streams, minimize water pollution and to operate the storm water system in a more effective manner to fully
comply with state and federal regulatory requirements. This will be accomplished by infrastructure
reconstruction and system maintenance, master planning, enhanced development review, and increased
public education and outreach.
The scope of this project consists of the preparation of plans and specifications for drainage improvements
to Longstraw Channel located between Buckwheat Street and Longstraw Drive from Strawberry Way to
Beach Street. The concrete channel has failed and needs to be re-constructed to City standards.

proposed.

Department.
