SRBC Survey Project in Borough

The Borough of Lewisburg continues its efforts to become a more flood resilient community by partnering with The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) to gather first floor elevation data for all properties located in the Borough’s 500-year flood plain.  An effort being driven by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), and others, gathering this information will add to the ongoing expansion of the Susquehanna Flood Warning Response System (SFWRS).  SFWRS provides community officials and emergency managers with an online tool to assess damages for various levels of flood stage as well as plan response actions associated with each stage.  Data will be collected using conventional survey methods and take place from the public right of way.  Some data collection may require limited property access to collect first floor elevations.   Century Engineering (a Kleinfelder Company), will be completing the surveying in Lewisburg Borough during the months of October, November, and December 2024.  Century Engineering’s vehicles are marked (see picture below) and their staff will be dressed in safety attire.  This project is funded by a 2019 Flood Mitigation Assistance grant and is at no direct cost to Lewisburg Borough taxpayers.
