Goals for the Clear Creek Study
The study team working on the study has defined its goals as:
Identifying and recommending an effective, affordable and environmentally sensitive flood risk management
project for Clear Creek and conducting necessary engineering, economic and environmental studies in a timely
manner in order to establish a viable project that is acceptable to the public, local sponsors and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
What are the Clear Creek Study Objectives?
- Reduce riverine flood damages along Clear Creek and its tributaries.
- Maximize the net economic benefits of any identified flood control project.
- Avoid environmental impacts when possible; then minimize and mitigate unavoidable environmental impacts associated with any identified project.
- Recognize and consider the existing aesthetic qualities of Clear Creek.
- Identify recreational opportunities created by or impacted by any identified flood control project.
