What is a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)?
• Currently averages 4 overflows per year
• Dept. of Ecology requires no more than 1 overflow per year by 2015.

Contribution to the Combined Sewer System
• 45% of stormwater flows entering the combined sewer come from the project area
• Stormwater runoff from the streets drain to combined sewer
PROJECT AREA

What is Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI)?
Engineered
infrastructure to
manage stormwater
quantity and quality
using soils and
vegetation (sometimes
in combination with
decentralized storage)
to capture, infiltrate,
evaporate or reuse
stormwater.

GSI for CSO Control
High Point, Seattle Port Townsend
![Page 9: Barton CSO Project Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI)...High Point, Seattle Port Townsend . Why this Neighborhood? •Predominately connected •45% flow contribution •Initial](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050509/5f9a4b56ecbeaa1a0821fe74/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why this Neighborhood? • Predominately connected
• 45% flow contribution
• Initial high level analysis appears there were enough blocks connected to meet the CSO control target
• Many flat or slightly sloping streets
• Wide planter strips on many streets
• Can be constructed in the Right of Way
Project scope:
• Construct bioretention swales in the planter strips in the city owned right of way on up to 40 blocks to control CSOs

Initial Geotechnical Findings
• Surface soils have low infiltration (drainage) rates
• There are deeper soils that are excellent for conveying water in the Vashon advance outwash for stormwater infiltration
