Ephemeral Stormwater Outfall Restoration Park Drive RSC Fort Dupont Park (National Park Service), SE Washington DC DCWater Project Goals: • Provide stable conveyance ofofof 100100100- 100 ---yearyear storm event through thethethe design ofofof boulder cascades andandand cobble riffles, thus minimizing sediment loading tototo receiving stream channel, • Minimize impacts tototo well vegetated, steep slopes past thethethe gully’s toptoptop ofofof bank • Maximize nutrient uptake andandand improve water quality tototo thethethe unnamed tributary ofofof thethethe Anacostia River bybyby promoting infiltration, detention, andandand seepage through thethethe sand/mulch fill,fill,fill, which increases denitrification andandand sediment filtering, • Dissipate energy atatat thethethe existing outfall discharge point through thethethe design ofofof aaa series ofofof dissipation poolspools. ... Additional Project Benefits: • Enhance thethethe ecological functions ofofof thethethe sitesitesite through thethethe recharging ofofof groundwater andandand creation ofofof riffle/pools complexes, • Attenuate stormwater peak discharges tototo thethethe downstream, unnamed tributary ofofof thethethe Anacostia River through thethethe conversion ofofof surface flow tototo subsubsub- sub ---surfacesurface flow, • Preserve valuable over story trees bybyby minimizing construction impacts tototo thethethe adjacent woodlands, • Install aaa viable demonstration project tototo showcase costcost- ---effectiveeffective andandand ecologically appropriate restoration techniquestechniques. ...
