Watershed Management Projects

Comprehensive Watershed Master Plan

The City of Lincoln, in partnership with the Lower Platte South NRD, is developing a Comprehensive Watershed Master Plan (Master Plan). The Master Plan will be a compilation of all previously completed watershed master plans.

Deadmans Run Flood Risk Management Project

Information regarding need for project, development of various alternatives to reduce flood impacts to life, safety and property within the study area and selection of the proposed federal and local plan.

Forest Lake Boulevard Flood Risk Reduction

The Forest Lake project is a stormwater improvement project funded by the City of Lincoln’s 2019 Stormwater Bond. The purpose of the project is to reduce flood risk in a southeast Lincoln neighborhood.

Salt Creek Floodplain Resiliency Study

The goal of this project is to reduce adverse impacts from flooding to life and property from existing and future flood events.

Salt Creek Levee Project

Information regarding planned levee system improvements, flood risk, preparedness, and the Salt Creek Levee System.

Stormwater Improvement Bond Issues

Stormwater improvement bond issues provide for design and construction of urban storm drainage projects, flood reduction projects, stream rehabilitation and waterway work, design and construction of master planned basin projects, water quality projects incorporating best management practices, and preliminary engineering for basin master plans to determine future projects. These improvements reduce stormwater runoff and flooding if major rains occur, reduce flooding impacts from major stream channels, prevent or repair degraded stream channels, and improve water quality.
