Summary of Stormwater Retrofit Projects Centreville Heights As part of the Town of Centreville’s stormwater management effort to reduce stormwater runoff and to meet the goals of the Corsica River Watershed Restoration Strategy, the Town awarded a bid in July 2012 to a local engineering firm Davis, Moore and Shearon to provide engineering services for the preparation of a storm water quality retrofit design for the Centreville Heights project, located at the south end of Chestnut Street. The goal of the project is to design a plan to intercept existing flows from the terminus of Chestnut Street, treat it for water quality in a bio retention area and discharge it safely through a residential lot, which fronts Route 305 and into a SHA yard inlet. The proposed retrofit will treat approximately 3.0 acres, 1.0 acre of which is impervious and will ultimately drain to Gravel Run. Final plans are currently being designed and construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. This project is completely funded by a 319 grant. Newnam Ave As part of the Town of Centreville’s stormwater management effort to reduce stormwater runoff and to meet the goals of the Corsica River Watershed Restoration Strategy, the Town awarded a bid in July 2012 to a local engineering firm Lane Engineering to provide engineering services for the preparation of a storm water quality retrofit design for Newnam Ave, located at the intersection with Windsor Ave. The goal of the project is to design a plan that will intercept existing flows from 3 inlets which drain directly to non-tidal wetlands of Millstream. Flows from the existing roads will be treated for water quality in a best management practice located in the Town right of way and discharged safely into the non-tidal wetlands to the west of the Millstream Trail. The proposed retrofit will treat approximately 3.0 acres, 1.0 acre of which is impervious. This is the first retrofit project for the Millstream subwatershed. Final plans are currently being designed, and construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. This project is completely funded by a 319 grant. Chesterfield Ave As part of the Town of Centreville’s stormwater management effort to reduce stormwater runoff and to meet the goals of the Corsica River Watershed Restoration Strategy, the Town awarded a bid in Spring 2012 to a local engineering firm McCrone, Inc., to provide engineering services for the preparation of a storm water quality retrofit design for Chesterfield Ave Pocket Wetland. The goal of the project is to intercept existing flows from the pipe which drains directly to tidal waters of Millstream. Flows from the existing roads will be treated for water quality in a pocket wetland located in the Town’s South Pocket Park on Front Street and discharge safely into the tidal waters. The proposed retrofit will treat approximately 3.0 acres, 1.0 acre of which is impervious. Final plans are completed and critical area approval was granted in November 2012. A MDE joint application will be applied for in February 2013 and construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. This project is completely funded by a 319 grant. Centreville Waste Water Treatment Plant, Phase 2 Stream Restoration The Town completed outfall improvements to the existing 24” storm drain outfall located at the Centreville Waste Water Treatment Plant in February 2012. The intent of the project was to remove and dispose of the damaged concrete headwall and broken 24” concrete pipe, re-grade the slopes at the outfall, and install three vegetated plunge pools in a stepped fashion constructed with large sandstone boulders and smaller silica cobbles. The Town awarded a bid in July 2012 to a local engineering firm Environmental Concern to provide engineering services for Phase 2. The goal of the project is to design a plan that will improve approximately 300 linear feet of impaired stream, assess degree of erosion, 6 DNR Trust Fund Projects and propose as natural as possible restoration. It is estimated the project will have the following reductions: N 6lbs/yr, P 1.05 lbs/yr and SS 0.38tons/yr based on stream restoration reduction rates. Gravel Run is the receiving stream. Preliminary plans are complete and the project will require a Category B, joint evaluation from MDE. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. 319 grant funds will be used for project management and construction inspection and Trust Fund FY12 monies will be used for design and construction. Trust Fund FY 13 monies are ear marked for a quality management retrofit upstream of this outfall, Powell Street Parking Lot Retrofit. This retrofit will be the first in the upstream area of the 10+ acre sub watershed. continued on pg. 7
DNR Trust Fund Projects (cont. from pg. 4) The following projects are funded by DNR Trust Fund 2010 FY 13: Powell Street Parking Lot Retrofit The Town awarded a bid in November 2012 to a local engineering firm Davis, Moore and Shearon to provide engineering services for the preparation of a storm water quality retrofit design for the parking lot owned by the Town located behind the Goodwill Volunteer Fire Department. The proposed retrofit will treat approximately 2.0 acres. The area is highly impervious and has no landscaping or stormwater management. Approximately 5,000 sq. ft of impervious surface will be removed and replaced with landscaping. The parking lot drains to an inlet which is piped directly to the newly improved outfall at the waste water treatment plant. Final plans are being completed, and construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. 319 funds will be used for project management and construction inspection and Trust Fund FY13 monies will be used for design and construction. Pennsylvania Ave Retrofit The Town awarded a bid in November 2012 to a local engineering firm Davis, Moore and Shearon to provide engineering services for the preparation of a storm water quality retrofit design for Pennsylvania Ave which is located in a revitalized retail/apartment area in the heart of the Town of Centreville. The area is highly impervious with on street parallel parking and has no stormwater management. The proposed retrofit will treat approximately 3.0 acres for water quality and correct a drainage problem. The retrofit will be located on Town property where the old railroad station was located. Final plans are being completed and construction is expected to begin in summer 2013. 319 funds will be used for project management and construction inspection and Trust Fund FY13 monies will be used for design and construction. Removal of Town Dam The Town of Centreville partnered with American Rivers in the Spring, 2012 for a grant to perform a feasibility study for removal of the dam located on Gravel Run. The study can be found on the Town’s website: www.townofcentreville.org. Baltimore-based engineering firm McCormick Taylor was awarded the feasibility study bid. The Centreville Dam is ranked in the top 10% of all dams (nearly 4,000 blockages) in the Bay watershed. The long term goal is to remove the obsolete dam and restore fish passage to up to thirteen miles. Historically, Gravel Run supported alewife herring, blueback herring, yellow perch, white perch and American eel. Removing the dam will decrease localized flooding particularly at the adjacent Centreville Police Department. Other benefits include: improved water quality, reduced stream temperatures, and increased dissolved oxygen. This project will serve as a fantastic opportunity for education and outreach given its location in the Town of Centreville and its location in the Corsica River Watershed. Façade Improvement Grant (continued from pg. 1) The Façade Improvement Program provides reimbursement grants ranging from $500 to $10,000 per qualifying application to owners and tenants in recognition of the positive impact that individual building improvements can have on the overall appearance, quality, and vitality of Centreville’s downtown. Eligibility To be eligible for the Façade Improvement Program, a building is required to be at least 25 years old and used in whole or in part for commercial purposes. Mixed-use buildings are preferred, and must be located within Centreville’s designated Main Street area Property owners or business tenants who will make at least $500 in qualifying façade improvements are eligible to receive a matching grant up to $10,000.
