Wyoming Valley Flood Control Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania
The recommended flood control project is a modification of the existing flood control features in the Wyoming Valley of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Basic elements of the improvements consist of raising approximately 64,000 linear feet of levees and steel sheet pile wall to varying heights dictated by the requirement that adequate flood protection constitutes levee raising to the June 1972 Hurricane 'Agnes' flood height. Exact height increases and the type of construction to be used will be determined during the project preliminary design phase. Height increases will be obtained by either placing additional fill material on top of existing levees and expanding the levee toe to the landside or riverside, or in both directions; or through sheet pile construction. Environmental impacts are discussed.
