Project components include:

Repairs to drainage structures would take place within and may impact unmapped floodplains across the project area.

Construction is projected to begin in summer 2026.

Development of this proposed project would follow a process required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Based on project location and scope of work, the environmental document is anticipated to be a Categorical Exclusion on basis of 23 CFR 771.117(c)(26).
