FICURE 2: VEGETATED FILTER STRIF Various factors were considered in identifying feasible locations for the biofiltration swales. lt is preferred to locate biofiltration swales adjacent to paved roads and within the public right-of-way. To be considerate of the historical context of the City, buildings contributing to the historical district were added to the inventory of data. Biofiltration facilities were located away from these buildings to the maximum extent feasible. \Mere a location is ideal due to site topography, proximity to existing storm sewer and estimated runoff from the water quality storm, biofiltration facilities may be located adjacent to those historical buildings to maximize slormwater treatment benefit (such as on East Washington Avenue). Biofiltration facilities were also located at least 300 feet from wetlands according to City Policy H2.5. Lastly, bioliltration swales were prioritized in subbasins that were 1.5 acres or larger and produced at least 0.1 cubic feet per second of runoff during the water quality storm event. These subbasins are presented as High Priority lor Treatment Subbasins in Exhibit 3. The various site constraints and locations of the proposed biofiltration swales are shown on Exhibit 3. Wthin the CIP I Treatment Assessment Area, biofiltration swales are proposed along North First Street, North A Street, East Washington Avenue, and East Pennsylvania Avenue. Within the remainder of the Treatment Assessment Area, biofiltration swales are proposed along North Sixth Street, West Third Street, Second Street, South First Street, and portions of West Nevada Avenue, West Utah Avenue, West Arizona Avenue, Dakota Avenue, and West Montana Avenue. These biofiltration swales will be shallow and willhave overflow risers as well as underdrains that will connect into the existing storm sewer netwo*. For the unsewered areas of the City south of Califomia Avenue, vegetated filter strips may be located adjacent to roadways where compatible with street slopes and adjacent land uses. These would provide runoff treatment benefits that have not yet been quantified or mapped with this study, This is a general recommendation for this area of town or other parts of the City where biofiltration is deemed not viable. 7
