DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1276]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before March 18, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1276, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Analysis Overview
This report shows calculated vessel incident frequencies for the NC PARS study area. This includes the North Carolina Wilmington East and West, and the South Carolina Grand Stand areas. The vessel incident frequencies were calculated using the IALA Waterways Risk Assessment Program (IWRAP) software. Figure 1 shows the relevant areas.

                   Figure 1: Study Area Including Wind Areas
IWRAP Software and Model Overview
IWRAP is a tool that predicts the frequency of vessel collisions, allisions, and groundings (vessel incidents) in a specified geographic area. IWRAP evaluates and estimates the annual number of allisions, collisions, and groundings in a modeled area using Automatic Identification System (AIS)-derived vessel traffic data. The specific breakdown and definitions of types of incidents that IWRAP evaluates are detailed in Table 1.
                                 Incident Type
                                  Definition
                               Powered Grounding
Powered groundings occur when a vessel fails to maneuver to avoid shallow water or shoals and strikes the ocean floor while under power.
                              Drifting Grounding
Drifting groundings occur when a vessel is no longer under the control of the mariner or has lost power and the vessel strikes the ocean floor.
                               Powered Allision
Powered allisions occur when a vessel fails to maneuver to avoid a structure or stationary object and strikes that object. Such objects include bridges or wind turbines.
                               Drifting Allision
Drifting allisions occur when a vessel is no longer under the control of the mariner or has lost power and strikes a structure or stationary object. Such objects include bridges or wind turbines.
                             Overtaking Collision
Overtaking collisions take place when two vessels are on the same leg moving the same direction.

                               Head-On Collision
Head on collisions take place when two vessels are on the same leg moving in reciprocal directions.

                              Crossing Collision
Crossing collisions take place when two legs cross at a waypoint.

                                 Incident Type
                                  Definition
                               Merging Collision
Merging collisions take place when several legs merge at a waypoint.

                                Bend Collision
Bend collisions take place when ships on the same leg make a turn at a waypoint.

                     Table 1: IWRAP Vessel Incident Types
Model Inputs
Model inputs include the data required by IWRAP in order to calculate probabilities of vessel incidents. The inputs include AIS data, bathymetry, and structures.
AIS Data
For this analysis, the AIS data set is all AIS equipped vessel traffic in the study area in calendar year 2019. Figure 1 shows this area.
Bathymetry
Bathymetry comes from ENC data (encdirect.noaa.gov) and is uploaded directly into IWRAP.
Model Structures
Structures are modeled by creating a georeferenced representation of size and shape, and are uploaded directly to the software. The structures used in this analysis were created by NAVCEN in ArcGIS Pro, assuming fully developed wind areas, as monopile wind turbine generators with twelve-meter diameter bases. The turbines were spaced evenly in a one nautical mile grid pattern.
Algorithm
Given the model inputs, the fundamental calculation used by IWRAP is:
      Incident Frequency = Geometric Frequency x Causation Factor
Geometric Frequency
Geometric Frequency is the number of incident candidates that exist in an AIS data set. After an AIS data set is uploaded, a color-coded line density plot is used to visually identify the most frequented routes. A network is then developed by an analyst who assigns legs connected by waypoints to the highest density routes based on a visual evaluation. IWRAP then assigns statistical distributions of vessel traffic to legs and waypoints based on the AIS data. The distributions are used to determine the total number of opportunities for a collision to take place.
Causation Factor
The Causation Factor is a thinning probability applied to the geometric incident candidates. In other words, the causation factor allows IWRAP to determine how many of the candidates for collisions, allision, or grounding actually had an incident occur. The causation factor accounts for the tendency of vessels to avoid other vessels, structures, and grounding. A set of universally applicable causation factors, based on Bayesian statistics and rooted in studies of past incidents, was developed by International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) in cooperation with the academic community. These values are the default for the IWRAP incident frequency calculations and were not modified from the default for this report.
Outputs
The resulting incident frequencies that are derived from the model are reported for each incident type described in Table 1 with the units years between incidents. These values represent the probabilities a certain type of incident will take place in any given year assuming the traffic makeup is similar to the sample year.
NC PARS Model Development
In this analysis two models were considered, referred to as Alpha and Bravo.
Alpha Model
The Alpha model is the baseline model in which no structures exist, and represents the probability that incidents will take place in the sample year. Since there are no structures in this model, allision frequencies do not exist.
Bravo Model
The Bravo model assumes that traffic does not alter patterns and adds in the fully developed wind areas. Bravo is the most congested scenario; Bravo shows the maximum allision frequencies the projects may present.
Alpha and Bravo Models' Leg Configuration
The network of legs for the model was developed in cooperation with CG District 5 Waterways based on the 2019 all vessels traffic density and includes 32 legs. The full model is shown in Figure 2 (additional larger scale screenshots are included in Appendix 1). Also in Figure 2, vessel traffic density for 2019 is represented on a yellow, orange, purple, and black scale. Yellow is the highest density areas and black the lowest density. The four colors represent quantiles with cutoffs at 99 (yellow), 95 (orange), 66 purple, and 0 (black) with a continuous gradient in between. The proposed ACPARS fairways as well as the wind areas are also shown in this figure, to provide context. The black lines represent the numbered legs connected by waypoints. Each leg has two distributions assigned, representing the two directions of travel on that leg, which were extracted from the AIS data. The legs used in this model are tabulated in Table 2.

                       Table 3: Alpha and Bravo Results
Results Breakdown and Discussion
The probabilities from the models provide a basis to compare the relative likelihood of vessel incidents in the study area in the present configuration (Alpha) as well as in some projected future configuration (Bravo). While Alpha shows no allisions since there are no structures in the model, Bravo does show allisions due to the addition of the WTGs. However, some vessels would likely route around the WEAs depending on their size. In this model, it is anticipated that cargo and tank ships would re-route from cross_5 to another area. These vessel types make up 91% of the total traffic on cross_5. The other legs that cut through wind areas do not have any or have very little cargo and tank ship traffic, and smaller vessels are presumed to continue to route through the WEA.
Any vessels that re-route around the WEA will reduce the number of candidates for allision. However, when vessels re-route to other areas, they transit in already congested spaces. More vessels would then be present on certain legs in the model, increasing overtaking and head on collisions. Thus, it is anticipated that actual allisions would be less and actual collisions be greater in a real-world scenario than are represented in the Bravo case.

Appendix 1: Additional Model Images

Appendix 2: Detailed Alpha and Bravo Case Results
For models Alpha and Bravo, overall results are shown followed by tables containing groundings and collisions by leg. Alpha and Bravo collisions are shown only under Alpha since the collision results are the same in each case. Bravo also contains allision results. All units are years between incidents.
Alpha
The Alpha Case is the base case with current traffic based on 2019 data and no developed wind areas. No allisions are contained in the base case as there are no structures in the model.
