Updates at Site 4 - headwaters @ Monsanto Dr.

The Local flood Risk Reduction (LFRR) section completed the in-house project feasibility about 2 years ago and concluded there was no feasible in-house solution), and that it should be considered for a larger-scope, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) based on the LFRR priorities. For FY2020, the project is ranked outside of the Top 20 and there is not a set time to launch a feasibility study for this CIP yet.  Based on the input received at SUSE5, the LFRR section will engage the community to learn more about the extent of the problem and how individuals are coping with flooding issues (because there is evidence of people trying to implement their own solutions). Some of the potential technical solutions that will be considered for this project include:

1. looking at the possibility of implementing rain harvesting as much as possible in the area and installing rain gardens
2. Targeted buyouts in which residents are relocated within the same neighborhood (there are some vacant lots)
3. Building a large wetland in large vacant lots in order to provide detention
4. Some of the homes have large lots that are vacant, consider installing limited storage in as many homes as possible
5. Instead of having a pipe all the way down to the creek, consider daylighting the last section as much as possible.
