Fixing a Local Creek's Flooding Problems - Friday, September 14, 2007 at 5:22PM EST

CARBONDALE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Officials in Carbondale did their final inspection of a stream remediation project along Racketbrook Creek Friday morning. Occasional flooding has caused serious erosion along the stream. The latest repair project involved the rebuilding and reinforcement of a bank that had given way. This threatened the foundation of a nearby home. Carbondale Mayor Justin Taylor said he would like to see remediation along the entire creek in the city. "Unfortunately we're piece mealing this creek and fixing areas that we have issues with after each individual storm. What we really need to focus on is some federal and state money to secure the entire stream bank, which is probably a mile and a half from start to finish." Mayor Taylor said without improvement along the entire stream additional erosion problems can be expected.
