| Description |
Archer Daniels Midland’s (ADM) Spokane grain milling plant property, bordered by railroad tracks and a heavily trafficked street, had significant stormwater runoff issues. During a site inspection in 2011, Ecology discussed with them the possibility of installing mitigatory swales. The city of Spokane decided independently to cut the storm drain from the system and to install its own swale along a nearby street to catch the turbid stormwater. However, the potential for runoff water to overflow this swale and go down the street to the next available storm drain remained. |
