Purpose of the Project
The pollutant reduction achieved by this project will be applied toward the implementation of the City's local phosphorus total maximum daily load action plan.
How the Project Improves Water Quality
This project includes the design and construction of water quality improvements at Providence Park to construct a stormwater wet pond and drainage improvements. These water quality improvements will reduce nutrients, sediment, and bacteria from stormwater discharging to the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake Bay. Drainage improvements included with the project will reduce flooding at the VDOT Traffic Operations Center and surrounding area. The project will also incorporate public education aspects and amenities for residents visiting the park.
