??	1998 - present: After the flood of January 1996 the borough has been seeking funding for flood mitigation work in addition to the work the borough has done with it's general funds. After several years of continued application- the borough was placed on the list to evaluate the flood control project and bring it to the standard of the 100 year flood plain. The DEP is currently in the process of evaluating the flood control system- in 2003 they spent close to $80,000.00 in doing a complete survey of the entire flood project. This cost all has been at no cost to the borough. It is expected that a completed report and plan of action will be released some time in 2004.
