Major Maintenance Project

Springfield District

Project WO# 1313536, 1313548, 1313554

Description

The Maintenance and Stormwater Management Division (MSMD), Department of Public Works and

Environmental Services, has completed a sediment removal and outfall restoration project at three

underground detention trenches (UG0494, UG0495, UG0496) located at Poplar Tree Elementary

School. The project consisted of vacuum cleaning 10 tons of accumulated sediment, fluid, and other

material from three blocked underground detention trenches. Control structures were cleared and

positive flow was restored to three outfalls. The project restored functionality as required by the County’s

MS4 Permit. The completion of this project will maximize the water quality benefits and provide

downstream protection.
