PROJECT PURPOSE:

Basic: Drainage Development

Overall: The purpose of this project is to increase the stormwater capacity of the local drainage system and to minimize damage to nearby residences caused by excessive flooding.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The applicant requests authorization for the installation of a 3.4-acre detention pond, the installation of subsurface drainage, and the cleanout and grubbing of two drainage canals, Lateral L-10D & M-10 Canal. The project drainage outfall will be diverted through the proposed detention pond and then reconnected to the Acadian Acres subsurface drainage system at the meeting point of the Lateral L-10D and the M-10 Canal. The drainage improvements include the removal of an existing 72" Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP), two existing 42" RCPs, an existing 12" RCP, and an existing 15" RCP. Two existing catch basins will be removed, and a new catch basin will be installed. The storm drainage pipe that will allow inflow into the detention pond from the Acadian Acres subdivision is a 72” subsurface RCP extending from Monterey Street and outfalling into the upstream end of the detention pond. The outfall structure of the proposed detention pond is a 42” RCP which stubs into a catch basin with an open inlet top set 6” below the top bank of the pond that will serve as the pond overflow structure. The construction of the pond will require excavating approximately 27,190 cubic yards/17 acres of earthworks and installing 1,100 cubic yards/0.151 acres of rip rap and 144 cubic yards/0.089 acres of concrete swale, all in uplands. 0.07 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands are proposed to be impacted.
