coastal storm risk management, along
with other activities warranting
additional analysis. NACCS draft
analyses were made available to
stakeholders for review and validation
in March 2014. Throughout the study
process several additional opportunities
for stakeholder input were made
available, including a webinar
collaboration series, agency and public
engagements, and a feedback link on the
NACCS Web page. Full NEPA and other
environmental compliance would be
required as part of future detailed
evaluations and/or feasibility studies
before any actions could be
implemented. The final report was
submitted to Congress and all associated
documents and tools are now accessible
on the NACCS Web page at: https://

ACTION: Notice of Report Availability.
AGENCY:
The Congressional response
to the devastation in the wake of
Hurricane Sandy included a mandate to
collaborate with federal, state, tribal and
local government agencies to regionally
address the vulnerability of coastal
populations at risk within the
boundaries of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) North Atlantic
Division. The goals of the North Atlantic
Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS),
authorized under the Disaster Relief
Appropriations Act, Public Law 113–2,
were to: (1) Provide a risk management
framework, consistent with National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration/USACE Infrastructure
Systems Rebuilding Principles; and (2)
support resilient coastal communities
and robust, sustainable coastal
landscape systems, considering future
sea level and climate change scenarios,
to manage risk to vulnerable
populations, property, ecosystems, and
infrastructure. In addition, the NACCS
evaluated institutional and other
barriers to providing comprehensive

Mr.
Justin Ward, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Public Affairs.
The
NACCS recommends the use of a ninestep Coastal Storm Risk Management
Framework, which is customizable for
any coastal watershed and is informed
by several planning tools and models
that are included in the report, among
other resources. To further manage
coastal flood risk, the report also
recommends better institutional
alignment and financing, better use of
pre-storm planning and post-storm
monitoring tools, and better education
on flood risk and the availability of
flood risk management solutions. The
report recognizes the long-term
challenges facing the area, which makes
it clear that integrated solutions that
promote sustainable communities and
ecosystems will be needed. The report
also identifies nine high-risk areas that
warrant additional analysis. They are:
Rhode Island Coastline; Connecticut
Coastline; New York-New Jersey Harbor
and Tributaries; Nassau County Back
Bays, NY; New Jersey Back Bays, NJ;
Delaware Inland Bays and Delaware Bay
Coast, DE; City of Baltimore, MD;
Washington, DC; and City of Norfolk,
VA. The NACCS report represents a
start in the direction of the new
paradigm that accounts for new and
changing conditions—this will need the
attention and commitment of public,
private and commercial interests in
order to succeed.
