Floodplain Mapping Project is Starting in April 2009 King County is beginning an effort to improve information about flood hazard areas along the Sammamish River. This month, consultant crews will be out working along the Sammamish River to conduct a river survey. Most of the survey work will be collecting river channel information by boating or wading in the river. So don't be surprised! They are not fishing!
The work is expected to be completed by May. New survey data and aerial photographs will be included in the flood study. Areas of inundation will be delineated. The public will have the opportunity to review and comment on the draft maps in 2010. The survey data will be used to update federal flood insurance rate maps. For complete details, see the press release.
