Project Type: Study

Project Description:

The District is re-evaluating the floodplain along two miles of Echo Canyon Wash located within the Town of Paradise Valley and the City of Phoenix.  

The Echo Canyon Wash Floodplain Delineation Study builds on the technical information developed during the previous phases of Cudia City Wash Area Drainage Master Study and Design Concept Report. Results of the study are now ready for public comment and submittal to FEMA.

The 10/22/2022 Presentation can be viewed here.

Previous Work:

ADMS Phase - The Cudia City Wash Area Drainage Master Study is a restudy of the 1994 ACDC ADMS Phase I covering the watershed area between Cudia City Wash and 10th St. Wash. The study area is approximately 13 square miles located primarily within the Town of Paradise Valley, City of Phoenix and a small portion of unincorporated Maricopa County.

DCR Phase - The District prepared a Design Concept Report (DCR) for Cudia City (Echo Canyon) Wash zone 4 as identified in the Cudia City Wash ADMS. The DCR area covers approximately four-square miles located within Paradise Valley and City of Phoenix. The area is mainly residential with some commercial corridors along major roadways. The District completed the following tasks in this phase:

  • Evaluate FEMA floodplains within this watershed for potential redelineation
  • Further technical analysis of the proposed alternatives from ADMS phase
  • Develop 15% plans associated with cost estimates and reports to mitigate the flood hazards reducing flood risks
