Globeville Landing Outfall

• New outfall (with existing)

• Natural open channel

• Incorporating water quality

• Opportunity to re-envision park and uses

FUNDING, TIMING & NEXT STEPS

Funding for Citywide Stormwater Projects

• Denver pays for stormwater and drainage projects through wastewater fees and through partnerships when feasible

• Four types of stormwater projects:– Citywide storm improvements– Major basin projects– Urban waterways (gulches)– Water quality

• Over the last 20 years, Denver has only had 2 stormwater rate increases

• City Council is scheduled to hear full proposal for rate increase in spring 2016

Funding for Platte to Park Hill

• Platte to Park Hill: Stormwater Systems will be one of many projects paid for through wastewater fees

• Other funding partners may include:– Urban Drainage and Flood Control District– CDOT– RTD

Next Steps

• Extending the public comment window

• Ramping up community outreach between now and the selection of the preferred optiono Project updates, website, small community

meetings

• Further refinement of the draft options based on additional input

• Announcement of preferred option in early April

ADDITIONALINFORMATION

2014 Storm Drainage Master Plan

• Citywide planning tool that identifies basic stormwater needs

• Master Plan identifies and prioritizes projects, which consist of pipes that meet 5-year storm criteria

• Platte to Park Hill was not included in the master plan because it solves the 100-year event

• Modeling for Platte to Park Hill area indicated a need to consider higher level of criteria (100-year) due to high flood risk
