An engineering study to determine if the recently-completed Garden State Parkway interchange 91 project in Brick contributed to the flooding of more than 100 homes in the Greenbriar development is officially underway.<\/p>\n

Ocean County Engineer John Ernst said the county\u2019s consultant working on the project has begun analyzing documents, photos and other materials related to the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re waiting on him, to hear what he says,\u201d said Ernst. \u201cHe\u2019s got his own work in his queue and we\u2019re going to be coordinating with him later this week or early next week to see where he\u2019s at.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study will look into whether the interchange project, which realigned traffic near the Garden State Parkway and included the construction of entrances and exits in both directions, contributed to last month\u2019s flooding during a deluge of rain that damage more than 100 homes \u2013 primarily in the Greenbriar development. Many local residents say they never experienced flooding since the age-restricted neighborhood was built in the 1970s. But others believe the Aug. 13 storm was historic, dropping eight inches of rain in a short period of time, and the highway project may not have contributed. The study is looking to settle the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pulled out a lot of documentation,\u201d said Ernst. \u201cWe\u2019ve provided him with documentation he\u2019s going to look at, request anything else he needs and go from there. If he needs more information or needs more than what he\u2019s already been given, we\u2019ll figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ernst said there is no hard deadline for the study to end, but the results are desired as soon as possible once the analysis is complete.<\/p>\n
