for Excellence in Local Government. Hull was chosen to receive this prestigious
award for its outstanding efforts at local management of coastal hazards. As a
StormSmart Coasts pilot community, Hull is working with CZM to improve
management of coastal development to reduce the risk of people and property
from coastal hazards. Specifically, Conservation Agent Anne Herbst played a key
role in the development of an innovative tool to visualize inundation scenarios
due to flood events and sea level rise, using the images to raise public
awareness. Anne was also able to foster the creation of an innovative incentive
program that encourages builders and homeowners to elevate new and renovated
structures above predicted floodwaters. The Excellence in Local Government
Awards are given to local governments that have inspired positive change in the
field of coastal management by developing or implementing principles embodied
by the CZMA. CZM congratulates Hull and thanks Anne for her hard work!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

floodplain overlay district bylaw. The amendments prohibit new residential
development and expansion of existing development in coastal high-hazard flood
zones—those designated as V, VE, or AO zones on the Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). The
revisions to the bylaw will also require that all new development in less
hazardous areas—those designated as A zones on FIRMs—meet design
criteria and performance standards through a special permit process. The
amendments will minimize threats to public health and safety and increase the
town’s capacity to recover after a storm by reducing damage to personal
and public property. CZM thanks the Oak Bluffs team, especially their team
leader and Conservation Commission Agent Elizabeth Durkee, for all of their
hard work to bring these bylaw changes to fruition. For details, see </span><a

Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Department of Conservation and
Recreation (DCR) are inviting communities, state agencies, and tribal
governments and territories to submit applications for the FEMA Hazard
Mitigation Assistance grant programs. It is expected that $10 million will be
available for these competitive grants to assist applicants with hazard
mitigation planning and the implementation of hazard mitigation projects to
reduce or eliminate the loss of life and property due to natural hazards. The
program goals are to reduce overall risks to the population and structures, and
reduce the reliance on taxpayer-funded federal assistance for disaster
recovery. FEMA mitigation grants cannot be used for maintenance, repair, or projects
already in progress. In June and August, MEMA/DCR will hold several grant
program briefings across the state to provide an overview of the programs,
available funding, and relevant applicant processes and deadlines. All
potential applicants are <b>strongly encouraged</b> to attend one of these

Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology, this publication
contains performance data on the ability of stormwater treatment systems to
treat water quality and manage water quantity. This edition also includes outcomes
of the Center’s targeted research into topics such as cold climate
performance of systems and the impact of pavement seal coating on water
quality. The Center is unique in its ability to evaluate the water quality
treatment and water quantity management performance of stormwater systems in a
side-by-side setting. Its research field site is designed to test a range of
systems, from low impact development style approaches to manufactured devices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
