The Flood Protections Level of Service (FPLOS) Phase II Adaptation and Mitigation Planning Study will develop adaptation strategies to address the deficiencies identified during the Phase I Assessment Study completed in 2020 and identify flood mitigation projects needed in the C8 and C9 watersheds to maintain or improve the level of flood protection. This phase of the study has a basin wide focus and will evaluate planned or proposed projects in the primary, secondary and tertiary system with the goal of identifying operations and infrastructure necessary to protect the public under both current and future conditions, considering development, land use changes and sea level rise (SLR). Accomplishing the goal for a comprehensive basin wide adaptation and mitigation strategy will require a collaborative effort between the District, USACE, counties, local drainage districts and other stakeholders responsible for developing, operating or maintaining flood control assets within the watershed.
