Flooding in Kittitas County, A Synopsis. 1973
1996 Comprehensive Flood Management Plan
Since 1996, Flood Hazard Planning efforts have recognized that the Elk Meadows, Elk Meadows Park, Pine Glen, and Sun Island communities are large-scale developments with urban densities that routinely experience Yakima River flooding. The Easton Reach Flood Hazard Assessment was conducted so that we could better understand, communicate about, and plan for these hazards.
The goals of this assessment are to gather information needed to develop a consensus on flood hazard reduction projects, irrigation and infrastructure improvements, and priority salmon recovery actions in the Wilson, Naneum and Cherry Creek watersheds, and to develop criteria, options and a schedule for subsequent projects.
