Project
Townwide Hydrologic + Hydraulic Analysis
Since Hurricane Matthew in 2016, major storm events have inflicted significant damages throughout the Town of Lillington, including substantial flooding of drainage systems and natural streams and creeks throughout Town. This flooding has resulted in significant amounts of debris and erosion within the drainage paths, as well as identified need for drainage system upgrades across Town. The Town of Lillington has recently received funding through several mechanisms to repair / restore areas that have been identified as priority stormwater problem areas. Funding will be used to address street and structural flooding; infrastructure upgrades; address stream erosion and water quality issues; and explore opportunities for nature-based solutions and other innovative stormwater practices to address these Town-wide issues.

McAdams contracted with the Town to provide a comprehensive, Town-wide hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to assess the overall drainage system and to analyze critical drainage hot spot areas and frequent problem areas. As part of funding received from the Golden Long-term Economic Advancement Foundation (LEAF) Foundation, McAdams assisted the Town in the development of an overall stormwater capital improvements program (CIP) based on prioritized assessment of its stormwater issues. This plan included opinions of probable cost, concept level improvement plans and a prioritized listing of projects based on discussion with Town staff, administration and public stakeholders. Work to implement several of the highest priority projects has already commenced as well.
