Flooding

The town has been infamous for flooding of the Raritan River. A major flood in 1896 caused major fires.[1] In September 1999, many structures in Bound Brook south of Route 28 were damaged or destroyed by floods from the Raritan River resulting from Hurricane Floyd. The flooding from this hurricane reinvigorated a long-planned effort called the Green Brook Flood Control Project that would protect Bound Brook from up to a 150 year flooding event from the Raritan River and its tributaries the Middle and Green brooks that comprise the western and eastern boundaries of the town. The highest flooding level since 1800 in Bound Brook was reached during Hurricane Floyd in September 1999 (42.13 feet, according to the U.S. Geological Survey[2]). The second highest recorded level was after the April 2007 nor'easter, when the Raritan River crested above 38 feet, at two inches above the level set during Tropical Storm Doria in 1971. Main Street was also flooded in September 1996. In 1999 and 2007 Bound Brook's downtown flooding led to out-of-control fires, which could not be put out because of lack of access for fire vehicles.
