Storm drain marking is an educational program designed to inform citizens about the hazards of dumping pollutants into storm drains. The placards remind people that storm drains flow untreated, directly into local streams and creeks. Ashland’s storm drains are NOT connected to the sewage treatment plant. By placing storm drain markers, you can take an active roll in preventing pollution in your neighborhood. Volunteers may also distribute door hangers, informing citizens about the proper disposal of chemicals that could harm wildlife and pollute waterways. Storm drain marking helps build community and mobilize grass roots environmental protection. Marking also helps educate your neighbors about the importance of watershed protection. If you are interested, you can become a neighborhood leader for your own Storm Drain Stomp event.

  • CHAPTER-6 Cross-Drainage and Drop Structures 6.1 Aqueducts and Canal Inlets and Outlets 6.1.1 Introduction
    Cross-Drainage and Drop Structures CHAPTER-6 Cross-Drainage and Drop Structures 6.1 Aqueducts and canal inlets and outlets 6.1.1 Introduction The alignment of a canal invariably meets a number of natural streams (drains) and other structures such as roads and railways, and may sometimes have to cross valleys. Cross drainage works are the structures which make such crossings possible. They are generally very costly, and should be avoided if possible by changing the canal alignment and/or by diverting the drains. 6.1.2 Aqueducts An aqueduct is a cross-drainage structure constructed where the drainage flood level is below the bed of the canal. Small drains may be taken under the canal and banks by a concrete or masonry barrel (culvert), whereas in the case of stream crossings it may be economical to flume the canal over the stream (e.g. using a concrete trough, Fig. 6.1(a)). When both canal and drain meet more or less at the same level the drain may be passed through an inverted siphon aqueduct (Fig. 6.1(d)) underneath the canal; the flow through the aqueduct here is always under pressure. If the drainage discharge is heavily silt laden a silt ejector should be provided at the upstream end of the siphon aqueduct; a trash rack is also essential if the stream carries floating debris which may otherwise choke the entrance to the aqueduct. 6.1.3 Superpassage In this type of cross-drainage work, the natural drain runs above the canal, the canal under the drain always having a free surface flow.

  • 1 Isaac River Condition, Condition Trajectory and Management
    Memo Subject Response to information request from DEHP From Rohan Lucas Distribution BMA Date 12 February 2016 Project Broadmeadow EA amendment – Watercourse Subsidence 1 Isaac River condition, condition trajectory and management 1.1 Request The administering authority requires more information relating to the proactive management strategies that BMA will adopt to ensure the condition trajectory of the diversion is not negatively impacted by subsidence. 1.2 Response Understanding the incremental risk posed by subsidence The Isaac River diversion, constructed in the mid 1980’s was undertaken to a different standard to that which would be adopted today. The diversion underwent major erosional adjustment in the 1980’s and 1990’s (see Figure 2). Following some management intervention in the mid-late 1990’s (including timber pile fields) and a period without any major flow events from 1991 to 2007 (refer to Figure 1), the diversion underwent substantial recovery. This recovery included the deposition of benches against toe of bank and colonisation of those benches with riparian vegetation, providing a near continuous coverage along the diversion. These vegetated benches protect the near vertical, erodible upper banks from erosion in the majority of flow events (refer Figure 3). The diversion, which reduced river length by several kilometres, was constructed with two drop structures to compensate for the increase in gradient. One of these structures is now largely redundant and the other has been subject to damage from flow events and repair on numerous occasions. The remaining functional structure performs its design intent during smaller flows but is ineffective in larger flows in reducing energy conditions sufficiently.

  • Allen County Storm Drain Marking Guide022510
    The Allen County Surveyor’s Office has established a storm drain marking program to involve and educate the community of the harms of dumping pollutants down the storm drains. The following guidelines are provided to assist individuals, groups or organizations in planning, implementing, and preparing a successful storm drain marking event and to provide information on what citizens can do to prevent or reduce pollution that enters our waterways through storm drains. What is a Storm Drain? A storm drain is a network of underground pipes designed to control flooding by transporting stormwater from urban areas to a waterbody. The storm drain marking program involves marking storm drain inlets. The following are typical examples of storm inlets. What is Storm Drain Marking? Storm drain marking is labeling a storm drain inlet with a pre-printed marker, tile, sticker, or stencil that reads “ Dump No Waste - Drains to River ”, "Drains to Stream ”, or a similar written message that specifies the waterbody to which the storm drain inlet drains. Allen County has chosen a vinyl marker that comes in circular or rectangular form that is applied to the inlet with an adhesive or tie straps depending on the type of inlet being marked. Why Should We Mark Storm Drains? • Storm drain marking informs others about the street-to-river connection. Allen County 1 Storm Drain Marking Guide Surveyor’s Office • Many people may not realize that water flowing into storm drains or any material that is dumped or washes into the storm drains is not treated before it empties into a river, stream, or pond.

  • Drop Structures
    DROP STRUCTURES 1 DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE Drop structures (also known as grade controls, sills, or weirs) are low-elevation structures that span the entire width of the channel, creating an abrupt drop in channel bed and water surface elevation in a downstream direction. Drop structures have been used extensively in Washington State to stabilize channel grades, improve fish passage, and to reduce erosion. Generally speaking, in fish bearing waters, vertical drops must not exceed 1 foot [WAC 220-110-070]; lesser drops are often required to accommodate certain species and age classes of fish. Drop Structures are designed to spill and direct flow such that there is a distinct drop in water surface elevation at normal low flows. The purpose of drop structures may include but is not limited to: • redistribute or dissipate energy; • stabilize the channel bed; • restore a step pool morphology to an altered channel • limit channel incision; • limit bank erosion by directing flow away from an eroding bank; • modify the channel bed profile and form by promoting collection, sorting and deposition of sediment; • create structural and hydraulic diversity in uniform channels; • improve fish passage over natural and artificial barriers by backwatering the upstream reach; • scour the channel bed, creating holding pools for fish and other aquatic life; • provide backwater (depth) in groundwater fed side channels; or • raise the bed of an incised stream to reconnect it with its floodplain. Drop structures may resemble porous weirs in appearance. But while drop structures direct water over the structure and are applied primarily to modify the profile of a channel, porous weirs allow water to flow through the structure and are applied primarily to redirect or concentrate flow.

  • How Do Storm Drains Work?
    How do Storm Drains Work? The storm drainage system helps prevent floods by diverting rainwater into nearby waterways. During rainstorms, water runs off of buildings, roads, and other hard surfaces, picking up trash and pollutants along the way. The water and pollutants flow into storm drains and through underground pipes directly into the nearest stream, pond or water reservoir. What About the Drains in My House? The drains in your house are part of a different system, the wastewater system. Dirty water from inside your home flows into underground pipes that are connected to a wastewater treatment plant. The water from your home is cleaned before it is released back into creeks and streams. Stormwater is Not Treated? That’s right! The storm drainage system carries rainwater directly to creeks, streams, ponds and reservoirs. That is why it’s important to keep trash, motor oil, pesticides, and other chemicals from entering the storm drain – everything that goes in comes out in our waterways. Polluted water is harmful to fish, wildlife, and humans. Stormwater Provides Drinking Water to Us and Others Downstream Never pour or dump anything down a storm drain Keep streets clean Dispose of trash properly Rake leaves and debris away from storm drains Apply lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to directions Call Wilmington’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (below) to report pollution problems All Water is Recycled The same water that existed on earth in the beginning is still here. It continually moves around, through and above our planet as water vapor, liquid, and ice. The water that comes from our faucets may have been drinking water for the first man and woman.
