Planning: Sea Level Rise Working Group The fourth of the four plans, just underway, is the one dealing with sea level rise, as reported in a previous Pepperell Post. Initiated jointly by the State Planning Office and the Southern Maine Regional Planning Commission (SMRPC), the project is intended to develop and implement regional climate change adaptation strategies in response to rising sea levels. Representatives from Saco, Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford and Scarborough are working together to "...review the recent Coastal Hazard Resiliency Tools Project that has analyzed the problem of sea level rise, and then develop an action plan that will estimate regional vulnerabilities, identify regional objectives to address such vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations for regional solutions." Expert input will be provided to the SLAWG by the Maine Geological Survey, and the SMRPC. Shoreland zoning and floodplain management, infrastructure vulnerable to storm surges and flooding, federal or state beach nourishment efforts, local ordinances, and Saco's ongoing issues with Camp Ellis are among the issues which will be discussed. |
