Americana Park Bypass Channel

Americana Park Bypass Channel

The city of Pittsburg maintains Americans Park and a detention basin receiving surface flows from a drainage channel along the PG&E company utility corridor east of the park. The existing Americana Park detention basin has insufficient capacity, which results in the flooding of North Parkside Drive on a nearly annual basis. The purpose of the project is to divert high stormwater flows from the detention basin to a bypass channel, conveying flows eastward across the PG&E property in an open earth channel, to a tributary to Willow Creek that runs along the easterly boundary of the PG&E parcel. The proposed bypass channel would be constructed on the east side of the detention basin in an upland area, avoiding existing wetlands and wetland hydrology, with the exception of the connection with the Willow Creek tributary.
