Big Creek Stormwater Retrofit Ranking Project

Stormwater retrofits are a series of green structural stormwater practices designed to mitigate erosive flows, reduce pollutants, and promote conditions for improved aquatic habitat that are retrofitted into developed watersheds.

This project builds on the work completed in the recently state-endorsed Big Creek Watershed Balanced Growth Plan by utilizing data gathered for the four types of stormwater retrofits identified in the plan.

The prioritization project is evaluating the identified retrofits through further desktop and field analysis on selected sites. The prioritized projects are being ranked based on the following criteria: potential for water quality treatment, ecological and community benefits, potential for improved flood control and site constraints. Up to four conceptual designs with cost estimates will be completed for the highest ranking projects.

TetraTech Inc. is the consultant for project oversight and conceptual design work.

Funding for the project is made possible through grants from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, Freshwater Future and the Ohio Lake Erie Protection Fund.
