Title
Matters relative to Tenth Street Improvements
Body
SUMMARY: The Obed Watershed Community Association has a pot of grant money for stream improvements including stormwater management, in stream or out of stream. The Tenth Street project consists of removing soil in the area shown on the attached map to a level just above the invert elevation of the storm sewer crossing Tenth Street. This project is the perfect example of teamwork for water quality improvements. The project permitting and excavation work will be performed by the City of Crossville as in kind contributions utilizing City personnel and City equipment. The Obed Watershed Community Association will ensure proper vegetative cover and stabilization. This excavation and stabilization will increase the floodplain area on the Cumberland County Rescue Squad property. This increase in storage area will help reduce the flooding on Tenth Street and areas downstream. Additional benefits will be reduction of infiltration into the sanitary sewer system and deposition of sediment and gravel from the City to Town Branch.
This project will reduce the frequency of flooding in the area but will not eliminate all flooding.
