DescriptionThis report analyzes flood damage and mitigation in the Millstone River Watershed. Located in central New Jersey, the Millstone River Watershed is part of the Raritan River Basin and drains approximately 184,300 acres. It has been the scene of chronic flooding over the last 100 years or more of record keeping. Following Hurricane Floyd (September 16-17, 1999) and its associated flooding, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) was contacted by then-Congressman Franks and Congressman Holt regarding the use of the PL83-566 Program to develop a watershed plan to reduce future flood losses in the Millstone River watershed. The Millstone River Watershed Steering Committee, which was formed in early 2000, identified seven objectives for the watershed planning effort with flood damage reduction being the top priority. It identified a number of flood mitigation measures to be studied by NRCS that subsequently analyzed flood water storage at 26 sites throughout the watershed and levees at four locations in the Lower Millstone River high priority area. This report contains these analyses and the recommendations made by the Steering Committee to further pursue the opportunities for potential flood damage reduction.
