[@eldergeektromeo9868]

I lived in the Hope area in the early 70's, and I recall many of the old timers back then advising NOT to put a road up the coq, for fear of flooding...and that was back then!

I remember going to Minter Gardens about 1990 after the Frazer flooded and you better start stocking up on MOSQUITO spray.

[@quadbc4059]

My heart goes out to all affected by the flooding, but it begs the question of how building permits were issued knowing full well that all the affected areas were on flood plain. Greed is the only answer!

[@freedapeeple4049]

pffft. People have been building in flood plains for thousands of years. Hundreds of thousands, probably.

[@quadbc4059]

@@freedapeeple4049 Yes that is true in the past, but you'd think that they'd ask "is this property prone to flooding?" In modern times as land is less available we build in area's that are flood prone, one cannot build in an area if building permits are not issued but as towns grow they need to utilize the land in order to gain more tax revenue...so permits are approved.

[@Val_Halla777]

Yes it’s quite unbelievable…I’m sure experts knew this was only a matter of time considering that whole area used to be a lake. Each governing party elected just kept passing the “solution projects” for the next political party to pay for. It’s also why Lower mainland ans Fraser Valley has the worst traffic infrastructure .

[@freedapeeple4049]

[@graham2631]

I'd like to point out one thing, this is to be expected. How do you think the fertile farm land in the valley bottom was created anyway? There is a reason farm houses are built on a small hill. If we turn the same land into subdivisions well, isn't that just stupid on so many levels?

No This is because of the nooksack river a few kms to the south in whatcom county

[@RS-yi5xq]

If you're building on a flood plain, good idea to consider build your house up a few feet and having an emergency hill for your animals to gather on.

[@reneeseaton3889]

Along the Russian River in Nor Cal all the homes are built on stilts above the flood plain.

[@patrickdeslaurier5295]

Looks like a very graphic reason to examine pipeline routes with a critical eye, perhaps pessimistic eye. ?

[@graham2631]

Nope they won't and when something happens me and you will foot the bill. I'd like Alberta to put their money where their mouths are. Make up a contract that makes them responsible to pay for clean up if anything happens with the pipeline they want. Shouldn't be a problem as they seem so sure it's safe and we have nothing to be concerned about.

[@varrantgreen4259]

Look sane civil engineering. Put the houses on the hills and the farms on the flood planes.

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

The old Abbotford farts that controlled the area didn't and wouldn't allow the farmland to go to development. These guys were slightly to the Right of Ronal Reagan but looked to govern their local town. Notice 98% of the flooding in on farms. Pray for the cows. Those cows, some of those Holsteins can be worth several hundred thousand dollars........EACH.
