The Problem
Corps of Engineers determined that existing creek was jurisdictional waters of the U.S. The downstream existing residential development had a history of flooding problems prior to any development from this new condo site.
Project
17-acre Condominium Site – Arlington, Texas
The Solution
I designed a detention pond facility that alleviated the flooding problem downstream and actually provided relief to the existing natural jurisdictional streams during large rainfall events. The streams were left in their natural state.
Result
The client was able to capitalize on the new pond as an amenity, which became the focal point of many of the high end condos constructed on this project. Nature trails were added for the resident to enjoy the natural beauty of the water feature and adjacent streams.
