TacomaWx Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 17 minutes ago, NorthBend RainEnthusiast said: I’ve only measured 1.76” the last couple days and it’s already overflowing? Yeah, you’re Monday/Tuesday is gonna be interesting considering the amount expected. I had to clean up a fallen rotten tree but it was surprising how little wind damage there was given how loud it sounded. Still nothing has topped the windstorm of early January 2019. The treatment ponds can fill up pretty quick here. The water also gets very dirty with it being a construction site…so sending the water out clean takes time for chemistry to work and take nasty contaminants out. But yeah I am kind of worried about Monday/Tuesday here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you use high pH chemicals to raise the pH when needed? Caustic Soda is what we use to raise the PH. We’re definitely aware of what’s coming and we are trying to get ahead of the rain and drain everything as much as we can. This is our first year as a company working in the area and it’ll be a big test the next few days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes time to get the water clean. Interesting. I sparingly deal with ISGP permits and the Department of Ecology is really not messing around with stormwater these days, only going to get stricter. I bet turbidity is tough to get down during the heavy rain events but the evidence is pretty substantial that it’s not good for our aquatic friends.
