The Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Project) will eliminate flood risk to 18 residential structures, numerous outbuildings and approximately 1,650 acres of agricultural land and will restore damaged habitat and the water quality of the Clear Lake watershed. Reconnection of this large, previously reclaimed area, as a functional wetland is anticipated to have a significant affect on the watershed health and the water quality of Clear Lake. For more information, view the Middle Creek Restoration Project Overview (PDF).
Property acquisition has begun utilizing state grant funds. Information is available on the Flood Protection Corridor page and current progress on the property acquisition can be found by viewing the Program Parcel Tracker Map (PDF).
