Glenwood Creek Basin Mitigation <br /> 1. Glenwood Creek suffers from channel erosion due to increased flows from urbanization. Divert <br /> stormwater runoff from Glenwood Avenue out of the stream and directly to Puget Sound in order <br /> to improve the channel conditions of Glenwood Creek. The City of Everett has already expanded <br /> the bypass drain system, and further improvement may not be necessary. <br /> Glenhaven Creek Basin Mitigation <br /> No basin specific mitigation recommendations. <br /> Pigeon Creek#2 Basin Mitigation <br /> 1. Create a regional detention pond on Associated Sand & Gravel property in order to reduce peak <br /> flow rates and channel erosion in Pigeon Creek#2. <br /> Swamp Creek Basin Mitigation <br /> 1. Implement the Swamp Creek Drainage Basin Plan recommendations for water quality <br /> improvement, stream channel and wetland enhancement and restoration projects. These actions <br /> would be implemented by Snohomish County and other governmental agencies, rather than <br /> developers. Implementing these recommendations would improve water quality, flooding and <br /> habitat conditions downstream. Following are some of the recommendations that assume <br /> participation or support by Everett: <br /> Administrative Actions <br /> • Increased construction inspection and plan review. <br /> • Staff workshops. <br /> • Formation of an emergency pollutant response network. <br /> Finance <br /> • Provide wetland retention incentives, such as property tax relief, increased densities for upland <br /> portions of site, acquisition of wetlands, etc. <br /> Interagency/Governmental Coordination <br /> • Support Snohomish County's efforts to implement a plan for deterrence of illegal waste <br /> disposal in the watershed. <br /> • Superfund site coordination. <br /> Land Acquisition <br /> • Participate in the cost of an inventory of important riparian corridors/wetlands throughout the <br /> Swamp Creek watershed, and in the protection of identified parcels through acquisition or other <br /> means. <br /> Producing Alternative Analysis <br /> • Golf course drainage into the tributary from Walter E. Hall golf course may contain fertilizers, <br /> pesticide, and herbicides that can negatively impact water quality. The City should meet with <br /> 33 <br />
