b. Evaluate flood reduction benefits with land acquisition expansion with projects that are identified for construction within the next several years (“Near Future Conditions”).
c. Evaluation flood reduction benefits with land acquisition specific only to the design of the Wexford Pond and Greenway (“Existing Conditions”).
2. Evaluate flood reduction benefits of the selected conceptual design for four alternatives specific to varying alternatives to pedestrian access and hydraulic structures.
3. Update the existing XP-SWMM model for both the “All Solutions” and “Near Future Conditions”
