The pollutant reduction achieved by this project will be applied towards implementation of the City's local phosphorus total maximum daily load action plan.
The project design is underway and will be completed by August 2026. Construction is planned to begin in April 2030 and is expected to be completed in February 2032. The project is funded by Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 100642.
The project will improve downstream water quality by removing pollutants and nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen from stormwater runoff. 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.
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.
