Item Title:Thomas Creek Implementation Plan
Date:12/21/2022
Department:Stormwater and Drainage Management
Background:

In September 2018 the Board of County Commissioners approved to request the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to conduct a Planning Assistance to States (PAS) Study to help determine a solution to flooding issues at Thomas Creek. In September 2019, a grant agreement, Contract No. CM2721, was entered into with USACE and Nassau County.  The study was fully funded through USACE with staff providing in kind services and materials to support the study.

 

 In September 2021, Engineering Services staff presented structural and non-structural measures that were identified as potential solutions to Thomas Creek flooding during past rain events.  The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has completed their report and identified potential solutions to address the flooding concerns.

 

The Planning Assistance to States Study was adopted by the Board in June 2022 with direction to staff to develop an Implementation Plan. This plan shows the road map to the PAS Study’s solution along with how properties will rank.
