Codorus Creek Flood Wall Improvements

SCOPE OF WORK Penn Street Floodwall Replacement Construction Codorus Creek is located in York, Pennsylvania. The existing flood protection wall between Penn Street and Tyler Run along Codorus Creek was constructed in the 1930s and 1940s and is deteriorating at several locations. If left unattended, the wall could fail, resulting in failure of the flood wall system. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers desires to take the necessary steps to maintain the effectiveness of the flood wall system to protect the land from the one percent probability flood event (100-year flood) by replacing the Penn Street Floodwall. The project is located on the south side of Codorus Creek on the property of the old Schmidt and Ault Paper Company, now owned by York College. The extent of the work will be to construct approximately 600 linear feet of wall extending west from the south abutment of the Penn Street Bridge to the Tyler’s Run tributary to Codorus Creek. The work includes demolition of the existing flood wall, construction of a new flood wall, and removal of stream channel sediments and incidental related work.
