2. Project Summary
Project Title: Increasing Climate Risk Preparedness, Water Quality Management and Flooding Control by
Enhancing Planning Use of Intensity/Duration/Frequency Extreme Rainfall Data
Project Location: Atlantic Canada including: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and
Newfoundland/Labrador
(community, city, town, region, province within the Atlantic Ecosystem)
Start Date: April 1, 2015
End Date: March 31, 2018
Length in months: 36 months
Please provide a brief summary describing your project (approximately 200 words).
This project involves collaborative work to create a web-based tool offering improved access to
Intensity/Duration/Frequency (IDF) extreme rainfall data, helping environmental managers and municipal
planners better prepare for climate impacts in four provinces of Atlantic Canada (NB, NS, PEI and N.L.). Both
municipal leaders in Atlantic communities (in a 2014 survey supported by HOTO) and provincial planners
have voiced a need for better tools to strengthen planning and to manage water quality, stormwater and
flooding during frequent and intense extreme precipitation events. To enhance their risk preparedness,
they need ready access to precipitation data, including IDF curves, in a user-friendly online format.
The proposed interactive web tool, based on the US precip.net site, will rely on existing data already
compiled by EC. It will be used to help inform Environment Canada on possible future expansion of this
functionality to other regions. During the first year, EC’s Meteorological Services will provide a student
intern to prepare data, and the project will gather input from potential users of the tool (such as ecosystem
managers and transportation directors responsible for infrastructure decisions that influence wetlands). In
year 2, the draft tool will be developed and revised based on input from potential users, and the final tool
will be shared at a regional workshop and training session focused on planning for extreme precipitation
events. During the final year, provincial partners will share the final web tool with colleagues and
constituents and help communities integrate precipitation data into climate change adaptation planning.

d) Project Goals and Objectives:
Identify project goals and objectives that will be achieved within the timeframe of the project. Clearly explain
how the project will benefit the Atlantic Ecosystem.
The overarching goal of the project is to improve the climate preparedness of the Atlantic region by making it
easier for planners, ecosystem managers and other decision-makers to access data concerning extreme
precipitation events. Project objectives include compiling existing data and getting feedback from potential
users about their information needs; designing an interactive website that provides precipitation data in a
visually accessible format; incorporating user feedback in site revisions; and educating local and regional
representatives about the tool and related issues and resources at a workshop.
e) Key Activities/Work Plan:
Describe the proposed project, providing details of the activities to be undertaken, the techniques involved,
and planned timelines.
The first phase of the project involves work to compile existing IDF data from EC so that it can be readily
integrated into an accessible web-based format. This will be done by a student intern, hired by EC, during the
first year of the project.
During 2015, the project will organize an interactive webinar to gather input from potential users as to the
contents and features of the prototype precip.net website. Results from this session will be used to guide the
design and programming of Canada’s online IDF tool.
The project will hire a computer programmer to develop the online portion of the tool in 2016, with advisory
input provided by NOAA’s Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, which developed the
prototype website precip.net. The IDF website tool will be housed on the Gulf of Maine Council’s website.
The project also will convene a regional workshop for users of IDF information to help advance preparedness
for extreme weather in Atlantic Canada. The workshop will include an interactive session to promote the use of
the new IDF website, help participants make full use of this new resource, and promote the site within their
jurisdictions to those engaged in planning, construction and mitigation projects which are sensitive to extreme
precipitation events
Late in 2017 and early in 2018, the provincial representatives who attended the regional workshop will share
the new IDF site with colleagues and constituents in each jurisdiction to enhance climate change adaptation
planning and gather input from users to help in evaluating the product.

Atlantic Ecosystem Initiatives: Application Form
Mecray is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Regional Climate Services Director for the
Eastern Region.
NOAA’s National Weather Service has been working on a parallel effort to generate precipitation frequency
estimates (called Atlas-14) that are required for use in engineering calculations for infrastructure design and
construction (currently accessible through the precip.net prototype website at the NRCC. Mecray will work
with the NRCC in their advisory role to ensure that the Canadian site benefits from lessons learned in creating
the US site.
Rick Fleetwood, EC Regional Climatologist in Fredericton, NB, will be assisting with the IDF project. Fleetwood
has served as a meteorologist with EC for 27 years, and has experience managing national and regional-scale
projects—including the most recent national update to the extreme rainfall data for Canada (in coordination
with EC’s Engineering Climate section).
EC’s Engineering Climate Services section, which is responsible for providing Canada’s official IDF information,
will work closely with the project team to ensure that information on this new web tool is credible and meets
EC standards. This project will make readily accessible the most up-to-date IDF information for Canada based
on actual observations (filling a different need than other new IDF tools based on downscaled data from future
climate models).
g) Project Partners:
Detail the involvement and role of all project partners. (Do not include financial details here).
The following Provincial representatives will provide user input for the IDF tool, coordinate tool evaluation and
promote use of the information in their jurisdictions:
David Briggins, Director, Drinking Water and Water Resources Branch, Nova Scotia Environment, Science
Division;
Darryl Pupek, Director, State of the Environment Branch, New Brunswick Department of Environment and
Local Government;
Jim Young, Director, Prince Edward island Department of Environment, Labour and Justice, Environmental
Division; and
Martin Goebel, Assistant Deputy Minister – Environment Executive Branch, Newfoundland and Labrador
Department of Environment and Conservation
In addition, at least 20 workshop participants across the Atlantic and Gulf of Maine region will partner to
conduct provincial level outreach for the project.
4. Evaluation
10
Atlantic Ecosystem Initiatives: Application Form
a) Evaluation Plan:
Provide an evaluation plan that clearly demonstrates how you will assess whether the project goals and
objectives have been met. The plan should include the methodology and any calculations/formulas used to
measure your project’s results.
During its development, the website will be designed and tested virtually and through regular provincial
contacts from EC and the Gulf of Maine Council to ensure it meets the provinces’ information needs. In the
second year of the project, the rollout of the site and its contents will be the feature of a regional-scale
workshop demonstrating site functions and training potential users. During the final year of the product,
provincial representatives will share a survey with the website’s initial local-level users, encouraging input from
them on the structure, functionality and value of the site. The feedback from the workshop and from the
provincial users will be used to evaluate the site content and functionality.
b) Evaluation Criteria:
Provide a description of how your proposal addresses both the applicable Required and Desirable Criteria.
Required Criteria (Project proposals are required to meet the following criteria).
Demonstrate strong linkages to the AEI program priorities.
Precipitation frequency (IDF) information is critical to the design of drainage and storage structures that—in
the event of extreme runoff—can mitigate flooding impacts on water quality and sensitive habitats. Without
this information, roadways, bridges and culverts may be under-designed to support the precipitation and
resulting flows causing failures, erosion, and large post-storm repair costs. Thus, IDF information can increase
risk preparedness as well as mitigate against habitat degradation, helping communities and natural ecosystems
facing the more extreme magnitude and frequency of precipitation associated with climate change.
Be scientifically and/or technically sound.
The Canadian precipitation and IDF information that EC is providing for this project meets Canada’s regulatory
standards. The Gulf of Maine Council is adding value by facilitating development of a website that enables
ready user access to these data throughout the Atlantic region. The partnership with Environment Canada
ensures that the data are technically sound and that trusted information will be delivered in a useable form.
This project offers a broad range of decision-makers from the Atlantic provinces access to credible
governmental data on extreme precipitation.
Demonstrate management capability to successfully undertake the project.
The Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment’s Climate Network has successfully managed previous
AEI projects and launched effective new initiatives like the Gulf of Maine Quarterly Climate Impacts and
Outlook, cooperatively planned and produced by EC, NOAA and other regional partners.
Achieves or leads to measurable environmental results.
The proposed work provides precipitation frequency information and IDF curves through a web-accessible
11
Atlantic Ecosystem Initiatives: Application Form
format. These data are required by engineers at provincial and local levels to design and build roadways,
bridges, culverts, and all stormwater management systems to meet the changing hydrological regimes
anticipated with a changing climate. These structures not only support critical infrastructure in the human
dimension of the ecosystem, but they also help mitigate losses in the natural environment including diminished
connectivity, erosion along riverine systems, and habitat degradation (such as wetland loss on riparian buffers).
Each of these impacts can be measured, demonstrating the importance role of easy access to precipitation
information in risk preparedness and ongoing efforts to minimize climate impacts.
Desirable Criteria (The following desirable criteria will be given key consideration in proposal evaluation)
Builds on existing research and knowledge.
The proposed web-based tool builds upon IDF data that EC has compiled, but which are not readily accessible
to communities for planning and risk preparedness. This site would offer two functionalities that do not
currently exist on EC web services: map-based access to data, and extension of the IDF information to include
statistics beyond 24-hour return periods.
Improves capacity for comprehensive ecosystem-based approach.
This project builds capacity within the Atlantic Provinces for an ecosystem-based approach to engineering
designs by providing improved access and visualization of IDF information for use in planning and construction
of structures like culverts that impact habitat health. The information is also used to determine the frequency
of high-precipitation events, which can have a significant impact on flooding and wildlife habitat.
Builds partnerships through collaboration with other organizations.
Through the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment’s Climate Network, this project links Atlantic
provinces—not only with federal Canadian partners—but with US colleagues to enhance the region’s capacity
to develop state-of-the-art risk preparedness tools.
Extent of leveraged funding from other sources.
The four Atlantic Canada Provinces (NB, NS, N.L., and PEI) have confirmed in-kind match of $15,000 per
province for a total of $60,000 (well over 1/3 of total funding request). Two of the Provincial Letters of Support
are attached to this proposal and the other two will be completed soon. Additionally, there is in-kind match of
$6,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US, and $56,000 in-kind match from
EC Meteorological Services of Canada (documented in Letters of Support).
Dissemination of results and knowledge.
The project will convene a regional workshop for users of IDF information to help advance preparedness for
12
Atlantic Ecosystem Initiatives: Application Form
extreme weather in Atlantic Canada. The workshop will be an interactive session to promote the use of the
new IDF website, help participants make full use of this new resource, and better understand the application of
IDF information in planning, construction and mitigation projects which are sensitive to extreme precipitation
events. Provincial project partners will participate in a special training on the IDF tool at the regional workshop
to equip them for subsequent outreach and planning work, promoting the availability of this web-based tool
within each of their jurisdictions and gathering input from users to help evaluate the product. Provincial
partners will work to ensure that municipal decision-makers, ecosystem managers and engineers within their
jurisdiction understand how to access and use the online precipitation data—adding specificity and direction to
existing municipal climate change adaptation plans.
