Drainage project on NE 63rd St. & Hazel Dell Ave.9/1/2003
Special thanks to Ken Schwanz and Scott Wilson of Clark County
Date of project: April 30th - May 2nd
Purpose: The State was in the process of turning over the intersection back to the County because of the completion of
the NE 63rd overpass/I-5 project. New curbs and sidewalk channeled the water to an existing drywell at the intersection which
before used to run off the road. Poor infiltration soils and the lack of funds from the State made it difficult to fix the problem
before accepting back the road.
Solution: Provide an additional drywell to increase the amount of infiltration and storage and add an overflow south of
the intersection in case of an occasional big rain event. The County had a complete drywell in the maintenance yard and the
State maintenance crews provided the trucking and drain rock for installing the drywell. Most of the job was done with existing
materials plus labor and equipment.
