Existing Detention Basin
The Teedyuskung Creek Restoration Project
Retrofitting Stormwater Basins
|
|
During the
construction of the Woodloch Springs Golf Course and Community, an
extensive network of 16 retention basins and 4 wet ponds was installed to
provide volume and peak flow control. An evaluation of the current
stormwater system found that the basins were operating well and that
minimal erosion was occurring at the basin outfalls or within the rock
lined stormwater conveyance channels. |
| The basins were originally designed to maintain the pre-development peak runoff flows. However, they were not designed to provide water quality benefits. The basins were retrofitted to provide water quality benefits. This was accomplished by modifying the outlet structures to increase the detention time of stormwater runoff in the basins. |
