Element
1 Project Based This study identified retrofit projects to improve flooding issues and drainage within the City.
2 Nature Based Retrofit projects that incorporated nature-based infrastructure were prioritized.
The BMP Retrofit Technical Memorandum analyzed existing stormwater management facilities within the City to identify facilities that can be retrofitted to provide
improved stormwater management and water quality (Figure 1: Newport News Retrofit Opportunities; Table 10: BMP Retrofit Feasibility Analysis). Once facilities
were prioritized based on age, type of facility, and the practicality of retrofitting the facility, the pollutant load reduction potential and approximate costs for
retrofitting were calculated. Implementing these retrofit opportunities identified will improve the stormwater management capabilities, improve water quality, and
reduce flooding risks within the City.
