Frequently asked questions
The brook has no floodplain left. Does March still load a cellar?
Roads pinched Proctor Brook so a late-winter cell has nowhere to spread. March's 5.07 inches sits in the channelized bed and in the tannery fill beside it, and a 1966 cellar on that terrace takes it from below. The floodplain is under the street.
The tanneries are closed. Why would they still wet a basement?
Pits and fill do not leave with the company. Leather-works ground still sits under streets, still holds water, still connects to the brook. A 1966 cellar on that terrace can wet from below with no storm because the industrial hydrology was covered, not removed.
Salem is four miles east. Is this the same harbor problem?
No. Salem is a peninsula and a harbor. Peabody is an inland brook and tannery fill. March rain here is industrial ground, not a tide. Sharing the North Shore does not share the path. A wet cellar on Derby Street is the harbor, not a brook, and the repair that works in Peabody will not find that water — or the reverse.
