body
Background:
The Mossdale Urban Flood Risk Reduction (UFRR) Project is a multi-phase flood risk reduction effort intended to provide 200-year Urban Level of Protection (ULOP) to the Mossdale Tract area through a combination of levee improvements, extensions, and associated multi-benefit components.
