Risk Factors
- Millstone River floodplain affects properties along Plainsboro Road and Dey Road; FEMA Zone A designations near the river corridor
- Cranbury Brook tributary flooding impacts low-lying areas in the Princeton Collection and Aspen developments during heavy rain
- 1990s-2000s condo construction used materials that degrade over time; buildings are now entering the 25-30 year maintenance window for major systems
- Flat terrain and clay soils create poor natural drainage — standing water in crawlspaces common after sustained rainfall
- Corporate campus stormwater systems along Route 1 corridor occasionally create drainage issues for adjacent residential areas during heavy rain
