Sherburne County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2020 • Green Infrastructure Methods area sustainable approach to natural landscape preservation and storm water management. Include in a h4ible hazard mOdgatfcoM ar:tivities as well as provide additional ecosystem benefits. Ecosystem -based approach to replicate a site's pre -development, natural hydrologic tunction. Benefits include: Increase water supply, improved water quality, can be scaled to Size and designed to fit site conditions. • Property Acquisition and Structure Demolition or Relocation - The voluntary acquisition of an existing at -risk structure and the underlying land, and conversion of the land to open space through the demolition or mlocation of the structure. The property must he deed -restricted in perpetuity to open space uses: to restore and/or conserve the: natural floodplvin functions. • Retrofit Flood -Prone Residential Structures are changes made to an existing structure to reduce or eliminate the possibility of damage to that structure from Hooding, erosion, or other hazards. Examples of this mitigation are primarily elevation of structures above Hood levels and Hoodwalls. ■ Safe Room Construction - Safe room construction projects are designed to provide immediate ble- safety protection for people in publicand private structures from tornado and severe wind events. Includes retrofits of existing facilities or new safe room construction projects, and applies to both Ongle and dual -use facilities • Minor Localized Flood Reduction Projects - Projects to lessen the frequency or severity of flooding and decrease predicted flood damages. such as the installation or up -siting of culverts, and stormwater management activities, such as creating retention and detention basins. These projects must not duplicate the Hood prevention activities of other Federal agencies and may not constitute a section of a larger flood control system. • Infrastructure Retrofit • Measures to reduce risk to existing utility systems, roads, and bridges. • Soil Stabilization - Projects to reduce risk to structures or infrastructure from erosion and landslides, including installing geotextilm stabilizing sod, installing vegetative buffer strips, preserving mature vegetation, decreasing slope angles, and stabilizing with rip rap and tether means of slope anchoring.' These projects must not duplicate the activities of other Federal agencies. New tools for Bioenginvered Shoreline Stabilization, Bioengirwered Streambank Stabilization. ■ Wildfire Mitigation - Projects to mitigate at -risk structures and associated loss of life from the threat of future wildfire through: Defensible Space for Wildfire, Application of Ignition -resistant Construction and Hazardous Fuels Redaction. New tool lar Bioengineered Wildfire MidgaHon. • HMGP only - 5 Percent Initiative Projects - These project, which are only available pursuant to an HMGP disaster, provide an opportunity to fund mitigation actions that are consistent with the ,goals and objectives of approved mitigation plans and meet all HMGP program requirements, but for which it may he difficult to rnndiit t a standard Benefit -Crest Analysis (BCA) to prove cost-effectiveness.
