Upper Prairie/Silver/Moores Creek Flood Control Project LOMR
Upper Prairie/Silver/Moores Creek Flood Control Project
In 2004, the City, Central Platte NRD, Hall County and Merrick County entered into an interlocal agreement along with the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources to build a flood control project along the Prairie, Silver and Moores Creeks in northwest Grand Island. CPNRD as manager of the project hired JEO Consulting of Lincoln, Nebraska to design and oversee building the dams, levee, and detention cell that make up the project.
Based on the completed project FEMA has released a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) consisting of seven revised map panels in northwest Grand Island and in Hall County north and west of Grand Island. This LOMR reduces the floodplain and ultimately requirements for flood insurance for hundreds of property owners
