However, future modification to the control structure may be required <br />depending on the grading and hydraulic requirements for future projects adjacent to the Millrace. <br />The conveyance system downstream from the control structure consists of dual box culverts <br />extending under the railroad tracks. The Millrace continues as an open channel downstream <br />from the railroad tracks and passes through another culvert at the bike path crossing prior to <br />discharging to the Willamette River. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that future development within Basin A will maintain similar drainage patterns and <br />will continue to drain to Destination Point A. Redevelopment may include new or reconfigured <br />piped conveyance systems and new outfalls to the Millrace, and the delineation of Basin A may <br />change over time. However, the existing piped conveyance systems and outfalls will remain <br />intact to some degree. There are no known capacity issues with the public drainage system for <br />Destination Point A, but redevelopment projects within Basin A will need to assess capacity <br />issues within the existing private storm drain system on a project-by-project basis. New outfalls <br />to the Millrace may be subject to additional stormwater management requirements under the <br />Endangered Species Act. Refer to Destination Point D for further discussion. <br /> <br />Riverfront Pump Station (Basin B / Destination Point B): Destination Point B is Riverfront Pump <br /> <br />Station, and is the destination point for the Basin B. The public storm drain systems within <br />Riverfront Parkway and Millrace Drive are expected to have adequate capacity and depth to fully <br />accommodate redevelopment within Basin B on the south side of the railroad tracks. The public <br />storm drain system extending north of the railroad tracks is expected to accommodate future <br />development within the existing limits of Basin B north of the railroad tracks, and may be capable <br />of serving a larger basin area east and west of the existing limits of Basin B. Future projects <br />north of the railroad tracks will need to assess pump station limitations with City staff if the limits <br />of Basin B are expanded with redevelopment. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the Riverfront Parkway pump station and the surrounding land surface is <br />within a depression. This area is below the base flood elevation at the adjacent Willamette River <br />and below the water surface elevation of the Millrace. Drainage for this area relies entirely on the <br />pumping systems and there is no overland conveyance route for floodwater to escape. Because <br />of this, special care should be taken when extending the Riverfront Parkway storm drain system <br />to the area north of the railroad tracks, to ensure that flood risks are considered. Grading <br />modifications north of the railroad tracks should be designed with similar precautions. <br />North Athletic Field Basin (Basin C / Destination Point C): <br /> <br />private piped outfall to the Willamette River located just west of Autzen footbridge and is the <br />destination point for Basin C. Redevelopment projects within the Riverfront area may utilize the <br />existing piped conveyance system upstream from Destination Point C. Depending on <br />stormwater management strategies, it may be possible to expand the contributing basin area for <br />Destination Point C, however, this system is relatively shallow and may not be suitable for <br />extension significantly beyond the existing basin area. <br /> <br />North Millrace / Willamette Basin (Basin D / Destination Point D): Proposed development within <br /> <br />the area north of the railroad tracks (Riverfront area) will utilize onsite infiltration and will maintain <br />sheet flow drainage patterns to the Millrace and Willamette River where practical. Where onsite <br />infiltration and sheet flow are not practical, piped conveyance will be required. It may be possible <br />to extend piped conveyance systems from Destination Points B, C, and E, but those systems <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> |5 <br /> <br />
