Norfolk Storm Water

IMPROVEMENT Project

This project will address current and potential electrical issues associated with the existing pump station. Electrical components will be raised/relocated into the existing generator building. Improvements aim to reduce the number of times the underpass is unavailable due to flooding.

• Demolition design for internal components of existing pump station
• Electrical design for the electrical service relocation
• Heating and ventilation design for existing generator building
• Motor control panel design
• Control panel and SCADA system design

Pump Station #6

Phase 1 (1st Bay to 4th Bay) Design: Complete Construction: Complete Phase 2 (11th Bay to 15th Bay) Design: 60% Complete (expected completion Fall 2025) Construction: Funding for construction will be requested in the FY28-FY30 Estimated Project Cost: $3 Million per year

Neighborhood Drainage Improvement Project

East Ocean View Drainage Project

Meadow Lake is a former branch of Broad Creek impounded in the 1950’s or 1960’s to manage stormwater runoff from the Poplar Hall neighborhood. The lake captures water from a large watershed including Poplar Hall, Virginia Beach Blvd, and the Lowery/Raby commercial area to the north. Improvements will enhance the lake to meet criteria for a Level II Retention Pond to help meet Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements and help reduce tidal flooding from Broad Creek. The project will include installation of a new outfall structure, a forebay at the northern end of the lake, wetland plantings for shoreline stabilization, a maintenance access ramp, and concrete swales to improve road drainage. Hydrodynamic separators along Virginia Beach Blvd will capture sediment and trash before it reaches the lake. Project Status: In Design/Permitting

Meadow Lake

WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT Project

The East Ocean View Community Center is located on Little Creek just west of he Shore Drive bridge. The shoreline of the property and adjacent roads have been eroding for many years due to the impacts of heavy boat traffic and sea level rise. Several small community-led projects adjacent to the fishing pier have helped to stabilize a portion of the bank, but over 1200 feet of public shoreline continues to erode. The proposed project will restore the shoreline through sand fill, installation of a riprap sill, re-establishment of a kayak access ramp, and planting of native marsh grasses, trees, and shrubs. The project will also account for necessary outfall stabilization upgrades needed for planned drainage improvements in the surrounding neighborhood. Project Status: Under Design/Permitting

East Ocean View Community Center Living Shoreline

Riverside Memorial Park is a cemetery in the Campostella section of Norfolk, founded in 1910. Owned by the City, it has a long history and remains active. The shoreline of the property has faced impacts of wave action, climate change, and nearby industry for decades. Once part of a large wetland system, the eastern shoreline has slowly eroded and in recent years the erosion intensified, threatening gravesites above. The project will stabilize and restore more than 1500 linear feet of shoreline using a combination of soil and sand fill, rock revetments on severe slopes, rock sills offshore, vegetated geobags along much of the restored slope, and marsh wetland and tree plantings. The combined efforts will halt erosion, provide a buffer for the graves from future risk, reduce offshore wave and boat impacts, and restore a marsh to provide habitat and pollutant treatment. Project Status: Under Design/Permitting

WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT Project

Stormwater infrastructure will be replaced on Granby Street as part of an overall streetscape between Brambleton Avenue and Virginia Beach Boulevard.

Neon District

The neighborhood’s storm water infrastructure was developed to county standards and relies on roadside ditches and an undersized stormwater system. The project will provide storm drainage infrastructure in a residential neighborhood to manage the 10-year storm event. The improvements will improve the collection, movement, and discharge of stormwater runoff to reduce flooding. SCOPE OF WORK:• Install new storm drainage conveyance system consisting of pipes and structures in multiple phases • Remove/replace asphalt pavement PROJECT STATUS: In Design/Permitting

Glenrock Drainage Improvements

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

The neighborhood is susceptible to flooding from a poorly planned stormwater system and may have been exacerbated by the development of an apartment complex in the neighborhood. The improvements will improve the collection, movement, and discharge of stormwater runoff to reduce flooding.

SCOPE OF WORK: • Install new storm drainage conveyance system consisting of pipes and structures • Remove/replace portions of curb and gutter, and sidewalk • Asphalt mill and overlay & pavement patch PROJECT STATUS:Under Design/Permitting LOCATION: Glennwood Park area - Hampton Boulevard to the west, Norfolk Southern Sewells Point Line to the north, and Norfolk Naval Station to the south and east.

This project will transform the existing underground urban stormwater system into an open and more natural watercourse. The aesthetic open space will treat and store stormwater runoff, as well as support recreational activities. SCOPE OF WORK:• Construct wetlands, bioretention cells and wet pond BMPs • Upstream drainage structures to provide debris capture and sediment removal • Multi-use trails • Landscaping STATUS: Under Construction

Saint Paul's Blue-Greenway

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

Silver Lake is a former branch of Broad Creek impounded in the 1950’s or 1960’s to manage stormwater runoff from the Poplar Hall neighborhood. The lake manages water from the central portion of the Poplar Hall neighborhood. Proposed improvements will enhance the lake to meet criteria for a Level II Retention Pond to help meet Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load (TMDL) requirements. Necessary spillway embankment maintenance will also be conducted. The project will include installation of an upgraded outfall structure to control lake water level, installation of wetland, forebay cells, and hydrodynamic separators to capture and treat pollutants, installation of aeration to address low dissolved oxygen in the summer, and construction of earthen baffles to increase flow rate through the lake. Project Status: Under Design/Permitting

Silver Lake Retrofit

STORM WATER IMPROVEMENT Project

The Duffy’s Lane outfall extension project will construct stormwater improvements that will help to reduce the occurrence of standing water and minor flooding during thunderstorms.SCOPE OF WORK • Install 48” pipe with associated piles and pipe supports. • Install new navigation light. • Install new warning sign.

Duffy's Lane Outfall Rehabilitation & Extension

The project will provide storm drainage infrastructure in a residential neighborhood. The upgrades and repairs will improve the collection, movement, and discharge of stormwater runoff. SCOPE OF WORK • Addition of inlets & large conduits • Asphalt mill and overlay & pavement patch

Overbrook-Coleman Place Phase 2

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

Lake Herbert is the downstream end of the Lake Taylor waterbody. During the construction of the larger Lake Taylor retrofit in 2020, it was determined that the spillway on Lake Herbert, draining into Broad Creek, had failed. The failure allowed the lake to drain and become partially reconnected with Broad Creek. To ensure the long term success of the larger Lake Taylor project and assist with flood reduction on Kempsville Road, the spillway will be replaced with a sluice gate system that can raise or lower water level by season or before large storms. Project Status: Under Design/Permitting
