Ramp 1 outfall in South Nags Head ranked highest; $85,000 estimated cost
Summary
Staff said the Ramp 1 outfall project scored highest (64 points) because it serves many residents via the West Side Ditch and addresses frequent roadway flooding and safety; the project includes installing a backflow preventer and is estimated at $85,000.
David said the Ramp 1 outfall in South Nags Head ranked first among 22 projects, citing the West Side Ditch’s reach and frequent flooding that affects vehicular safety. "It's got a cost of $85,000 associated with it," he said, and added the outfall would include installation of a backflow preventer.
David explained the project's high ranking reflected a relatively low cost combined with a high number of residents impacted and the frequent flooding at Ramp 1. Board members noted that backflow prevention addresses tidal influence but does not itself count as a water-quality treatment that would boost grant eligibility.
