Maple Canyon is a natural drainage corridor that receives runoff from more than 100 acres through 16 storm drain systems. It also lies within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Zone A floodplain and has historically been subject to severe flooding, erosion and infrastructure failure resulting from uncontrolled urban runoff and undersized stormwater systems. Thus, the Maple Canyon Restoration and Flood Mitigation Project implemented a comprehensive watershed-scale solution to severe flooding.
