Why a Stormwater Management Facility?

Frequent flooding is occurring around the low areas in the
vicinity of the park.

Flooding currently occurs during storm events greater than
a 5-year or more reoccurrence interval.

Overland stormwater flooding of the low area is causing
basement flooding in nearby homes.
