Cuyahoga River, Ohio Restoration Study: Main Report. Flood Control in the Valley View/Independence Area.

Abstract

The primary water resources need for which a solution is sought under this authority is to reduce flood damages at four specific sites in the Valley View/Independence area (Sites 1-4). As possible solutions to addressing this need, 25 preliminary alternatives and 12 additional detailed alternatives, in addition to the 'No-Action' option, were formulated and assessed. These alternatives fell into four broad categories: levee protection, minor channelization, floodproofing, and floodplain relocation with conversion of the vacated land to recreational use. However, no plan was economically justified (i.e., benefit-to-cost ratios for all plans were less than 1.0), and therefore the Tentative Recommended Plan is the 'No-Action' (do-nothing) plan.
