Expert Says City's Report on Stormwater at Brook Run is Flawed

A hydrology expert for plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Dunwoody over a new trail at Brook Run Park testified, Thursday, that the city’s report on stormwater at the park are flawed, a Reporter Newspapers story said. 

Court resumed Friday morning at the Dekalb County Courthouse. 

The lawsuit over plans to build a concrete trail in Brook Run now has 25 plaintiffs, spearheaded by Beverly Armento and Rebecca More. All were in court on Thursday, the Reporter story said.

The plaintiffs say the City can look back to this week’s storms to see that the new park path would create drainage problems for their properties.

Hydrology expert, Brian Wellington from NewField Consultants testified that Dunwoody’s hydrology report for the park was based on wrong pre-development conditions, the Reporter Newspapers said.
