Hebron Hydrologic & Hydraulic Floodplain
The Village of Hebron partnered with our team to address heavy flood events frequently affecting their community. Their effective FEMA model was nearly 20 years old and contained outdated structure and hydrologic information. In order to define base flood elevations more accurately, we completed a comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of four miles of major stream network. Our detailed analysis led to obtaining a FEMA letter of map revision (LOMR). We also provided strategic construction suggestions around the community, including diversion channels, ditch widening, additional flood culverts, and an automated canal and lock system to create detention and divert flood flows prior to and during heavy rainfall events.
