Newport News Interim Local Resilience Plan
Newport News Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan
CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element
1 Project Based The Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan identifies stream restoration projects. Many of these projects include co-benefits,
such as protecting infrastructure from stream bank erosion and flood control by reconnecting the stream to its floodplain.
2 Nature Based Stream restoration projects use Natural Channel Design techniques to mimic natural stream functions.
8 Regional Coordination & The plan includes three phases to achieve Bay TMDL pollutant reduction targets through 2028.
Schedule
9 Best Science & Mapping Compliance is demonstrated through design specifications and calculations approved by the Department of Environmental
Quality and the Chesapeake Bay Program Expert Panel.
The City has developed and implemented a series of Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plans aimed at minimizing the pollutants of concern discharging into the
Chesapeake Bay. While the Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plans are predominantly water quality-based, the individual projects offer an opportunity to mitigate
drainage and flooding impacts. Projects such as those in the currently applicable 2018 Chesapeake Bay TMDL Action Plan include using 'green' controls to
reduce stormwater pollution while concurrently mitigating flow and velocity. These projects include the completed Stoney Run Stream restoration, the planned
Hampton Channel improvements and constructed wetlands, and the planned Public Works annex retrofit (Table 6-4: First Permit Cycle Planned/Completed Water
Quality Projects Summary).
Newport News Emergency Operations Plan
CFPF Resilience Plan Element Document’s Relationship to CFPF Resilience Plan Element
3 Social Equity The plan addresses mitigation, preparation, and recovery operations for many types of hazardous events citywide,
including flooding.
4 Flooding / Repetitive Loss The Plan addresses mitigation, preparation, and recovery operations for flooding events citywide.
8 Regional Coordination & The plan outlines protocols and procedures for communication and coordination between departments and personnel
Schedule during emergencies.
The Newport News Emergency Operations Plan provides the executive framework for the coordinated response to major emergencies and disasters, including
flooding. The response aims to address the immediate and short-term actions to preserve life, property, environment, and the social, economic, and political
structure of the community. The plan specifically addresses the coordination of response efforts for incidents requiring multi-agency coordination. This plan
allows the City to be prepared and respond quickly and efficiently when disasters, such as large-scale flooding, strike.
