Project Overview
This project consists of Improvements to the existing East Towne Detention Basin. This will be done with the addition of two engineered wet detention cells within the existing detention basin limits. The current detention basin was designed prior to current stormwater requirements and accepts approximately 189.1 acres of fully developed commercial runoff. The improvements will be designed to improve the treatment of the stormwater for sediment, phosphorus, trash and peak flow. Along with stormwater improvements, maintenance access for the proposed wet detention cells will added and the constructed areas will be seeded and maintained.
