Hyrdologic Monitoring of the Seattle Ultra-Urban Stormwater Management Projects
This report documents the monitoring of two Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) 'ultra-urban' stormwater management projects. In this context 'ultra-urban' is defined as any built environment within the City of Seattle, including a variety of industrial, commercial, residential, and mixed land use types. This report examines the hydrologic and hydraulic performance of the Viewlands swale during post-construction monitoring and theoretical pre-construction performance. The results demonstrate that the Viewland swale is limited in its ability to mitigate large amounts of stormwater (above volumes produced by a 6-month 24-hr storm), directly before reaching the natural drainage network. The main constraint on swale effectiveness is its limited soil water storage capacity and available land area. Once storage capacity is reached over the course of a storm, the swale has minimal impact in attenuating peak flow rates or inflow volumes.
