<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Boca</strong> <strong>Raton</strong> Stormwater Management <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>Part I – Task 3 ReportNew Pines Stormwater Community Improvement ProjectReported Problem(s): There was only one complaint, in 2000, <strong>of</strong> flooding in a driveway on CoventryStreet. However, because the <strong>City</strong> intends a community improvement project in the area, it is advisable totake the opportunity to ensure that adequate stormwater run<strong>of</strong>f protection is provided.System Description: The <strong>City</strong>’s community improvement project will include new sidewalks, lightingand drainage. The residential portion <strong>of</strong> the area currently has no formal stormwater system, although itappears that the original intent was for stormwater run<strong>of</strong>f to infiltrate the ground in the grassed portion <strong>of</strong>the road rights-<strong>of</strong>-way.Conceptual Solution(s): The recommended conceptual project is to restore the grassed swale systemalong each <strong>of</strong> the roadways in the area. It is further recommended that the project include a publiceducation program for the residents, advising them <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> code requiring maintenance <strong>of</strong>, andrestrictions on the use <strong>of</strong>, the swales adjacent to their properties.Water Quality Impacts: The proposed conceptual solution is anticipated to have a positive impact onwater quality. Run<strong>of</strong>f will more readily enter the ground water system than it currently does. This resultsin less travel time over potentially contaminated ground surface.L:\boca\bocaswmp\A6016.03\rp02accm.docPage 55MOCK•ROOS
