4 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Summary The following table summarizes the NFIP statistics for the Borough of Bloomingdale. Table NFIP Summary Municipality # Policies (1) Bloomingdale, Borough of # Claims (Losses) (1) Total Loss Payments (2) # Rep. Loss Prop. (1) # Severe Rep. Loss Prop. (1) # Policies in 1% Flood Boundary (3) $1,255, Source: FEMA, 2014 te (1) Policies, claims, repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss statistics provided by FEMA and are current as of August 31, 2014 and are summarized by Community Name. Please note the total number of repetitive loss properties excludes the severe repetitive loss properties. The number of claims represents claims closed by 8/31/2014. te (2) Total building and content losses from the claims file provided by FEMA Region 2. te (3) The policies inside and outside of the flood zones is based on the latitude and longitude provided by FEMA Region 2 in the policy file. Number in the floodplain was determined using the 2007 Effective DFIRM 1% annual chance flood boundary. te (4) FEMA noted that where there is more than one entry for a property, there may be more than one policy in force or more than one GIS possibility. te (5) A zero percentage denotes less than 1/100th percentage and not zero damages or vulnerability as may be the case. Critical Facilities The Borough has one critical facility (senior center/shelter) located in the 0.2-percent annual chance floodplain (FEMA, 2007). Refer to their mitigation strategy presented in Table (Bloomingdale 1). Using the 2015 Preliminary DFIRM, there are no critical facilities located in the 1- or 0.2-percent annual chance floodplain. Other Vulnerabilities Identified by Municipality The Pequannock River is the most significant waterway in the Borough. It flows west to east along the southern boundary of the Borough. There are several tributaries to the Pequannock River located in the Borough including Cold Spring Brook, Van Dam Brook, and Oakwood Lake Brook. These tributaries are located in the southern portion of the Borough and flow north to south. Posts Brook and its tributaries are other significant waterways in the Borough and located in the central and northern portions of Bloomingdale. That Borough has exhibited flooding, stream bank erosion, and diminished base flow in its streams. Many of the storm drains in Bloomingdale are undersized and during severe storm events, the systems do not have adequate capacity and cause a backwater effect and flooding upstream. The low-lying areas above and below Oak Street are subject to flooding by the Van Dam Brook. Flooding along the Pequannock River has also been noted. The Borough has identified Catherine and Elizabeth Streets, and Fitcher Street and Delazier Place near Oakwood Lake Brook as being periodically subject to flooding (Borough of Bloomingdale Stormwater Management Plan 2006). The steep slopes in the Borough produce heavy runoff during large storms and produce flash flooding problems (Borough of Bloomingdale Open Space Master Plan). The Borough experiences flooding from Cold Spring Brook, Oakwood Lake Brook, Posts Brook Tributaries 1 and 2, Van Dam Brook, and the Van Dam Brook Tributary (FEMA FIS 2007).

9 National Flood Insurance Program NFIP Floodplain Administrator (FPA) Dan Hagberg, Construction/Zoning Official Flood Vulnerability Summary The municipality maintains lists/inventories of properties that have been damaged by floods. The FPA indicated that the Borough did not suffer flood damage from Hurricane Sandy. Substantial Damage estimates were conducted after Sandy; however, none were declared. There is currently no interest in mitigation in the municipality. Resources The FPA is the sole person assuming the responsibilities of floodplain administration in the municipality. The NFIP administration services and functions provided include permit review, inspections, damage assessments, and record keeping. Education and outreach to the community regarding flood hazards/risk is done via social media, Borough website, and recent applications for CRS. The FPA did not identify any barriers to running an effective floodplain management program and feels that they are adequately supported and trained to fulfill their responsibilities as the Borough s FPA. The FPA would consider attending continuing education and/or certification training on floodplain management if offered. Compliance History The community is in good standing with the NFIP. It is unknown of the most recent compliance audit. Regulatory The Borough s floodplain management regulations/ordinances do not exceed the FEMA and State minimum requirements. There are local ordinances, plans or programs in the community that support floodplain management and meeting the NFIP requirements. The Borough is currently applying to join to the CRS program. Community Rating System The Borough of Bloomingdale does not participate in the Community Rating System (CRS) program but is interested and has identified this as a new mitigation action in their mitigation strategy (Table ). Other Capabilities Identified Previous actions that are now on-going programs and capabilities are described below. Refer to Table presented later in this annex. DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Passaic County and All Municipalities, New Jersey 9.2-9

10 Integration of Hazard Mitigation into Existing and Future Planning Mechanisms For a community to succeed in reducing long-term risk, hazard mitigation must be integrated into the day-today local government operations. As part of this planning effort, each community was surveyed to obtain a better understanding of their community s progress in plan integration. A summary is provided below. In addition, the community identified specific integration activities that will be incorporated into municipal procedures. Open Space Master Plan (2013): The Borough s OSMP aims to protect open space and critical environmental resources, including wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes and stream corridors, while creating more open space and greenways to further these goals. The Plan addresses various hazards including the dangers of building within the floodplains, as well as disturbing and building upon steep slopes. The Borough looks to adopt environmental protection ordinances for stream buffers and recharge areas to protect water resources. In vember 2000, the Borough enacted the Recreation and Open Space Establishment Municipal Trust Fund to aid in the preservation of historical sites and open space. These following actions are related to the use of the ROSE Fund: Submit the OSMP to NJDEP Green Acres Planning Incentive Grant Program for matching acquisition funds of the ROSE fund Examine opportunities to develop a greenway corridor project along the Pequannock River with surrounding communities Implement the Vision Plan for Bloomingdale (adopted June 2006) by prioritizing the creation of a river walk along the Borough s Main Street The Borough will utilize the HMP as a guide during the next Master Plan update. Refer to Table , new mitigation action Bloomingdale 7. Stormwater Management Plan (2006): This Plan was adopted as a means to reduce the impacts on public health and the infrastructure by flooding caused by stormwater runoff, as well as increased soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution. Actions that will be used to achieve these goals include: Adoption of a Stormwater Control Ordinance Promote implementation of Low-Impact Development Allow for mitigation plans where compliance to the standards and requirements of the SMP cannot be reasonably met on-site Ordinances: The Borough has their ordinances and flood protection measures available on their website. Please visit the Borough of Bloomingdale website at for further information. Outreach: The Borough s website has a link to the Swift-911 tification system, which will contact residents for severe weather warnings and other hazards. The website also has an Announcement Board that holds information on current events and public health and safety advisories. Funding: The Recreation and Open Space Establishment Municipal Trust Fund is the main source of funding for open space acquisition and preservation. The Borough has also received funding through CDBG-DR to fund mitigation projects. DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Passaic County and All Municipalities, New Jersey

13 Completed Mitigation Initiatives not Identified in the Previous Mitigation Strategy The Borough has identified the following mitigation projects/activities that have also been completed but were not identified in the previous mitigation strategy in the 2010 Plan: Flood mitigation project at Sloan Park, Main Street, to stop the Main Street and residential properties from flooding. The lead agency is the Borough of Bloomingdale. It was funded by $1.1 million in local bond. The project has not been started due to delay in NJDEP approval. Refer to Table (Bloomingdale 2). Desnagging of all brooks the lead agency is the Borough of Bloomingdale. This project was funded by the local flood mitigation bond and is 100% complete; however the Borough would like to continue this action (refer to Table , Bloomingdale -4). Repaired failing culvert at Knolls Road the lead agency is the Borough of Bloomingdale. The project was funded by the local flood mitigation bond and is 100% complete. Generators for Sewer and Water Department building, fireman hall, and senior center for shelters and generators for sewer pump stations the lead agency is the Borough of Bloomingdale. The Borough has applied for HMGP funding post Hurricane Sandy. Refer to Table (Bloomingdale 1). DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Passaic County and All Municipalities, New Jersey

14 Proposed Hazard Mitigation Initiatives for the Plan Update The Borough participated in a mitigation action workshop in vember 2014 and was provided the following FEMA publications to use as a resource as part of their comprehensive review of all possible activities and mitigation measures to address their hazards: FEMA 551 Selecting Appropriate Mitigation Measures for Floodprone Structures (March 2007) and FEMA Mitigation Ideas A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (January 2013). In December 2014, the Borough participated in a second workshop led by FEMA Region 2 and NJOEM and was provided the results to the risk assessment to further assist with the identification of mitigation actions. Table summarizes the comprehensive-range of specific mitigation initiatives the Borough would like to pursue in the future to reduce the effects of hazards. Some of these initiatives may be previous actions carried forward for this plan update. These initiatives are dependent upon available funding (grants and local match availability) and may be modified or omitted at any time based on the occurrence of new hazard events and changes in municipal priorities. Both the four FEMA mitigation action categories and the six CRS mitigation action categories are listed in the table below to further demonstrate the wide-range of activities and mitigation measures selected. As discussed in Section 6, 14 evaluation/prioritization criteria are used to complete the prioritization of mitigation initiatives. For each new mitigation action, a numeric rank is assigned (-1, 0, or 1) for each of the 14 evaluation criteria to assist with prioritizing your actions as, Medium, or Low. The table below summarizes the evaluation of each mitigation initiative, listed by Action Number.
