The County Council requested a report from Road Services Division staff describing the location and condition of the County’s drainage trunk system within major road rights-of-way in unincorporated areas, the estimated accuracy of the resultant database, an analysis of the data to assess risks and impacts, and a prioritized program for maintenance. As Project Manager, RKI oversaw the condition and risk assessment of several thousand regional drainage assets and authored a strategic business plan to direct near- and long-term maintenance, repair, and renewal priorities.

WEST DUWAMISH COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOW PROJECT

As Design Team Manager, RKI led the GSI alternatives analysis to identify and compare various combinations of grey and green technologies to achieve the control strategy and help protect the Duwamish River and Puget Sound.

2016 CITY OF RICHLAND STORMWATER PLAN UPDATE
