Author Summary
Quinte Conservation updates 1981 Marsh Creek floodplain maps using modern tools to reflect land use changes and climate data, inviting Picton residents for input on flood risk management. (148 characters)
Project Overview
The last floodplain mapping for Marsh Creek dates back to 1981, and current updates account for shifts in land use and climate information.
Quinte Conservation seeks public input to finalize the study on updated mapping for Marsh and Macaulay Creek areas.
Background and Purpose
This effort targets the Village of Picton region, prone to flooding, with headwaters in agricultural and forested lands; Macaulay Creek flows steeply through urban zones into Marsh Creek.
Advanced methods like topography, bathymetry, modeling, and surveys will delineate flood zones for better planning and mitigation.
Natural hazard maps guide development reviews, zoning, and emergency prep by authorities.
Scope and Support
The study covers hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for regulatory 100-year floods, plus 350-year events for comparison.
Funded by Government of Canada, Province of Ontario, and Prince Edward County.
