SUMMARY:Flood control And Perspectives on the City of Boulder's Plan
DESCRIPTION:Registered Professional Engineer and Land Surveyor Ben Binder believes Boulder is seriously mismanaging a major flood control project. \nThis 45-minute presentation will be followed by a 15-minute discussion. \nThe introduction will be about storms\, floods and mapping floodplains. \nThen\, Binder will cover reducing flood damage through prudent land-use planning and common mitigation methods. \nHe’ll share the history of the South Boulder Creek floodplain and the Flatiron gravel quarry\, and CU’s purchase of the flood-prone mined-out gravel quarry for a future campus.  \nHe’ll finish the discussion by talking about the 2013 flood\, Boulder’s plan to protect homes from future flooding\, and how politics\, engineering errors\, and design constraints have overlooked a far better design\, resulting in a 450% cost increase. \nRegister here \nor here https://denverpressclub.wildapricot.org/event-6784723
