Citizens'
group opposes proposed flooding regulations
5/7/2009 issue of The River Reporter.
UPPER DELAWARE RIVER VALLEY — The Group of Thirteen, made up of
owners of riverfront property on the Delaware River, has issued a statement
expressing concern about new regulations that may be implemented throughout
the Delaware River floodplain by the Delaware River Basin Commission
(DRBC).
The group argues that the regulations do not consider financial impacts
on individual property owners or any plan to mitigate hardship, including
a funding scheme. Among the provisions objected to by the group is one
that would require property owners to raise their houses 18 inches over
the 100-year flood level, plus 25 percent.
