Army Corp of Engineers to Study Flooding in Area

A few days remain for Lawrence Township residents to complete a survey that the Army Corp of Engineers is conducting about flooding and drainage issues in the Assunpink Creek Watershed.

“The Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a survey in an attempt to collect information about flooding damages that have been incurred along the Assunpink Creek and tributaries in Lawrence. It is not limited to the Hurricane Irene [and] Tropical Store Lee events,” reads a notice on the township’s website.

The survey can be found by clicking here.

Some of the questions included in the survey are:

• Have you experienced flooding on your property, or do you have second-hand knowledge of flooding on your property?
• If yes, how often has flooding occurred?
• What was the typical duration of the flooding?
• What was the apparent source of the flooding?
• Describe any corrective measures you have implemented to avoid or reduce flooding on your property

The survey should be completed by May 17 and returned to Lawrence Township Municipal Engineer James Parvesse via email at jparvesse@lawrencetwp.com.
