Town of Aurora Drainage Ditch and Tributary Maintenance and Easement Plan
Organization:
Town of Aurora
Amount:
225000
Program Area:
Flood Mitigation and Recovery Program
County of Applicant:
Beaufort
Year:
08/04/2022
Description:
The Town of Aurora experiences frequent flooding in heavy rainfall events, specifically in the northeast section of town. The ditches and tributaries no longer empty water at the speed at which they did previously. Aurora participated in the N.C. Resilient Coastal Communities Program, and through a public input process, prioritized assessing this existing infrastructure to address flooding. Golden LEAF flood mitigation grant funds will be used to create a maintenance plan and schedule for all the ditches and tributaries within the town’s jurisdiction and to determine a list of easements that will be required to implement the recommendations for maintenance. The entire town will benefit from the completion of this project.
