TL TETRA TECH
<br /> County of Hawaii, Planning Department: PL.5 Community Planning[Environmental]Qualifications—FY 2024 •L
<br /> In Spring of 2020, Tetra Tech was contracted by the Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation to perform a Maui
<br /> County Beach Parks Vulnerability Assessment. This project includes a detailed analysis of the vulnerability of Maui County's
<br /> beach parks and developing recommendations to address short and long-term impacts of coastal hazards, climate change,
<br /> and other environmental threats.
<br /> In 2021, Tetra Tech was contracted by the County of Hawaii to develop the technical foundation to revise the County's
<br /> shoreline setback rules to more effectively reduce risk to coastal hazards and climate change. Tetra Tech is developing a
<br /> coastal hazards typology island-wide to support the analysis of policy-induced vulnerabilities and identification data gaps. In
<br /> addition, a pilot study of using shoreline certification reports to determine shoreline changes rates has been completed. Tetra
<br /> Tech will integrate the results of new data collection provided by UH-Hilo Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Lab in
<br /> defining shoreline typologies for the island that can be used to develop shoreline setback rules by typology.
<br /> In 2021, Tetra Tech was subcontracted by Focused Planning Solutions to prepare the County of Hawaii Climate Adaptation
<br /> Plan. The first phase of this project, to develop a project work plan, was completed in November 2021. The second phase of
<br /> the project will be to prepare the Climate Adaptation Plan. Key activities conducted to develop the Work Plan include:
<br /> identification of climate threats; identification of County assets and systems at risk (parks & beaches, critical infrastructure,
<br /> socio-economic,fiscal, etc.); and, identification of criteria that can be used to prioritize assets for adaptation projects.
