New dams and detention basins in store for Omaha metro
February 20, 2009
The
Papillion Creek Watershed Partnership, an organization made up of
local governments and natural-resource districts in the Omaha metro area, has unveiled its
latest set of plans for watershed development and stormwater management for the next 30 years. Their recommendations include 27 new detention basins (for protection of water quality and retention of high stormwater flows), as well as the construction of
seven new dams over the next few years.
Stormwater detention and treatment has become increasingly important to local governments as Federal regulatory attention to the volume and quality of stormwater runoff has increased.
We can help you with many types of
stormwater-control products, including
geomembrane liners for detention basins and
tanks for stormwater detention around construction sites, as well as
stormwater pumping stations and
water-quality sensors and monitors. Please feel free to
contact us with your questions.
