CVPDC Flood Resilience Plan
The CVPDC, in coordination with area localities and local stakeholders, has completed a regional document that presents strategies to increase resilience, or the ability to withstand, adapt, and recover from impacts of flooding, as well as extreme heat, in human life, properties, and infrastructure in the region. The CVDPC Flood Resilience Plan, with adoption, enables member localities to apply to the Community Flood Preparedness Fund (CFPF) program funding to implement flood mitigation activities as well as capacity building and mitigation studies.
Watershed Planning
The CVPDC has facilitated and provided guidance in a number of watershed projects including, development of studies and plans to restore and maintain water quality within local, regional, and state waterways.
Developing a strategy to restore identified substandard or “dirty” streams to required water quality standards begins with the development of the TMDL study. A TMDL is a numerical measure of a particular pollutant load a water body can hold and still meet water quality standards. After a TMDL has been developed, a strategy to meet the water quality measure, or a TMDL Implementation Plan (IP) is developed. A TMDL IP is a summation of activities or actions that over time will assist in meeting water quality standards.
Infrastructure Planning & Development
The CVPDC assists in both regional and local water and wastewater planning and project implementation.
