The Project: The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA) is in the process of completing a flood hazard mapping study for Durham Creek in partnership with the Municipality of West Grey and D.M. Wills Associates Limited.
The Process: The process to develop floodplain maps involves field investigations (topographic, bathymetric, and hydraulic structure surveys), a hydrology study (including hydrologic modelling, the development of a hydraulic model, the development of floodline maps, and documentation of the methodology and results from the study in a comprehensive report.
How to Participate: Residents and interested community members are invited to attend a Public Information Centre to review the draft results of the study. The details of the Public Information Centre are as follows:
Date/Time: February 22, 2024, 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
