Flood Plain Information, White Clay Creek, New Castle County, Delaware.

Abstract

The portion of New Castle County covered by this report was subject to flooding from White Clay Creek, Dela. These areas were severely damaged by floods in 1937, 1955, 1967, and 1972. Included within the scope of this report is a history of flooding along White Clay Creek. Technical data was presented thru maps, photographs, profiles and cross sections. Under authority 206 of the 1960 Flood Control Act as amended the flood plain information was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District at the request of the New Castle County Department of Planning. The information should be considered for its historical nature. Since the publication of this FPI report other Flood Insurance studies have been undertaken and should also be consulted for more current information.
