Shawnee Justice Center Stormwater BMP Construction Begins
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.
Project Status:
The design for the project has been completed by Schlagel & Associates, P.A. Construction began on Monday April 12. Construction is being completed by McAnany Construction and Arbor Masters.
