Project Type: Stormwater Facility
Project Short Description:
This project will improve water quality in the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer through installation of Low
Impact Development(LID)techniques including bioin£ltration,open bottom planter boxes,and/or cartridge media
treatment,along Sprague Avenue between University and Park Roads in the City of Spokane Valley.This project will
provide treatment for total suspended solids (TSS),oil(total petroleum hydrocarbons)and will reduce the volume of
pollutants thet enter the groundwater
Project Long Description:
The City of Spokane Valley is located over the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie(SVRP)Aquifer. The SVRP Aquifer
is as an EPA designated sole source aquifer that provides drinking water to about 500.000 people. The SVRP Aquifer
is also connected to the Spokane and Little Spokane Rivers,both of which are 303(d)list impaired water bodies with
total maximum daily loads(TMDLs)in place for dissolved oxygen and dissolved metals.The entire City of Spokane

Recipient Name Cit of Spokane Valley
Valley is a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area and urban stormwater runoff is currently injected into the ground with no
pretreatment.
This project is located along two miles of Sprague Avenue, from University Avenue to Park Road. Sprague Avenue is a
five lane,one way,west bound principal arterial in a fully developed commercial zone. Both sides of the arterial are
lined with eight to twelve foot landscaped areas with mature trees that will not be removed. Stormwater in the project
area is currently collected and discharged to ground without pretreatment via approximately 75 drywells.
The RECIPIENT will retrofit approximately 60 drywells with a combination of treatment best management practices
(BMPs)that will provide at least basic treatment.The treatment facilities will be designed to capture,treat,and infiltrate
stormwater from 16 acres of pollution generating impervious surface.
The RECIPIENT will use a combination of open bottomed planter boxes,bioinfiltration swales.and Contech storm
filter cartridges. They will determine which combination of BMPs are most appropriate based on basin size,treatment
area available,public preference,and the extent of existing rights of way and easements.This project will treat
stormwater for TSS and oil.
Overall Goal:
This project will help protect and restore water quality in Washington state by reducing stormwater impacts from
existing infrastructure and development.
