  • City of Davenport WRR19-002
    Davenport Sponsored Project Application Concept DUCK CREEK WATERSHED ASSESSMENT SUMMARY This sponsored project application focuses on the Duck Creek watershed and urban runoff and bacterial impairment issues being experienced therein. A watershed assessment, called the Duck Creek Watershed Management Plan (DCWMP), was completed for Duck Creek in 2011 (Appendix A). The DCWMP illustrates a correlation between impervious surface and bacterial loads. The sub-watersheds with the highest bacterial loads are the ones with the most impervious surface area. Therefore, addressing urban runoff from impervious surfaces is a key focus of this application. Duck Creek Watershed – Bacterial Impairment The Duck Creek Watershed is located entirely in Scott County, Iowa. The watershed encompasses the urban sectors of the city of Davenport, the city of Bettendorf and rural Scott County (see Figure 1). Duck Creek is not supporting two of the intended uses of the stream: primary contact recreation (Class A1 use) and children’s recreation, (Class A3 use). Primary contact recreation includes activities that involve direct contact with the water such as swimming and wading. Children’s recreation is similar, but specific to activities or locations where children contact the water. Neither designated use is currently supported in Duck Creek due to high levels of indicator bacteria called Escherichia coli (E. coli) measured in the stream. High E. coli levels in a waterbody can indicate the presence of potentially harmful bacteria and viruses (also called pathogens). Humans can become ill if they come into contact with and/or ingest water that contains pathogens. Sources of bacteria in the Duck Creek Watershed are as follows: 1.

  • 100335 City of Davenport Green City.Pdf
    Recycled paper? Check. Hybrid cars in fleet? Yes. LED traffic signals? Years ago. Waterless urninals? Sure, along with an internationally recognized sewage treatment plant. Green roofs? Brown at the moment, but Spring will soon be here. Home grown fuels? Of course, this is Iowa. CNU membership? That, a revised zoning code and multiple new urban projects underway. Signatory to the US Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement? Done. Paperless office? Ah…we’re trying… The City of Davenport’s “Green City” initiative is a key strategy to lead the revitalization of our region. A historic city on the banks of the Mississippi in the heart of the farm belt, Davenport long led the Quad Cities with a proud manufacturing history. But, like many old manufacturing cities, we lost jobs by the hundreds and thousands and suffered double digit percentage population losses as globalized manufacturing hit the community hard as the last century closed. Some thought Davenport was to be another cast off America city, who had seen its heyday and now watched on the sidelines as the nation recast its lot with sprawling sunbelt and suburban communities. As a national strategy, urban disinvestment is neither pretty nor sustainable. Luckily, Davenport suffers neither from a lack of Midwestern resilience nor pluck. We are the place where railroads first crossed the Mississippi, opening the west and giving jazz to the nation as river roots music traveled up the river and morphed east / west along the tracks. We are the largest American city that lives with the river that gives us life without costly and environmentally suspect levees (more on this to follow).
