Technical information

February 2011 Update: Draft Facility Plans (Barton and MurrayNorth Beach and South Magnolia) are now posted. All Facility Plans will be approved in summer 2011.

Technical information documents include supporting information and materials used to develop and evaluate CSO control approaches and alternatives for the Barton, Murray, North Beach, and South Magnolia project areas. Documents were generated or compiled from previous sources beginning in early 2007. Documentation of the selection process extended through 2010 when a preferred proposal was recommended for each project area.

A PDF Reader is required to view PDF files linked off of this page. The PDF file sizes have been reduced as much as possible, but some of the files are very large. Contact the Beach CSO Control project team if you would like CD versions of these documents.

General

Documents related the authorization of the CSO beach projects; technical analysis of Green Storm Water Infrastructure; CSO Control Program engineering studies and analysis.

CSO Beach Projects Document Binders

The CSO Beach projects document binders are intended to include materials developed as part of creation and evaluation of CSO control approaches and alternatives beginning in early 2007 and culminating in the selection of a preferred project alternative, currently scheduled for 2010. As of this date, this document includes materials developed by the project team from March 2007 through February 2010. At the end of February 2010, the project team evaluated nine alternatives and selected three alternatives from that group for refinement in 2010. As of February 2010, that work is ongoing. When the process to select a preferred alternative is completed in 2010, documentation for this phase of the work will be added to this document.

Binder 1. Alternatives Evaluation Process

Describes the process used in all four basins for the identification and evaluation of alternatives against a range of factors.

Modeling for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Control in the Murray Basin, Draft for Discussion, Aug. 3, 2010
Supplemental documents provided to Murray Citizen Advisory Group on two CDs:

  • Disc 1 (ZIP file)
    • Rainfall Data for Murray Basin Modeling - City of Seattle rain gauges # 5 and #14 to calibrate the Murray basin
    • Flow Meter Data for the Murray Basin Modeling -- The data from the flow meters and the Murray Avenue pump station that was used to calibrate the model
  • Disc 2
    • Murray Basin Flow Meter Data (Excel file) -- Meters in the Murray basin were used to assess how much flow was coming from various parts of the Murray basin. They were not used for sizing the 1 -year storage volume at the pump station
