Upper Malletts CreekStormwater Conveyance StudyProject UpdateMarch 14, 2013
Items to Review and Discuss
•Review of study area•Stormwater management approaches •Project timeline•Information collected to date •Public input•Discussion•Next steps
Engineering Parameters
•Reduce probability of flooding by enhancing management of stormwater
•Identify cost of implementation per level of service
•Do not adversely impact downstream interests
•Maintain and/or enhance water quality •Long term sustainability
Stormwater Management Approaches•Catchbasin enhancements•Street maintenance•Clean/repair existing drainage infrastructure •Enhance/modify existing detention facilities•Overland stormwater flow management•Construct new surface stormwater detention •Construct new underground stormwater
detention •Upsize/enhance storm sewer capacity•Bio-retention/rain gardens
Catchbasin Enhancements
•Evaluate impact of installing additional catchbasins▫What is the design
capacity of grates?▫Is existing capacity
sufficient?▫Will additional
catchbasins provide significant improvements?
Street Maintenance
•Street sweeping•Clean inlet grates•23,000 catchbasins in City
Clean/Repair Existing Storm Drains
• Identify adequacy of existing storm drains▫Does modeling show drains
to be adequate? ▫Do public comments
suggest problem with drain?
•Complete targeted inspections of storm drains to establish locations for repairs and maintenance
Enhance Existing Detention • Review feasibility to
enhance existing detention▫ Is site acceptable? ▫Do modeling results
show benefit? • Evaluate increasing
capacity of basins and ponds▫Sediment removal▫Lowering of water levels▫ Increase surface area
Overland Flow Management •Evaluate changing ground
and street elevations to enhance overland flow▫Map and model ▫Review pictures and
comments▫Complete on sites reviews▫Can overland flow be
better managed?
New Surface Detention
•Evaluate construction of new surface detention facilities ▫Where is there
space to build?▫Will significant
impacts be realized?
▫Is this space cost beneficial for detention?
Storm SewerEnhancements•Evaluate installation
of new or larger storm drains▫Modeling and
analysis of storm drain system
▫What is adequate level of service?
▫Where are optimal and cost effective locations?
Underground Detention•Identify need for underground detention
▫Is adequate space for surface detention available?
▫Is underground detention affordable?▫What are groundwater impacts?
Bio-retention or Rain Gardens•Evaluate using in
conjunction with other management practices
Stormwater Management Recommendation
•Combination of these management practices
•Other practices may be added •Cost/benefit considerations will be a
factor•Recommendations must be authorized in
City capital improvement plan and funding secured
•Looking for grant assistance
Gather Information
