Commission Agenda Item #12
The 2019 Green Solutions Program, is a funding partnership program in the approved capital budget.
This partnership program provides funding support for a series of projects to demonstrate the importance of green infrastructure as a sustainable practice in managing the volume, rate, and quality of stormwater runoff. These projects may also catalyze more widespread green infrastructure that can benefit the operation of municipal storm and sanitary sewers, as well as the MMSD system.
Supports the 2035 Vision
Capture & harvesting

2. Approval of 2019 Green Solutions Program Projects
Reduce stormwater runoff
Improve water quality
These are practices that will capture, infiltrate, evapotranspire or harvest stormwater runoff keeping it out of the sewer systems. They also improve water quality by filtering stormwater before it enters waterways or captures the water, keeping it out of sewers and reducing the risk of combined sewer overflows.

Project Description:
The civic campus serves as one of the stormwater collection points leading to the discharge location under Cedarburg Road and ultimately to the Milwaukee River. In 2017, Mequon used MMSD Green Solutions funding to enhance the drainageway by constructing a bioswale with native landscaping leading to the cross-road culvert discharging towards the river. The civic campus parking lot project will look to enhancement the drainageway. The project will include a minimum of 14,000 square feet of porous pavement. The change order is to fund the remainder of the project.

13. Canal Street Bioretention
Submitted by the City of Milwaukee
North of Canal Street, west of North 25th Street, Milwaukee, WI
Bioswales
Capacity: 960,000 gallons
Canal Street Bioretention
Location: North of West Canal Street, west of North 25th Street, Milwaukee, WI
Award Amount: $458,440
Gallons Captured: 960,000
GI Measures: Bioswales
Project Description:
Milwaukee constructed a one-acre bioretention facility at North 25th Street and West Canal Street in 2006 to treat approximately 26 acres of West Canal Street tributary area and provide 80% total suspended solids reduction. Milwaukee will completely rehabilitate the facility, as it has not been functioning as designed, because no infiltration was occurring. As part of the project, the existing bioretention bed will be removed to install a new 42-inch-deep layer of engineered soil composed of 70/30 ratio of sand to compost on the existing clay-lined bed. Stormwater runoff from the tributary area will enter the bioretention bed from the existing forebay. When completed, the bioretention will be landscaped with native plants.

14. Wauwatosa Police Station
Submitted by the City of Wauwatosa
1700 North 116th Street, Wauwatosa, WI
Porous pavement
Capacity: 65,340 gallons
Wauwatosa Police Station
Location: 1700 North 116th Street Wauwatosa, WI
Award Amount: $434,137 (TPC $1,034,137) from W96001 – ZIC and $200,000 from G98005 – Green Solutions
Gallons Captured: 65,340
GI Measures: porous pavement (23,280 SF)
Project Description:
This project will replace approximately 0.5 acre of pavement with permeable pavement. Both pavers and porous asphalt are being considered. A larger two-foot-deep gravel storage layer will be laid under the permeable pavement to store all the runoff from a one percent probability storm. Depending on soil conditions, water will either infiltrate the native soils or be routed by an underdrain to the storm sewer system. Wauwatosa will install controls at an outlet structure to strategically release flow at dry times and hold water back during rain events.

Award Amount: $550,000 ($283,238 from 2020 funding)
Gallons Captured: 58,065
GI Measures: Porous pavement (16,590 SF)
Project Description:
This project will renovate five alleys to green alleys. Each green alley will consist of an approximately 12-foot-wide strip of porous pavers down the center of the alley totaling 16,590 square feet of porous pavers. Surface water flow will drain through the voids in the pavers to an aggregate storage area beneath. Depending on soil conditions, water will either infiltrate the native soils or be routed by an underdrain to the storm sewer system. An observation well will be installed at each alley, which will be inspected quarterly and after extreme events to evaluate whether the subbase layer is properly draining. Note, this project is being proposed with the use of 2020 Green Solutions funding. Until 2020 Capital Budget is adopted, the level of funding for the City of Wauwatosa is unknown, and the City is committing to the proposed project at its own risk.
