Honeoye Creek Watershed Flood Prevention Plan
The Town of Richmond, as Honeoye Creek Watershed Local Sponsor, is working in cooperation with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to develop a Honeoye Creek Watershed Project Plan - Environmental Document (Plan-ED) to address flooding in Honeoye in Ontario County, New York.
The project is a forward-looking evaluation of storm related flooding along the Honeoye Creek and the actions that can be taken to lessen future impacts during storm events. The resulting recommendations are expected to build upon the historic and ongoing activities by the Town to address recent flood damages, with the ultimate goal of future flood related damage reduction through planned mitigation and preparatory actions.
Public scoping meetings were held on 1/21/2025 to discuss the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program, review planning activities to date for Honeoye Creek, describe the various alternatives to be evaluated, answer questions and concerns about the planning activities, seek public input, and outline the planning schedule.
NRCS, Town officials, and their consultants presented detailed information and discussed questions and concerns.
