Whereas, Wet detention ponds are one of the established and cost effective methods that can be implemented to remove sediments from large tributary areas and will aid the City in reaching the required TSS reduction goal; and

Whereas, The wet detention pond will be sufficiently designed to treat storm water discharge from the entire 329 acre tributary area of storm sewer system number 2057; and

Whereas, The City Engineer will submit a signed Environmental Hazard Assessment form; and

Whereas, The operation of these grants begins on January 1, 2011 and ends on December 3...
