SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Since the last task force meeting on June 11, 2019 dike and revetment repairs on Valdez Glacier Stream and Mineral Creek continue. Capital Facilities Director Nate Duval will speak on the current status of construction. Please see the attached photos.
Planning for future flood mitigation on the Lowe River needs to continue. Attached are past studies and recommendations from consultants for historical reference. These documents are for reference and discussion only, and are not recommendations from staff. After today’s meeting we hope to get a sense of how the task force would like to proceed with flood control on the Lowe, and will provide further research if needed.
