MIL2 Catchment Hydrologic Modeling Study

Location: Clark County, WA

Category: Hydrology and Hydraulics

Client: Clark County Public Works

Project Description

CCS assisted Clark County Public Works staff in the stormwater modelling of the Mill Creek subbasin MIL2 to evaluate the effectiveness of different proposed stormwater control standards. This study was in response to the Washington Department of Ecology issued 2019-2024 Phase I Municipal Stormwater Permit that requires Clark County to select a catchment and perform catchment-scale stormwater planning as outlined in Permit section S5.C.6.d. Clark County selected Mill Creek as a priority subbasin due to its location in Salmon Creek watershed, its relatively low level of development in the unincorporated area, presence of salmon populations, and development pressure in the Vancouver urban growth area.

Within Mill Creek, an unnamed tributary stream catchment is selected for catchment-scale stormwater planning. This Mill Creek tributary was labelled MIL2. The focus of this project was development of a hydrologic model and planned scenarios to address hydrology concerns using WWHM-SWMM.
