THE RIVER CITY SPONGE 3
PEORIA, IL - COLLABORATION WITH VICTORIA DURAND & TARIKA WILLIAMS JAEWON WANG
The U.S and Illinois EPA have ordered the City of Peoria to develop a solution to reduce the incidence of overflows from combined stormwater/ sanitary sewers, which currently violates the Clean Water Act. Peoria’s old combined sewer system carries both sewage and stormwater in the smae pipes-so during a heavy rain event, the system is overwhelmed and the untreated water bypasses the sewerage treatment plan and is discharged
directly into the Illinois River. Therefore, our group came up with a cost-effective and flexible solution that will take into account the challenges of the old sewer system. In order to remediate water management issues in this area, we have proposed a system of interventions that would have the most impact in capturing storm water and potentially could be applied to the whole neighborhood.
SITE INVENTORY
SITE ANALYSIS VACANT LOTS
Our group have seeked to make the most imact with less interventions. The individual components and sites act to cumulatively lessen the volume of water entering the sewer system. Based on this idea, we created a hierarchical of site selection, in which sites are deemed high, medium, or low priority, allowing the city of peoria to implement site interventions in deliberate stages.

Surface area of the site is approximately 26,000ft² and the capacity of storm water that it could hold is approximately 17,000ft³. The components of the site are “bumpouts”, “rain gardens”, “planters”, “phytoremediation terrace”, and “basins”. The ground level of the site is higher in the north so the site is designed to move water from north to south. In a heavy storm event, the overflow enters the bumpout, passes through the exposed channel and meets the rain gardens. The water keeps flowing through the channel and enters the phytoremediation terrace and goes through the rain garden and to the basin. Through the process, the overflow water not only moves through the site, but also gets filtered. The main purpose of the site is of course is preventing the CSO, but also is designed for community gathering. The eye catching features of the site would lead the people to the site and also develop a social environment.

The surface area of the site is approximately 8250ft² and the capacity of storm water that it could hold is about 1400ft³. One thing unique about this site is that there is no system or infrastructure that draws the runoff into the site. Yet, designing the ground level of the streets, sidewalks, and the site with no curbs would automatically lead the water into the site rain garden and to the basin. When there is no flooding issues, people could come into the site and just chill and relax walking around the small loop or sitting on the benches as you pass by.

The surface area of the site is about 14,400ft². Since the low priority site has the less concern for overflow issues, it is mainly designed to add esthetic value to the neighborhood. However, the planters and rain gardens will be capable of functioning as collectors. Variety of plants would attract people to visit the site and enjoy the view. Moreover, the plants on the site would all function to remove pollutants such as lead, which is a currently a huge issue in South Peoria, from the soil. Therefore, this multifunctional site will not only provide an eye catching space but also actually change the soil quality of the neighborhood. PLANT USE YELLOW CLOVER INDIAN MUSTARD

URBAN DETENTION RECREATIONAL PARK CHAMPAIGN, IL - COLLABORATION WITH GUOJUN WU 11
JAEWON WANG
The design of the site has three objectives: providing 100-year flood control, remediation of the soil, and creating multi-purpose recreational space. To contain the 100-year flood, the decisions were made to create ditches within each block that serves as detention basins. These basins are 4ft deep with the deep Boneyard Creek running along it. The creek is 10ft wide and 3ft deep with wetland plants on and along its edges. These wetland plants cleans the contaminated soil around the site as well as cleaning the water that flows along the creek. With each block of the site, reacreation designs are implemented

“Skeleton Park” is one and only public park in site that is taken care by the Champaign Park District. However, the featureless components of the park seemed to draw people out of the site. N 3rd St
Back in the late 1950’s, frequent flooding occurs along the Boneyard Creek in the areas southeast of the railroad cross section. Due to floods, residential houses that were along the creek were removed over a period of time. Currently, there are four blocks of open unattended areas along the creek. Other than flooding issues, the soils and ground water around the site were contaminated by a gas manufacture plant in the 1930’s. These toxins were told to have caused some health problems. As a result of these findings, the proposal for redesigning the site focused on containing the 100-year flood, phytoremediation of the soils, as well as turning the site into a multi-functional recreational space. Through calculations, it has been estimated that during the 100 year flood, there would be 600,000ft³ of water. The proposed design of the site will approximately hold 776,000ft³ of water. To clean the soil, wetland plants have been planted on and along the edges of the creek.
The creek starts narrow but gets wider as it flows down south toward University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus and to Urbana area. However, in flooding seasons, due to the narrowness, overflow seemed inevitable.

BLOCK 1
25ft high mound with a 10% slope functions as a viewpoint for people to see the whole neighborhood. It also transforms to a sledding place during winter time for people to enjoy all the snow. The mound would be constructed from the soil collected to make the sunken areas of BLOCK 2,3, and 4 On the west side of the block, there is a depressed wetland forest contains many different species of native plants. Moreover, the meadering path that goes through the forest creates more of a park-like environment to the site. A bike path goes throughout the site and the Boneyard Creek flows right next to it
BLOCK 2
Active programs such as basketball courts and badminton courts would be available in this area. There are 4 main access points on site and one of them is a ramp for the accessability for the disabled people. Ramps are constructed in all blocks considering the convenience for the people who use wheel chairs.
BLOCK 3
Most likely would be used by people who enjoys less activeness. Barbeques, picnicking, or any kind of gatherings. One half of the side is lawn area and the other is paved surface so that it could have variety to programs.
BLOCK 4
Mainly designed for children in elementary school or younger. The 4ft mounds serve as a playing method for children. Instead of playing at a artificial playground, these mounds provides an opportunity for children to explore the environment more.

The main goal and challenge of this project was to make Dorner Drive Retention Basin not only a site for storm water retainment and drainage but also into a site of scenic beauty. By designing the water terrace filtration system, it would fulfill to attract people to the site and also disembogue clean water to the Boneyard URBANA, IL Creek, the water terrace would provide seating opportunities. The vertical wetland system is applied for filtration and the filtered

water that goes through the system would provide clean water for a shallow pool where people could walk on bearfoot. The tall grass covers the terrace materials to give more a natural view. The vertical pathway that crosses the basin in the middle, acts also as a retaining wall that seperates the storm water from filtered water. There are main access points and one of them is a ramp for the accessability for the disabled people.

It’s an isolated place, tranquil and sedate area. The material of the edge of the basin is brick stone. Also, there were geese droppings around the basin which indicates that the geese come periodically.
Two fountains are located one on the south side and the other on the north of an 8-shaped basin. It has multiple purposes but it fails to attract people.

This is a view seen from the ground level. The basin is not visible to pedestrians walking along the sidewalk(depression). Also, since there is no pathway or steps leading down to the basin, people might assume that they are inaccessable to it. On the other hand, since the site is not visible, it could cause inappropriate behavior such as alcohol and drug use.

STORM WATER RETENTION BASIN DRAINAGE DIRECTION TO THE CREEK The storm water gets collected in the retention basin and through the engineered piping systems, the water gets pumped up back to the terrace filtration fountain. As the water gets pumped up, the vertical wetland system filters the contaminated storm water and then goes to the sub basin. The water would be clean enough for people to play or have their feet in the water for relaxation. From there, the water enters the sewer and heads to the Boneyard Creek. JAEWON WANG
