Edgewater unveils stormwater master plan after 16-month study
Summary
City staff presented a 16-month stormwater master plan by Jones Edmonds and Mead & Hunt that maps flood basins citywide, models multiple storm scenarios and proposes phased infrastructure and buyouts to reduce flood risk in neighborhoods including Florida Shores.
City staff presented the stormwater master plan on Dec. 3, describing a 16-month effort by Jones Edmonds and Associates and Mead & Hunt that combined lidar, land-use and field observations to model flooding across Edgewater. The study covered 1,135 field locations and modeled events from mean annual to 100-year storms; staff said the model was calibrated using citizen photos submitted during recent flood events.
The plan groups problem basins into four phases of work ranging from pump installations and conveyance upgrades to later-phase property acquisition and large-scale resilience projects. "So the stormwater master plan is done by Jones Edmonds and Associates and Mead and Hunt," the Director said, explaining the data sources and modeling approach. Staff said the full report will be released to the public on Dec. 19 and that the plan will be used to prioritize projects and pursue state grants.
