Cuyahoga River, Ohio Restoration Study: Executive Summary.
Abstract
As a first step in the study, four areas in the Valley View/Independence area were identified where flooding was particularly severe: two areas were commercial-industrial areas, and the other two areas were residential. All other reaches within the Valley View/Independence area either did not contain any structures (and thus flood damages would be minor), or, if there were structures present, they were isolated and potential flood damage reduction benefits in these areas would not be of sufficient magnitude to support a flood control project. Therefore, the remainder of the study concentrated on these four high damage areas. Alternatives were developed to reduce flood damages in these four areas. These alternatives fell into four broad categories: levee protection plans; floodproofing; minor channelization; and flood plain relocation. However, no plan was economically justified and the study was terminated. Further, as this was the last report to be prepared under the Cuyahoga River Restoration Study, the study authority was also terminated.
