Welland River Floodplain Mapping Information Session Presentation

TOWN HALL MEETING February 2016

Welcome! Please sign in…

Welland River Floodplain Mapping Update

To successfully complete a Floodplain Mapping Update Study that is Connected, Accurate, Reliable, and founded on Empirical data and observations using state-of-the-art tools and methodologies.

Project Vision Statement

• This means that new floodline mapping will be in place for the Welland River. The new line may affect what you can do on your property.

• The project will fully engage affected landowners. • Awareness, understanding and input are key principles of the

consultation program.

A series of Town Hall Meetings open to the public, interested landowners and stakeholders will occur over the next 9 months. Awareness Meetings (February 2016) will occur during the beginning of the study and will focus on describing the project and listening to community ideas and concerns. Technical Understanding & Input Meetings (April 2016) will occur once some modeling work has been completed. We will ask for feedback that can be incorporated into the reports and mapping document. Draft Floodline Maps (October 2016) will be presented after the summer holiday period. Community input will be considered before NPCA Board makes a final decision.
