Concerned about any altering of natural flow of creek

Comments re photo 41153. The concern for protecting the Wastewater Plant

Sammy Kassem writes:
I totally understand the concern for trying to protect any major investment. I also have a major investment as do others upstream from the sewer plant. Floods last May and in 1985 both put water levels at over 6 feet in my basement. Streams have a natural flow, that if altered or restricted basically creates a dam. Any restriction, no doubt will destroy my home place thats been in my family 4 generations. Long before any sewer plant was ever built. I am very concerned as to what studies need to be done before anything is built to choke the flow of russell creek. Thank You, - Sammy Kassem
Thanks. It will be interesting to see what the findings are on the proposed solutions to problem at the wastewater plant. Hopefully, the plant can be protected, quickly, without endangering structures on upstream banks. Wonder if you also have any concerns about the fast run-off from construction and paving on higher elevations, as well? In our part of town, along the Town Creek, flooding has gotten progressively worse with more construction, more paving and and reduced vegetation on higher levels. -EW
