Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
Water quality and erosion control project that will address surface runoff conditions. Existing site conditions include an undersized storm drain collection and conveyance system that is overwhelmed during high intensity storms. Project work will include adding in additional storm drain inlets, adding subsurface storm drain pipes to replace an existing steep rock-lined conveyance channel, and constructing a series of linear storm drain detention basins that will also allow infiltration of stormwater. Project improvements will redirect urban stormwater runoff into a new subsurface conveyance systems; thereby, removing overland surface flow that is impacting private and public property.
