CHAPTER 6 - BARNEY'S CREEK CONSIDERATIONS
While the City's storm drainage master plan was in progress, a separate study was being completed by Salt Lake County (County) Flood Control District that has been titled "Southwest Canal and Creeks Study" (SWCCS) (see Appendix E). As part of that study, the capacity and condition of many of the County Flood Control facilities in the southwest portion of the County were evaluated. A memorandum summarizing the results from the SWCCS analysis specific to Barney's Creek was provided to the City by the County.
The SWCCS included the following statement: "It is recommended that West Jordan City representatives review the Technical Memorandum in (SWCCS) Appendix F in Section 3 of this report and select the recommended alternative to manage storm water runoff from future development in the Barney's Creek drainage basin. The recommended alternative should be reviewed with Salt Lake County. This process should be completed while West Jordan is updating their storm drain master plan." This Chapter is in response to this recommendation and will detail the plan of action that West Jordan City would like to incorporate to manage runoff within their City.
