A phased, budget-conscious drainage strategy protecting homes and the corridor down to Geneva Lake.
As Town Engineer for the Town of Linn, Lynch developed a phased drainage strategy for the Maple Hills Subdivision - protecting the surrounding homes, downstream properties, and the land draining toward Geneva Lake.
Rather than one oversized capital project, the improvements came as practical, sequenced steps: culverts cleaned and replaced to restore capacity at drainage crossings, check dams to slow flows, and new field inlets to capture runoff before it becomes erosion. The result is sustainable relief the Town could afford - and maintain.
Improvements sequenced over time to match Town budgets and priorities.
Cleaned and replaced culverts restored capacity at key crossings.
Check dams and field inlets slow flows and reduce flooding.
Designed and delivered under Lynch's ongoing municipal engineering role.
