Stormwater Infrastructure and Water Quality Improvements for Flat Creek and Cache Creek

A recent meeting document Town of Jackson - Workshop Packet - 2026-05-18 indicates a future potential acquisition The Town of Jackson is undertaking a large effort to develop stormwater infrastructure to capture and filter water before it enters Flat Creek and Cache Creek, both of which are subject to new or expanded buffer/setback requirements under the proposed LDR amendments. Flat Creek is listed as an impaired waterbody by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality due to sediment and E. coli contamination, with the primary source identified as stormwater runoff from streets and parking areas. The Town's Public Works Department is actively developing a Strategic Stormwater Management Program, and the new LDRs explicitly support the construction of stormwater quality systems and restoration/enhancement projects within or adjacent to waterbodies, provided they meet buffer and mitigation standards. The regulations also prohibit snow storage, dumpsters, and fertilizer use within buffers, further increasing the need for engineered stormwater solutions. The Town may require design, engineering, and construction services for stormwater treatment facilities, green infrastructure, stream restoration, and related monitoring. There is also a need for clarification and potential procurement of specialized devices such as beaver excluder devices and engineered wetlands for stormwater management. This creates opportunities for civil/environmental engineering firms, construction contractors, and environmental technology vendors.
