Project Summary
A Floodplain Development Permit Application for floodway development within the channel of Elk Creek to replace an undersized culvert and improve flows in the creek. Within the project site, Elk Creek flows through a culvert that is an obstruction to fish migration. The project will replace the culvert and re-establish the creek channel that provides fish passage. The re-established channel will be sized appropriately to function in both low-flow and high-flow conditions. Per the Applicant’s No-Rise Analysis, the project will not aggravate flooding along Elk Creek.
The project location is a City-owned property identified on Jackson County Assessor’s map as 37S 2W 12B, Tax Lot 502. Applicant: Central Point Parks & Public Works Department; Agent: RH2 Engineering.
