GI/LID Obstacles in Boston
Commission does not own land for GI/LID
• Need to work with other agencies and entities– Department of Public Works
– Department of Transportation
– Boston Parks and Recreation Department
– Boston Public Schools
– Boston Planning and Development Agency
• Need to work with private property owners
• Need complete understanding of who is responsible for continued maintenance

• INVESTIGATE PIPES THAT NEED TIDE GATES
• COORDINATE WITH CITY ON BARRIERS AND THE NEED FOR TIDE GATES TO ENSURE COMMISSION PIPES DO NOT ACT
AS BY-PASS TO BARRIER
• INVESTIGATE CATCH BASINS THAT MAY DISCHARGE TO COMBINED SYSTEMS IN AREAS THAT MAY BE PRONE TO
INUNDATION
• CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH CITY ON CLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGIES
• INVESTIGATE AREAS TO STORE STORMWATER DURING LARGE EVENTS
• CREATE INUNDATION MODEL TO IDENTIFY AREAS: THAT MAY NEED TO BE EVACUATED IN EXTREME EVENTS; DISRUPT
TRANSPORTATION; IMPACT POTENTIAL EVACUATION CENTERS; IMPACT HEALTH CARE FACILITIES
• INSPECT TIDE GATES AND OUTFALLS
• MONITOR RAIN DATA TO GATHER INFORMATION ON STORM EVENTS AND INTENSITY
• CONDUCT MONITORING ON DORCHESTER INTERCEPTOR
• IDENTIFY STRATEGIC MONITORING LOCATIONS AND INSTALL METERS TO GATHER INFORMATION ON HOW SYSTEM
