An increase in frequency and intensity of storms since 2013 caused hundreds of north Everett homes to flood, resulting in millions in damage claims. To eliminate chronic basement flooding and combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges, Everett city engineers implemented the Legion Golf Course Stormwater Detention Project. New and expanded water features will collect, treat, and store storm runoff from city streets, the nearby community college, and the golf course itself. Changes to three golf holes and course routing will also enhance the golfers’ experience.

Learning Objectives:

-Plan and implement cost-effective basin-wide flood reduction improvements.

-Evaluate and select alternatives to reduce CSO discharges and basement flooding by providing stormwater detention and treatment at an existing public golf course.

-Develop operations and maintenance strategies for detention ponds at golf courses that balance aesthetics and functionality.
