<br />Miami-Dade County Back Bay Coastal Storm Risk Management, Miami, FL.
<br />Resiliency specialist. Moffatt & Nichol worked with the County, City, Downtown
<br />Development Authority, private investors, and USACE to review and discuss
<br />resiliency alternatives developed by USACE for the Back Bay Coastal Storm Risk
<br />Management feasibility study for the County. The original resiliency approach
<br />proposed for downtown Miami was an 18-foot-tall conventional floodwall
<br />surrounding most of the downtown waterfront. Moffatt & Nichol developed a
<br />nature-based structural solution with multiple lines of protection that provided
<br />equivalent protection levels while providing environmental benefits, additional
<br />public access, stormwater improvements, water quality upgrades, and maintained
<br />local property values and views. The system consisted of low crested oyster
<br />breakwaters, elevated structural breakwaters planted with mangroves, dedicated
<br />seagrass-wetland protection zones, secondary structural revetment system upland
<br />seat walls, bio-swale stormwater areas, and localized building protection.
<br />Preliminary Design of Resilience Infrastructure, Environmental Impact Bond, City
<br />of Hampton, VA. Resiliency specialist. Green infrastructure and blueway project
<br />concept designs were evaluated to validate achievable stormwater volume capture
<br />in the Newmarket Creek watershed. The projects restore and expand storage,
<br />along with bioretention and wetland creation in adjacent areas, delaying stormwater
<br />discharge into a flood-prone tidal stream. The pilot projects arose from the City’s
<br />Resilient Hampton Newmarket Creek Pilot Project Area Water Plan. The analyses
<br />include green infrastructure, blueway stream improvement, and raising of a critical
<br />transportation corridor—all of which will provide additional volume capture capacity.
<br />The Big Bethel Blueway retrofits backyard drainage ditches and main drainage
<br />channel to store stormwater and create vegetated areas that improve water quality.
<br />Another project at Lake Hampton is to reconstruct an under-performing basin to
<br />absorb stormwater overflow from Newmarket Creek. Stormwater terraces will detail
<br />and treat runoff from surrounding neighborhoods and roads.
<br />Port Miami Shore Power Pilot Study, Miami, FL. Technical lead, emissions
<br />assessment. Moffatt & Nichol is presently engaged with the County and
<br />PortMiami with a pilot study to invest in shore power infrastructure to reduce
<br />emissions associated with hoteling cruise and cargo vessels. Complementing the
<br />engineering assessments, Dr. Cardoch is the technical leader for the greenhouse
<br />gases reduction analysis, along with other air quality constituents, such as NOx,
<br />which are potentially an important source of atmospheric deposition of nitrogen
<br />into Biscayne Bay.

<br />Resiliency & Adaptation | Moffatt & Nichol
<br />Lynette is Moffatt & Nichol’s Director of Resilience & Adaptation, leading
<br />collaborative efforts to deliver comprehensive resiliency solutions and
<br />adaptation services in the coastal zone. She is a coastal ecologist with
<br />more than 25 years of experience in regulatory and water policies, coastal
<br />restoration, and urban and coastal resiliency. With her technical qualifications
<br />and collaborative management style, her assignments include steering
<br />interdisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists, and regulators. She has
<br />also worked closely with coastal utilities and natural resource agencies on
<br />integrated planning and operationalizing resiliency, particularly for coastal
<br />protection, storm surge, and interior flooding.
