FILE NOS: ER20-186

Public project to convert the existing flood control basin to provide stormwater treatment via bioretention prior to discharge to the Guadalupe River. The proposed project would allow dry weather runoff and low flows from the upstream watershed to be routed into the detention basin after trash capture and sedimentation. Water would then flow through the bioretention basin to receive bio-treatment. The treated stormwater would then be captured by underdrains and discharged to the pump station wet well; the treated water would then be discharged to the Guadalupe River via the existing 84-inch outfall. The project would also include the installation of park-like enhancements, such as a boardwalk viewing platform, interpretive signage, a perimeter trail, and public art, to provide recreational, aesthetic, and educational benefits for the community. The area surrounding the detention basin would be planted with new trees, native grasses, and a pollinator garden.

LOCATION

The 5.2-acre project site is in North San José between Riverview Parkway and the Guadalupe River.
