Storey County adopts Gold Canyon Area Drainage Master Plan

Storey County Board of County Commissioners · June 16, 2026

Summary

The county adopted a FEMA-funded Gold Canyon Area Drainage Master Plan developed with JE Fuller and the Carson Water Subconservancy District to remodel the watershed and guide future flood-mitigation work in Divide/Gold Hill.

The Storey County Board on June 16 voted to adopt the Gold Canyon Area Drainage Master Plan, a FEMA-funded watershed study developed in cooperation with JE Fuller, Lumos and Associates, NDOT and the Carson Water Subconservancy District. Planning Manager Kathy Canfield said the plan—modeled after the Dayton Valley plan—remodels the watershed and will guide county and partner flood-mitigation projects.

Mike Kellogg of JE Fuller described the technical basis and partners involved in developing the plan. The motion to adopt the plan passed 2–0 with Commissioner Gilman absent; staff said the plan provides a framework for future project scoping and grant applications aimed at reducing flood risk for Divide and Gold Hill residents.
