As identified in the report titled “Report to Congress on Future Water Resources Development” submitted to Congress on January 29, 2015, and January 29, 2016, respectively, pursuant to section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d) - Request for study authority for a flood risk management project that would protect the citizens and economic vitality of Daytona Beach, Florida. Past flooding in the area located south of CR 4050 (Orange Avenue), north of SR 400 (Beville Road), east of SR 5A (Nova Road), and west of US 1 (S. Ridgewood Avenue) has impacted as many as 800 structures and caused $72 million in property damage. This project will reduce flood risk in the area where flooding is a recurring problem due to its low elevation, the frequent breaching of the Nova Canal, and the continued impact of sea-level rise along the Halifax River to the east.
