{"content":[{"text":"Q: How will the discharges from new developments next to the Camac be dealt with and taken \n into account? \n A: All new developments will have to adhere to SuDS guidelines to ensure that runoff is \n managed within its own site catchment and returned to the ground or rivers at a natural rate. If \n any attenuation is required, any run-off from developments will have to be regulated to an \n agreed discharge level, in accordance with DCC and SDCC policy. This will ensure that the \n channel capacity of the Camac required to meet a 1 in 100-year flood event is not com- \n promised.","bbox":{"left":0.073387,"top":0.115522,"width":0.8542740000000001,"height":0.134179}},{"text":"Q: Concerns about flood schemes promoting natural based defences but end up just being hard \n defences \n A: Where it is feasible for natural measures to contribute to flood reduction in the Scheme Area \n this will be considered. However, due to the presence of existing development in some flood- \n prone areas, opportunities to provide natural flood storage measures in these areas may be \n more limited. Typically, where upstream natural flood storage measures can be achieved this \n can help to reduce the need for hard defences in downstream developed areas.","bbox":{"left":0.073387,"top":0.272876,"width":0.854436,"height":0.11850099999999997}},{"text":"Q: How would you intend to control the flow from the upper reaches of the catchment and in- \n crease channel capacity? \n A: y identifying natural flood plains, using natural river management in controlling flows and by \n maximizing natural alleviation measures. Such measures could include: \n lowering embankments to allow flooding into adjacent fields \n re-meander through agricultural fields \n diversionary channels with offline storage ponds/wetlands \n Channel capacity could be increased with cleaning culverts and better bankside maintenance.","bbox":{"left":0.073387,"top":0.414838,"width":0.846209,"height":0.157839}},{"text":"Q: Have the two culverts that end outside the Clondalkin Civic Offices beside the main Camac \n culvert that comes under the car park of the Mill Shopping Centre been explored? \n A: CCTV surveys are currently under way in these areas to confirm pipe locations and sizes.","bbox":{"left":0.073387,"top":0.596138,"width":0.836593,"height":0.0563570000000001}},{"text":"Q: Does the fact that the Mill Ponds in Clondalkin are in private ownership affect their use for \n flood alleviation? \n A: All options for flood storage will be explored in terms of feasibility at this stage, upon com- \n pletion of the hydraulic model.
