  2. Project Area

  3. Maplewood Mudflats Maplewood Mud Flats Conservation Area New Dollarton ROW

  4. Environmentally Sensitive Area • Maplewood Mudflats Conservation Area. • Protect a rare & vital Burrard Inlet ecosystem • Groundwater dependencies. • Water Quality. • Wildlife habitat & migration corridors.

  5. Scope of the Project • New Roads Constructed. • Dollarton Highway Realignment – 1.1 km major arterial, 4 lane divided • Riverside Drive East – 0.3 km major collector, 4 lane undivided. • Other roads – 0.9 km local commercial/industrial, 2 lane undivided. • Carried out in 5 phases starting in 1999 and completed in 2003 • Total cost of project approx $8 Million

  6. Project Catchment Area – 40.6 Ha.

  7. Technical Requirements • Drainage Design • Must service the entire drainage area. • Safe disposal of storm water. • Groundwater recharge • Minimize post-development flow impacts. • Provide overflows to storm sewer for large storms

  8. Storm Sewer System

  9. Existing Site Conditions • Native soils - well graded sandy gravel / gravelly sand • High water table (anywhere from 1.0m to 5m below surface • Measured hydraulic conductivity 1x10-3 to 4x10-3 m/s (medium permeability) • Flat terrain – road grades from 0.5% to 3.7%

  10. Design Considerations • Incorporate groundwater recharge into the design . • Used dispersal drains for 49 of the 69 catch basins installed. • Use gasketed joints for storm sewers to avoid groundwater table draw down. • Include trench dams to prevent groundwater from following trench lines to the outfall.

  15. Marine Outfall Adapted O&G Chamber design based on previous research & experience. Design low flow bypass in sewer main to divert water into chamber when most needed. Better treatment (TSS removal) and less frequent maintenance, virtually no re-suspension of entrained sediment.

  16. Marine Outfall Oil & Grit Interceptor

  17. Marine Outfall • Riparian planting plan for rip rap slope between elevations 2.5 and the top of the slope • Ecopockets planted @ 1 plant per 1.5 m2 or as directed by the environmental monitor • Riparian planting stock • Red osier dogwood • Black Hawthorn • Pacific WIllow
