Stormwater Management Program
Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
Steep eroding slopes, road cuts and concentrated drainage into unprotected road shoulders result in significant erosion and drainage issues in steep, erosion prone slopes and creates flooding and drainage issues for residents. Existing site conditions include inadequate rock lined channels on steep slopes that are overwhelmed during high intensity precipitation events. Project work will include adding in additional storm drain inlets, adding subsurface storm drain pipes that will connect rock-lined channels, and constructing basins where feasible.
