Purpose

The NAU department of Engineering and inspection has indicated that the Gammage and Eastburn Education buildings are currently experiencing flooding and in need of immediate flood mitigation.  These building sites are susceptible to poor drainage conditions and can consequently suffer moderate flood damage during relatively minor flood events. Accordingly, the drainage plan for the Eastburn Education and Gammage watershed must be analyzed to minimize flood impacts and drain the site area as efficiently as possible. Although the site area lies within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated floodplain for the Rio De Flag, this drainage study will not include an analysis of the Rio De Flag’s 100-year flood plain.
