Capital improvement projects (CIPs) are construction projects that improve stormwater systems to protect water quality and reduce the risk of flooding. CIPs typically include stormwater facilities like treatment swales and catch basins that remove pollutants from stormwater or outfall structures that protect shorelines from erosion. A CIP that repairs or replaces old stormwater pipes helps move winter stormwater to the bay reducing flooding during storms.
BBWARM has a CIP program based the Birch Bay Comprehensive Stormwater Plan. Read more about our capital improvement projects and process below. Current CIP List
