PROJECT DETAILS:
The City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) has the responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the detention pools at the Miller Showers area for the purpose of stormwater management. This includes dredging as needed to maintain storm water capacities and periodic maintenance on the sediment traps. These storm water pools must be dredged to maintain their hydraulic capacity. The solids removed must be dried to a range from 21%- 23% solids content and transported to a permitted landfill. Total quantity to remove is assumed to be about 2,900 cubic yards.
Hydraulically dredge 5.56 acres of open water in two ponds at Miller Showers Park to remove excess sediment. Pump water from the dredging project into four 100-foot by 30-foot geotextile sediment tubes located east of the stream north of the two ponds before releasing the water back into an Unnamed Tributary to Griffy Creek. After completion of the dredging the material will need to be dewatered to a range from 21% to 23% solids content and must be able to be disposed of in a traditional landfill. The contractor must keep records of loads of material removed. The dewatered solids must then be transported to a final disposal location APPROVED BY THE CITY within a 75-mile radius of the disposal area.
All specifications in the associated 401 WQC permit must be followed.
