Document Description
The proposed project will install a storm drain system that consolidates the sheet flow of off Bay Avenue and conveys it into the concrete lined stormwater collection channel.
Runoff from Bay Avenue will be conveyed via a new concrete curb to a series of catch basins down Bay Avenue before conveyed across Bay Avenue via an 18-inch HDPE to a drop inlet sized 36-inch x 36-inch x 48-inches tall. The runoff will then be conveyed for 38- feet via an 18-inch diameter HDPE to another 36-inch x 36-inch x 48-inches tall drain inlet located at the intersection of Bay Avenue and Willow Road. From the inlet, the run-off will be conveyed east for 55-feet through an installed 18-inch HDPE culvert under private land and discharge to the concrete lined channel. The project will cut a notch in the concrete wall of the lined channel at the outlet that will be grouted after the installation of the storm drain pipe. The project will not require work within a floodplain or wetlands and no flood plains or wetlands would be impacted by project activities.
This project will reduce flood damage to the private property and the road, reduce road closures for repairs, and reduce interruptions in access to homes by residents and emergency personnel.
The project will require excavation depth on the order of 6-feet deep to install the new storm drain system. The excavation may require removal of three existing trees and one tree stump. Following installation of the storm drain system, portions of Bay Avenue and Willow Road within the project limits will be paved.
