Project Description:
Putnam County is seeing additional funding to prepare a Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan for the entire county. The stormwater master plan will be a multi-phased program that will address existing stormwater quality and quantity problems on a prioritized basis. The first phase included a compilation and ranking of all known flooding and water quality problem areas within the County. The second phase will provide a detailed evaluation of each problem area and will include an alternatives analysis (with cost estimates) to determine the best solution for each problem area. The final phase will include a master plan report with a recommended implementation schedule of the selected alternatives
