This project is needed to improve water quality in the Upper North Landing River Watershed and the larger Southern Rivers Watershed.
Construction was completed in November 2025. The contractor will conduct quarterly maintenance and inspections on the newly installed system for the first year after construction.
Stormwater collects loose soil, trash, and nutrients as it flows over the ground to the stormwater system. Stormwater isn’t treated before it flows into the North Landing River.
To help reduce pollutants from stormwater runoff, the City constructs stormwater management facilities that help remove pollutants before they reach our waterways. The project will improve water quality in the North Landing River. The pollutant removal benefits will be applied toward the City's requirements for the total maximum daily load.
A manufactured treatment device (MTD) is being installed to remove pollutants from stormwater. This unit is a filtering treatment which is an underground structure that uses a series of filters to remove and trap sediment, nutrients, and trash, allowing cleaner water to continue through the stormwater system.
