Public Hearing: Local Flood Analysis

The Olive Flood Advisory Committee (FAC), working under the direction of the Town of Olive Town Board, invites you to attend the first in a series of public meetings to find solutions to flooding in the hamlets of Shokan & West Shokan. This study will consist of an expansion of the 2017 West Shokan analysis, and a new flood study and stormwater analysis for Shokan.

This Local Flood Analysis (LFA) will focus on beneficial and feasible solutions. We’re asking you to help us identify issues and areas prone to flooding within your hamlet. What are your experiences? Do you have suggestions? Questions? Together, we’ll develop a range of strategies that will be tested for their effectiveness using engineering analysis. Initial results will be reported at a second public meeting to help refine these strategies.

SLR Consulting, hired by the Town of Olive to assist with the LFA, will present at the meeting and ask for public input.

Please join us on Thursday, September 11, at 6:30 pm at the Town Meeting Hall, 50 Bostock Rd., Shokan to learn more and make this study a success. Your hamlet is counting on you!
