Generally, the project focus would be to offline 6.4 cubic feet per second (cfs) of stormwater from direct untreated discharge to Portage Creek. The stormwater inputs would be directed to a stormwater treatment system to capture and treat runoff coupled with restored floodplain and riparian habitat with an educational walking path.
The project would combine stormwater treatment with enhanced floodplain connectivity and flood capacity of Portage Creek while providing an opportunity to link pedestrian pathways with educational signage. Stormwater would enter the project area and flow to Portage Creek through a series of constructed sediment traps, pools, and swales to reduce direct stormwater inputs and pollutant loads.
