Risk zone: “I am against putting 1 million on that”
Located in the major bed of the Dunière, the project is in a “medium risk zone in an urban area” and a “high risk zone”.
Faced with this risk, the design office makes several recommendations: anchor the furniture, do not place obstacles to the flow of flood water, do not reduce the surface area of flood expansion, do not waterproof more than one hectare, have a favorable cut-fill balance, not have an impact of more than 1,000 square meters on wetlands.
Advisors’ reservations
For Robert Vallat, advisor, such a costly project is not wise in a risk area. “I have a big doubt,” he confides. We are not safe from having this field flooded. When we see the damage along the Lignon, I am against putting 1 million on that. There is a problem of economic vulnerability: it is the municipality which takes the risk. »
For the elected official, it would have been better to request the equipment allocation for rural territories (DETR) on other projects. “Would it not be possible to reduce costs with a less ambitious project? Is there no other possible location that is not in a flood zone? Isn't there also a city park project in the courtyard of the Sisters' school? »
Although these questions were raised by several councilors, the 1,240,000 euro project was still adopted as is, with the mayor recalling that the DETR file had to be submitted before December 1.
