Resolutions authorizing the design and construction of flood-mitigation facilities in Apache Junction and San Tan Valley will be considered Wednesday by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors sitting as the flood control district.

The Apache Junction site, designed to meet the recurrence interval of a 100-year flood, at the southeast corner of State Route 88 and Idaho Road, is to become a multi-use park facility, according to Pinal County documents.

The San Tan Valley project, to meet the recurrence interval of a 25-year flood, includes a culvert at Roberts and Thompson roads, with a channel south to Phillips and then east more than 1,000 feet, according to a flood control district map.
