Stormwater Management Program Reduce Stormwater Pollution From: Roads and Highways, Forest Roads, Public and Private Parcels
This 3 phase project will accelerate the implementation of the improvements identified in the 2014 Burke Creek-Rabe Meadow Complex Master Plan and the Kahle Drive Vision. Any expenditures and performance measures should be reported in each individual project. Phase 1 01.01.01.0150- Kahle Water Quality Basin Implementation is complete, Phase 2 03.02.01.0055- Kahle Complete Street will convert Kahle Drive to a Complete Street and raise the grade of the road to improve capture of stormwater, and Phase 3 01.02.01.0090-Burke Creek/Rabe Meadow Riparian Resoration will restore a straight line stormwater ditch at the end of Kahle Drive to a functioning meadow/SEZ.
