SPU BALLARD NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
Seattle Public Utilities
Seattle, WA
Project Manager & Operations Manual Author
SPU estimates a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) control volume of approximately 6 million gallons is needed to meet NDPES CSO control regulations for two uncontrolled basins in the Ballard neighborhood.
