Corp Yard Site Improvements
Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. (SVP) mobilized onsite on Monday, 8/29. The scheduled completion for this project is Tuesday, 9/13. The improved site at the Corporation Yard will contain storm runoff onsite and prevent direct runoff into the storm drain and Deer Creek. The runoff will drain into two new retention basins onsite. The retention mix, vegetation, and plants will filter the runoff and remove pollutants. Excess flow discharged from the retention basins into the storm drain system and ultimately into Deer Creek will be clean water.
