The Stormwater Master Plan update will involve an integrated approach to stormwater and watershed management that will result in the development of management solutions and policies that maintain, enhance and restore local watersheds and meet engineering, environmental and land use needs.

The update includes:

Bio-Swale with Curb Inlet

• Reviewing, updating and revising elements of the existing master plan, such as basin and land use analysis;
• Stormwater computer modeling;
• Goals, policies & code related to stormwater management;
• Development of Capital Improvement Program projects;
• Financial analysis and plan;
• Addressing state and federal requirements; and
• Public involvement process.

Permeable Pavers

Low Impact Development (LID) principles and practices will be explored in the development of the master plan update. The primary stormwater management objective for LID is to replicate the pre-development hydrologic regime of watersheds through infiltrating, filtering, storing, evaporating and detaining runoff close to its source. Villebois includes a number of LID principles and practices. The Public Works Standards will be revised to recognize the use of LID practices for stormwater management, subject to approval by the City Council.

Staff expects to complete the update to the Stormwater Master Plan by Spring of 2009, which will include public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.

If you have any questions about the update, please contact Kerry Rappold, Natural Resources Program Manager, at 503-570-1570 or rappold@ci.wilsonville.or.us.
