In October 2012, the Town of Greenwich and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) initiated a cost shared feasibility level study to determine if flood risk management opportunities are advisable for the Byram River Basin, Connecticut and New York. This study is authorized by the House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Resolution dated May 02, 2007, Docket Number 2779.                                                 

Information Needed                                            

In order to maximize the accuracy and usefulness of this study, the Town of Greenwich would appreciate any photographs or flooding levels from the April 15, 2007 storm or Hurricane Irene, August 26, 2011. If you have any information please contact James Michel.  

Public Information Meeting

On January 23, 2012, the ACOE and the Town of Greenwich held a public information meeting to present the alternatives that are being considered as part of this study. A copy of the presentation along with several exhibits and informational video will be posted in the near future. Please review the presentation as it provides detailed descriptions of the ACOE process, the allowable Flood Risk Management alternatives and a discussion on other items being considered.
