Description

As the agency reported it.

IT will highlight green infrastructure design elements and quantify the expected outcomes of stormwater interception for sediment, road salt, heavy metals and petroleum products. Educational signage, school curriculum and community engagement tools will be developed in order to inform local stakeholders and promote techniques that can be employed. The primary goal of this project is to protect water quality and promote healthy fish populations. Although urban growth in kenai and soldotna is advantageous for the local economy, transition from vegetated landscapes to impervious cover can increase stormwater runoff. This in turn can increase the volume of water and quantity of water quality constituents (sediment, heavy metals like copper and zinc, nutrients, salt) that are delivered to receiving surface water bodies. This is especially important in urbanizing locations near the kenai river, known nationally for its recreational and subsistence salmon fishing. This project aims to reduce impacts of stormwater runoff on receiving water bodies. A goal of this project is also to engage community members about stormwater runoff management. This project creates a communications piece for nature-based stormwater runoff practices to illustrate practice locations and benefits, in terms of water quality and impacts to fish.
