Reference number 89179 regarding the proposed flooding prevention plans for Sussex NB

I am writing with concerns I have regarding the proposed flooding prevention methods that are being planned for the river flowing between the highway and the CN bridge behind our home on Adam Lane. I have lived on this land for many years and have watched the natural seasonal water rise and flow. The water system in this area cannot manage any more water being forced though its channels than it does now for a regular spring high water. The water will not be able to flow through the field and out through the narrow opening under the existing CN train bridge and especially with the increased amounts they are planning on adding to the regular spring water flow. There would not be enough change in the elevation to allow for water to flow out past the are below the train bridge.
We have our own sewage and water system that may be affected by a change in the water. The land in this area is sandy and the ground water is the main source of potable water for our home, same as other homes in this area. High water coming in from industrial sites in large volumes could damage the eco system as well as contaminate our water and destroy our sewage system. This will also put our property in a flood zone which will significantly decrease our home's value by the actions taken by the town. We were never contacted or advised about any of the proposals that the town was planning. A very underhanded and deceptive way to carry out any plans of this magnitude in our backyard.

I am asking that you reconsider taking any further action until this project has been considered for all the residents and business of the area.
