Cambridge Drainage Basin Improvements Phase I and II

Type:	Stormwater
Manager:	Andrew M. Giannini, P.E.
Owner:	City of Port Orange
After significant flooding occurred during the tropical storms in 2004, the City of Port Orange retained the services of QLH to study the 700-acre Cambridge Canal basin and recommend improvements. The study recommended a basin-wide approach to solving the problem by creating two additional outfalls, one in the north and one in the south part of the basin. Two large wet detention ponds and a stormwater pump station were constructed to help offset/mitigate for increase discharge rates during extreme events. The total cost of the basin-wide project is over $10 million and was constructed by the end of the 2007 tropical storm season. The City obtained grant funds through FEMA, SJRWMD and FDEP to help offset costs. The remainder of the project was funded with State Revolving Fund Loans.
