7.50 per bfm. Revetment Structures - Revetment structures were presumed to be constructed of dry placed (no concrete) stone with a two on one slope and a horizontal toe and crown equal to the thickness layer established for each height condition. The total thickness of the revetment layers varied from six to ten feet with the cost of armor and under-layer stone assumed to be $50 per ton and the crushed stone base to be $15 per ton. Groins and Jetties - Groins and jetties were assumed to be the same materials and construction as the revetment structures but would have two sides and therefore double the quantities. Coastal Beaches - Costs for restoration of Coastal beaches presumed the placement of beach renourishment sands at a 1-on-20 slope over the existing beach conditions. The cost for deposition of sand assumed relatively close source of material and utilized $20 per cubic yard for the material installed. Coastal Dunes - Restoration of coastal dunes assumed a cross section of renourished sand with a one-on-four slope on one side of a 25 foot width at the defined dune height. The cost for deposition of sand assumed relatively close source of material and utilized $20 per cubic yard for the material installed. Contingency - A contingency of 20 percent was added to all costs to reflect the unknowns associated with this level of rehabilitation/repair estimating. Engineering and Regulatory Approvals - A ten percent increase to the cost matrix prices was assessed to represent the engineering design and regulatory approval requirements for the restoration of these structures.
