Crane
Strand Regional Stormwater Facility
Singhofen
& Associates, Inc. (SAI) of Winter Park, Florida was contracted by
both Seminole and Oranges Counties to prepare a
stormwater master plan for the highly urbanized 92-square mile Little
Econlockhatchee River Watershed. ICPR was used to model over
1,100 drainage basins and nodes.
Crane
Strand is a tributary to the Little Econlockhatchee River and was
identified as a potential flooding
problem. Approximately 44 homes are predicted to flood during a 100-year storm and 12 roads
are expected
to be inundated for the 10-year storm. Crane Strand was also listed
(section 303(d)) as an impaired water body by the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation.
Seminole
County asked SAI to investigate various alternatives to
alleviate flooding concerns and simultaneously reduce pollutant loads. In all, 15
alternatives were analyzed and 13 different locations were identified for potential regional stormwater
facilities. The alternatives were
evaluated for a series of specific design criteria including hydraulic
performance using ICPR, pollutant removal capacity, initial costs,
$/pollutant removed, $/structure protected, O&M requirements,
implementation considerations, social acceptability, permitting, and
reliability.
The
top five ranked alternatives were presented to the County for review and
construction documents and permitting for two priority locations were
fast-tracked.
