What sort of problems have you had? <br /> • I believe the Oxley Slough should be investigated by the Corps of Engineers. I think the <br /> slough is subject to flooding. I think it has been silting up for decades, and may need to <br /> be dredged. Another possibility would be to investigate the point where the slough enters <br /> the river. If the elevation of the slough is lower than the elevation of the river, physical <br /> control at that point would prevent back-flooding. <br /> • City of Veneta has storm water streams that cross from west to east across potential <br /> new development sites. Past development has created flooding problems for existing <br /> residents upstream and downstream. New development must address these issues in <br /> the planning stage, prior to any further site developments in Veneta. <br /> <br /> 24 Metro Waterways Study -Citizen Involvement Summary Report -March 2005 <br /> <br />
