Philadelphia Stormwater GPC presentation 10.25
- 1. STORM WATER RUNOFF & PHILADELPHIA PARKING
- 2. Planning Session October 25, 2012
- 3. Agenda • Welcome / Aging Infrastructure and Transformative Opportunity Paul Wessel, Green Parking Council • Introductions • The Green Parking Council & the Philadelphia Opportunity Rachel Yoka, Timothy Haahs & Associates • Philadelphia's new parcel-based stormwater fee and third- party investment in stormwater retrofits Alisa Valderrama, Natural Resources Defense Council • Collaborative Opportunities Mark Gander, AECOM • Discussion • Moving forward?
- 6. Certification & the GPC Vision • Create a new rating system that will transform the parking industry • Address a critical void in the green building marketplace Operating Philosophy • Collaborative • Volunteer driven • Open source • Ready for challenge, revision, adaptation, growth, transformation
- 7. Current Framework • Organized for both new and existing structured facilities – LEED/GG may apply to new – Addressing existing critical to success • Meaningful, with enough “teeth”, yet achievable with commitment – “Excessive burden” of LEED
- 8. Overarching strategies Increase: 1. Committed & educated leadership 2. Transportation alternatives 3. Energy efficiency 4. Use of renewable energy 5. Support for rating systems 6. Community & vitality Decrease: 1. Carbon emissions & pollution 2. Waste generation 3. Harmful chemical use 4. Potable water use 5. Cost

- 10. Today’s Opportunity • Application of certification strategies to Philadelphia’s parking industry – both surface and structured assets • Generate business opportunities, decrease operational costs, and do the right thing • Lead the market in innovation and creativity
- 11. Unique Philly Opportunity • Parking is part of the solution, rather than the problem • Focus on voluntary efforts to improve facilities • Support & • Collaboration opportunity versus adversarial relationship • Recasting of relationship as private AND public parking facilities
- 13. Drawing Private Capital to Green Infrastructure October 2012 Presented by: Alisa Valderrama Natural Resources Defense Council
- 14. Overview • Deploying green infrastructure at a citywide or regional scale can help meet Clean Water Act goals for stormwater (MS4) and sewage overflows (CSOs). • Major, long-term investment is required to green the existing built environment in our cities. • Need to take advantage of both public and private funding sources. • Cities can leverage private investment through policies that: (i) Establish design/performance standards for redevelopment projects; (ii) Drive private property owners to retrofit existing developed parcels; and (iii) Create or enhance opportunities for private capital to underwrite up-front costs of retrofits. • With appropriate public policy and financial toolkits, private capital investment can enable and accelerate green infrastructure retrofits. • Philadelphia provides an excellent test case! 14
- 16. 16 Philadelphia’s Green City Clean Waters Plan • Relies on green infrastructure for a majority of the required reductions in sewage overflows • City can claim credit for “greened acres” on private property: • Greened acres through redevelopment standards • Greened acres through voluntary retrofits on existing developments • Stormwater fees and credits incentivize private property owners to retrofit existing development
- 17. Philadelphia’s parcel-based stormwater rate structure • Previous stormwater fee based on water usage (measured by water meter) • New fee based on: impervious surface area + gross area + min. parcel charge: For fiscal year 2014 (proposed): Impervious area= $4.50 per 500 sf Gross area rate= $0.56 per 500 sf 17
- 18. The new fee structure may also improve the “financeability” of green infrastructure retrofits: • Substantial discount on fee available for owners who manage first inch of stormwater on their parcel. • Parcel owners need to re-apply for the credit every four years. • Over time, retrofits will pay for themselves through avoided stormwater fees. Example: Under Philadelphia’s current rate and fee, for example, project costs should fall below $36,000 per acre ($0.82 per square foot) if the project is to pay back within 10 years. Limited data to generalize about retrofit costs Value of credit will go up over time as stormwater rates increase 18
- 19. Many parcel owners lack the cash to pay the upfront costs of retrofits and will likely seek financing • Traditional financing mechanisms are likely unavailable because of: Existing leverage on assets and lack of collateral No track record of repayment for such loans • As a result, many property owners are unable to respond to the incentives created by the credit and fee structure 19
- 20. NatLab: Innovative Financing for Stormwater Retrofits s 20 The Natural Infrastructure Financing Lab (NatLab) is a partnership between the NRDC, EKO Asset Management, and The Nature Conservancy Sponsorship Goal Pilot Project Develop innovative strategies for financing conservation and green infrastructure Focus on deployment of green infrastructure (“GI”) solutions for storm-water management in Philadelphia
- 21. Looking Ahead… Large scale potential for private investment in green infrastructure retrofits • Nationwide: o About 1,000 communities already have impervious area-based stormwater fees;* many of those offer credits for property retrofits that reduce runoff o 770 CSO communities, over 7,000 MS4 communities • Philadelphia is an incubator for green infrastructure financing ideas o Philadelphia has one of the most enticing stormwater fee reductions available o NatLab (Natural Infrastructure Financing Laboratory) NRDC, TNC, & EKO Asset Management Partners Working with the City to develop and implement financing strategies *http://www.wku.edu/engineering/civil/fpm/swusurvey/ 21
