Readers reject Owens Creek flood plan in forthright letter
A letter to the County Commissioners argues against the Owens Creek Flood Management Plan dated May 1984. The author contends levees worsen downstream flooding, threaten properties along Franklinville Road and Roddy Creek Road, and calls for stabilizing the stream, deepening the channel, and an annual maintenance program to prevent future deterioration. Nearby residents cite baseline flood data and seek protective measures for homes at 14818 and 14821 North Franklinville Road and the Maze property.
