Shawnee Justice Center Stormwater BMP Installation Complete
The installation of the stormwater treatment facilities is complete.
Location:
The Justice Center is located at Johnson Drive and Renner Road in the northeast corner of the intersection of Interstate 435 and Johnson Drive in Shawnee, Kansas (S18, T12S, R24E).
Description:
The City of Shawnee’s Justice Center
is a 28.5 acre campus constructed in 2008 prior to implementation of
the City’s water quality Best Management Practices (BMP) regulations.
The proposed project will retrofit BMPs on the site to bring the site
into compliance with the City’s current stormwater treatment
requirements in the municipal code and the NPDES requirements. The
project will also be required to implement multiple BMPs some in
treatment trains to monitor the effect of the BMPs on pollutant
concentrations in stormwater runoff from the site.
Existing stormwater facilities on the Justice Center
campus are only targeted to control stormwater peak rates. The
proposed project will retrofit water quality BMPs on the site to bring
the site into compliance with the requirements that would have been
placed on the site if constructed under the current City Stormwater
Quality Treatment ordinance. The project will design and construct
multiple BMPs. BMPs to be implemented on the site shall include but not
be limited to: Native Vegetation, Extended Dry Detention, Bio-Swale,
Bio-retention, Rain Garden,
and Extended Wet Detention unless otherwise approved by Johnson County
Stormwater Management Program. The proposed project also includes
interpretive signs, walking trail, and post-construction maintenance.
Funding:
The project received Johnson County Stormwater Management Program (SMP) Research & Development funding and was selected for 2009 ARRA Innovative Green Infrastructure Project Funding.
