Waterfront Resilience Program

The Waterfront Resilience Program (WRP), led by the Port of San Francisco, is a multi-decade initiative to strengthen the Port's 7.5-mile Bay urban waterfront against climate and seismic hazards. The WRP addresses coastal and combined flooding, sea level rise, earthquakes, shoreline erosion and other threats facing this vital stretch of infrastructure and public space. Wherever possible, the WRP examines opportunities to enhance City infrastructure and services; increase the resilience of lifeline corridors along the waterfront; promote equitable access, enjoyment and use of the Port’s public waterfront; and encourage enhancements to habitat and the public realm along what is largely a human-made shoreline.  Altogether, WRP efforts reflect the Port’s commitment to creating a resilient, equitable, and vibrant waterfront for current and future generations.

A key component of the WRP is the San Francisco Waterfront Coastal Flood Study (Flood Study), developed in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Released for public review in 2024, the Flood Study includes a $13.5 billion Draft Plan that outlines coastal flood defenses, floodproofing, water management measures, and potential future actions designed to defend the waterfront through 2140. The Port and USACE are preparing a Recommended Plan and Final Report for congress consideration by 2026. If approved, the Federal government may fund as much as 65% of the design and construction cost. The USACE Flood Study and Plan are one piece of the Port’s overall strategy to build a waterfront that is more resilient to flooding and seismic risks. The Port is also advancing planning, design and construction of Early Projects funded through the 2018 Proposition A Seawall Earthquake Safety Bond to reduce near-term seismic and flood risk and strengthen the Embarcadero Seawall in targeted areas. In some cases, these are interim fixes, and in others, they are a first step toward future adaptation. Early Projects are being prioritized using criteria developed with community input, such as improving life safety and citywide disaster/emergency response capabilities; enhancing economic and ecological opportunities; supporting an adaptable, equitable waterfront; ensuring public access to the waterfront; and preserving historic and maritime resources.  Additional workstreams within the WRP for the next three years (mid-2025 to mid-2028) include the Living Seawall Pilot, permitting and environmental review, community engagement, design and engineering, and alignment with local, state, and federal policy.

For more information about the Waterfront Resilience Program (WRP) and Early Projects, please visit: https://sfport.com/wrp. and Embarcadero Early Projects | SF Port.

Under direction from the WRP Deputy Program Manager (Environmental), the Principal Environmental Planner will work collaboratively with the WRP Team, Port staff, including the Port’s Planning & Environment Division staff, and other City staff and consultants to identify and reduce WRP program and project environmental impacts and support environmental regulatory compliance on WRP projects and sites. Over the next three years, the Principal Environmental Planner will help develop programmatic and project-level regulatory permitting strategies, help advance environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the USACE Flood Study and Plan, its early implementation actions and projects, as well as some of the WRP Early Projects that are not part of the Recommended Plan, and assist WRP Project Managers by facilitating project-level environmental review and helping obtain regulatory permits for their projects.

This Principal Environmental Planner will also assist on investigation and remediation of contamination and hazardous materials as well as assist with developing and evaluating nature-based adaptation strategies for San Francisco’s waterfront, working with consultants and agencies.

The essential duties may include, but are not limited to the following:

• Provides regulatory and environmental input to inform WRP project plans and help prepare scopes of work, schedules and budgets for consultants working on WRP projects’ environmental analysis and regulatory permitting.
• Manage consultants in the preparation of environmental technical studies, quantitative analyses, proposed mitigation, cost estimates and timelines to comply with regulatory agency permits.
