Coastal and Riverine Flood Assessment
The District studied the flood risks associated with increased creek flooding from extreme storms, combined with high tide conditions. The District then evaluated projects to reduce flood risk for channels as they flow into the Bay.
Results are summarized in the Coastal and Riverine Flood Assessment report for Zones 2, 4, and 9. The project list for the benefit assessment was created in part from the alternatives presented in this report.
