Storm Water Studies

Outfall System Plan

The Town of Frederick is working with the City of Dacono to update the Stormwater Master Plan. This project is supported by a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant. Since both towns are affected by stormwater flows across Highway 52, it made sense to team up on the update.

The updated plan, the Frederick-Dacono Outfall System Plan, examines several areas where stormwater flows, such as Boulder Creek, Godding Hollow, Idaho Creek, Little Dry Creek, Tri-Town, and the Sump basins. These areas affect or are part of Frederick’s planning area. 

Anderson Consulting Engineers started working on the plan in 2020. Since then, they’ve studied current and future stormwater conditions and found areas that need improvement. Now, they’re working on possible solutions. The team has worked with Town staff to choose the best plan, calculate estimated costs, and decide which improvements should happen first.

Proposed improvements have been identified through the planning process to improve the Town’s drainage system. A total of 54 improvements have been identified. The proposed improvements have been ranked using a decision matrix based on:

• Risk
• Total project cost
• Alternative funding availability
• Community timeframe.
