Dekalb County will provide an overview of an Approach to Mapping and Regulating drainage areas of 100-acres and more, Future-conditions floodplain, and FEMA SFHA's in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
The City of St. Marys, GA, received Section 319(h) Grant funds to incorporate green infrastructure into its downtown streetscape project to address localized flooding, including 19,000 square feet of permeable pavement and 7,000 square feet of bioretention. This presentation will outline the project as a case study and highlight lessons learned from implementation and post-construction hydrologic and water quality performance monitoring results.
Residents of Ashland Estates Subdivision, located in the northwest portion of Clayton County, have seen increased property flooding since 2009. This flooding has apparently been brought on by nearby development that has impacted a nearby creek that backs up to homes located on Allen Court and flows across the end of Judy Lane. To address the flooding impacts, caused by one of the smaller tributaries in the area, CCWA requested a pointed conceptual design/analysis be performed on Camp Creek Tributary 5C. There appeared to be an opportunity to perform some wetlands and tributary enhancements that could improve stream flow patterns and minimize property flooding for at least five residents.
Please join us from 12-1 PM EST for another great GA DNR Lunch and Learn Session. One Continuing Education Credit will be available for CFMs who complete the poll questions and provide their applicable information.
