2012 Drywell Replacement Project
This project will replace approximately 115 obsolete stormwater drywells with two-stage infiltration systems. This will improve the quality of the stormwater by removing many pollutants before it enters the groundwater. The project area is generally all remaining drywells located west of Lake Steilacoom from 112th St. SW to north side of the Oakbrook neighborhood.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to take place between June and October 2012.

Mountain View Outfall Water Quality Project
This project will retrofit an existing stormwater outfall that currently discharges untreated stormwater into a pond located just upstream of the headwaters of Flett Creek. The project will install a water quality treatment structure into the existing stormwater conveyance system upstream of the existing outfall. The treatment structure is designed to remove oil and sediment from the stormwater thus improving water quality before discharging to the pond and creek. The project will be located along the stormwater conveyance system in the vicinity of Steilacoom Blvd. and Mountain View Cemetery.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to take place in the summer of 2012.
Project Manager: Greg Vigoren, P.E.
Outfall Water Quality Program
This project will retrofit several stormwater outfalls that currently discharge untreated stormwater into various creeks and lakes in Lakewood. Depending on the location, the project will install water quality treatment structures upstream of outfalls; or remove outfalls; or reduce the amount of runoff reaching outfalls; or combinations of the above. Various treatment structures and design options will be considered depending on the charactistics of each site. The project location will be various stormwater outfalls located throughout the city.
Construction is tentatively scheduled to take place in the summer of 2012.

Clover Creek Fish Passage Project
This project is in the feasibility stage. The City will be working with Pierce County and the neighboring property owners to consider removing or bypassing a small falls on Clover Creek located approximately 600 feet upstream from the mouth of the creek at Lake Steilacoom. This would allow more fish to get upstream of the falls and continue further up into the watershed, thus opening up habitat to more fish.
This project is in the feasibility stage; construction has not been scheduled.
