Lack of Drainage Systems
Increased Flooding Potential
Due to the lack of proper drainage systems in existing neighborhoods, flooding is a common occurrence in Scotts Hill and most of Pender County. Many of the proposed developments will have drainage system and retention/detention ponds. However, this will not help the existing communities and with additional impervious surfaces, the potential for more flooding is increased.
When a couple of inches of rain cause flooded roads and tributaries to be even with the road, you can only imagine the impacts from tropical storms and hurricanes.
