Salt Creek Storm Drain Treatment Facility

Salt Creek Storm Drain Treatment Facility

Alter the streambed to construct the Salt Creek Storm Drain Treatment Facility in order to reduce bacteria levels in the Salt Creek dry-weather flows just prior to discharge into the ocean within the City of Dana Point. This project will include construction of a new ozone treatment facility and improvements to the existing apron in the vicinity of the Salt Creek outlet at the Pacific Ocean. The new water treatment facility will be housed within a reinforced concrete building, built into an existing grass mound in the northern corner of the Links Golf Course. In order to divert low-flows into the treatment facility, modifications to the existing concrete apron will be made. A concrete berm (diversion weir) will be constructed along the western edge of the existing apron at the outlet of Salt Creek in order to impound the water on the apron. This berm will be up to two-feet in height and incorporate a four-foot wide by two-foot high slide gate. In addition, two intake manifolds and pipes will be installed east of the berm. Storm water impounded behind the berm will gravity flow to a wet well, where it will be pumped to the treatment facility. Treated storm water will exit the treatment facility through an outlet pipe that will terminate below the diversion berm on the north side of the concrete apron.
