Quinte Conservation is conducting a study to update the floodplain maps for Potters Creek, with support from the City of Belleville and grant funding from the Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP). This study aims to revise the existing floodplain mapping for Potters Creek, which was originally completed in 1993. The Potters Creek watershed covers 30 square kilometers and includes a 31 km long watercourse. Updated the Potter’s Creek Floodplain Mapping can help homeowners, developers, and the City make better decisions about flood protection, insurance, and infrastructure planning. It may also impact which areas are considered at risk of flooding in future development or emergency response plans.
The study will address the following components:
Adherence to the province's Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program – Program Guide, detailing the requirements for the Floodplain Mapping Project.
Generation of updated flood hazard maps, incorporating data collection, hydrologic analysis, and hydraulic modeling.
Exploration of flood reduction measures in the area bounded by Moira St W to the south, Wallbridge-Loyalist Road to the west, and existing developments to the east.
There have been advancements in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling since the last mapping project, necessitating the creation of new floodplain mapping. This updated mapping will enhance flood risk assessment and management at the local level. In addition to the regulatory 100-year storm event, events corresponding to the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, 200-year, and 350-year frequencies will be analyzed and mapped to assess their impacts.
