Purpose

PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:

Discussion:

(1) The Lake Hampton and North Armistead Avenue Project, will reduce repetitive flooding experienced on a critical transportation corridor, increase stormwater runoff storage capacity, improve water quality, create safe and accessible public walking and biking amenities, and invest in protecting natural ecosystems present at the site.

(2) The Sunset Creek Urban Channel Naturalization Project, will enhance nutrient removal to improve water quality, restore the natural connectivity and floodway of the tidal channel, improve buffers, improve the safety of the channel, pilot different channel lining products, and provide additional stormwater storage within the watershed.

(3) The Billy Woods Canal Project, is designed to increase upstream water storage in the canal, with the goal of both reducing downstream flooding and increasing the volume of stormwater that is treated to improve water quality following high intensity rain events. The project will also create public access to green and blue space and enhance native habitats.

(4) The Big Bethel Blueway; Albany Drive at Big Bethel Road Project, will reduce flooding in its drainage shed by slowing and storing water in an existing drainage canal. The project will create public access to green and blue space, enhance native habitats, and improve water quality.

Funding provided by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Community Flood Preparedness Fund Grant for these projects will support project design and construction. T...
