Consultant Wins Contract For Flood Control Study

May 1, 2002
Vollmer Associates has been selected by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection to perform a study and develop alternatives and recommendations to control/mitigate flooding.

Vollmer Associates has been selected by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection to perform a study and develop alternatives and recommendations to control/mitigate flooding in the Rooster River Watershed at its junction with I-95/Long Island Sound in the Town of Fairfield and City of Bridgeport.

The area has a long history of flooding and has been the subject of several previous studies outlining improvements. The recommendations of earlier studies were generally opposed by the public because they would have resulted in significant disruption to the area, and the project went no further.

The Town of Fairfield recently resurrected the project, requesting a final study be undertaken that would result in recommendations having less severe impact on the area and meet with public approval. There is approximately $3 million in state funding available to the town for flood control and mitigation in the area.
