Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Sign an Agreement and an Easement with Bangor Housing Authority to
Construct Stormwater Improvements and to conduct Monitoring in the Capehart Brook Watershed
Summary
This order will authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement and easement with Bangor Housing Authority
for the installation and maintenance of 19 bioretention cells and one level spreader in the Capehart Brook
Watershed. Currently, Capehart Brook is listed as an impaired stream by the Maine Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP). As an impaired stream, the DEP requires the City to have a watershed
management plan which sets forth how the city will construct and monitor improvements in the Capehart
Brook Watershed.
In 2017, the city was awarded Clean Water Act, Section 319 grant funding to complete the above mentioned
improvements which are designed to reduce impairment in the Capehart Brook watershed. If approved, the
agreement will allow for the construction of these biorention cells, which are designed to remove pollutants
before they can reach Capehart Brook as well as help to solve issues with ponding water in several areas near
Davis Road. The Easement will allow for the City to maintain and monitor this installation. Staff
recommends approval.
