FLOOD-01

Evaluate and Improve Capacity of Stormwater Infrastructure for High-Intensity Rainfall Events

Implementation

Invest in green infrastructure, such as rain gardens, bioswales, stormwater tree trenches, green roofs, detention basins, and rain barrels, to reduce peak runoff, filter stormwater, and increase groundwater recharge.
Increase maintenance and cleaning of gutters, drainage ditches, and culverts to maximize drainage capacity.

Benefits: Investing in green infrastructure and maintaining the existing infrastructure under the jurisdiction of the County would reduce instances of localized flooding in the County.

Timeframe: Near term
