PENNVEST Pro-Fi Phase 5
Background:
CRW is employing decentralized green/grey stormwater control infrastructure to manage stormwater runoff and prevent flows from entering the combined sewer system, thereby reducing combined sewer overflow (CSO) activity. Planning-area-specific CSO control targets were established for the three planning areas (Uptown, Lower Front, and Lower Paxton Creek) where baseline controls are less effective at reducing CSOs. The 2020-2021 planning effort is identifying high-ranking GSI projects to design and construct with PENNVEST Stormwater Programmatic Financing.
.
Project Purpose:
The planning effort is focused on the wet weather control within the three Priority Planning Areas identified in the alternative evaluation in Section 8 of the City Beautiful H2O Program Plan. Planning-area-specific CSO control targets are established for the three planning areas (Uptown, Lower Front, and Lower Paxton Creek) where baseline controls are less effective at reducing CSOs.
Project Summary:
Design and construction of green stormwater infrastructure to manage approximately 9-13 acres of impervious area located in Lower Paxton Creek Planning Area/Uptown Planning Area/Lower Front Planning Area annually.
Project design will be funded by PayGo.
The project construction will be financed by a PENNVEST low-interest loan.
Locations:
- Lower Paxton Creek
- Lower Front
- Uptown
