Stormwater Management Program
Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
This project aims to restore approximately nine acres of stream environment zone (SEZ) partially through the reconnection of Meyers Creek to its floodplain. In the 1960’s, Meyers Creek was channelized linearly along the border of the SEZ to make way for urban development. The parcel is located on Santa Fe Road at the west end of Pioneer Trail in Meyers. By reconnecting the creek to its floodplain to restore wetland processes. The project will also have greenhouse gas reductions, groundwater recharge, flood control, water efficiency, possible regional treatment systems, and recreation. This project treats 5 miles of roadways through source control and hydrologic design.
