The Newmarket Creek watershed is subject to flooding from both rainfall and tidal events, and there is a history of flood damage within the watershed.

USACE is the lead federal agency and the city of Hampton will be the nonfederal sponsor for the study. The city of Hampton has experienced an accelerating increase in nuisance flooding due to storms and tidal events of varying magnitude, with large storms (nor’easters and hurricanes) often causing major flooding in many areas of the City.

No application will receive more than three additional points for this priority.

resilience and sustainability of the surrounding communities, and 
reduce the economic costs and risks associated with flood and tidal 
events.

alternatives.
    As required by Council on Environmental Quality's Principles, 
Requirements and Guidelines for Water and Land Related Resources 
Implementation Studies all reasonable alternatives to the proposed 
Federal action that meet the purpose and need will be considered in the 
EA. These alternatives will include no action and a range of reasonable
