Tripps Run at Barrett Road Flood Mitigation Project
Project Number: SD-000032-069
Project Update: October 23, 2024
A public meeting was held in late August to present the 35% design to the community. The project is moving into the 65% design phase, and a public meeting will be held later this year to provide updates regarding the project and next steps.
Project Background
The project is the result of a study completed in December 2020. The study involved the investigation of potential flood mitigation measures in an area of historic flooding along Tripps Run near Barrett Road. The study assessed and evaluated four flood mitigation project scenarios. These scenarios included grading and stream enhancements within county properties and easements as well as acquiring properties for additional grading opportunities. After the study was completed, the first public meeting was held on February 18, 2021, to present the findings to the community. The selected scenario moved forward for design in summer 2023.
Funding through the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF) in the amount of $8,985,200 has been awarded. A Grant Agreement from the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) was authorized in April 2023 for the design and construction of the Tripps Run at Barrett Road Flood Mitigation Project.
