Thurston
County Stormwater Capital Facilities Projects
Each
year, the Thurston County Storm and Surface Water Utility designs and
builds projects to reduce flooding, pollution and erosion caused by
stormwater runoff. The projects are financed by the Storm and Surface
Water Utility's "capital rate."
Projects may involve
replacing failing drywells and catch basins (storm drains), building
stormwater ponds, installing "infiltration galleries," or installing
separating devices that remove pollutants. (See "A
Non-Engineer's Guide to Stormwater Terms" for descriptions of these
approaches.)
When deciding which
projects to approve, Thurston County commissioners often draw from the
recommendations contained in
basin plans. The projects are then included in Thurston County's
"Capital Facilities Plan."
