BACKGROUND:
Background
The East Brooke drainage improvements imply lowering the flood elevation by increasing the area of the existing East Brooke DRA and adjusting the existing outfall. Currently, the DRA has an outfall that discharges to Lake Catherine. The project proposes an increase in the East Brooke DRA volume by purchase of a nearby parcel of land that can be converted into additional pond storage.
The City is looking for funding from FEMA via the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and has secured a positive approval from the Local Mitigation Selection committee. The next steps is the detailed & technical application submittal process requiring assistance from Pegasus Engineering to ensure the City’s submittal is complete and results in an unquestionable approval from FEMA & the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
