Public Information Centre Planned for Floodplain Mapping in the Little River Watershed
Essex Region – As part of the overall Master Servicing Plan being completed for the Sandwich South Study Area by the City of Windsor, ERCA is in the process of updating the Regulatory Floodplain Maps for the Little River Watershed.
The technical analysis is complete, and public consultation will take place to provide stakeholders a chance to review the updated floodlines, understand any potential impacts on currently owned land, and provide feedback.
The Public Information Centre will include:
- Summary of the Federal and Provincial Regulation Floodplain Mapping Process;
- Understanding of ERCA’s Regulation and Duty;
- Technical Summary of the Study and General Findings; and
- Introduction to the proposed Two-Zone Floodplain Policy for the Watershed.
The Public Information Centre will be hosted via Zoom on November 17 from 6pm – 8pm, and all are welcome to attend. To access the Zoom link, visit: https://essexregionconservation.ca/LittleRiverPIC
