GI#47 Revised 5/25/2018

Flooding in this site, located in the Cramer Hill

neighborhood, dates back to the 1950's, when Baldwin's

Run stream was filled to create more land. Today, during

heavy rainfalls, the park and surrounding neighborhoods

flood due to overcapacity in the city's combined sewer

system. Phase 1 of this project includes separation and improvements to the storm and sanitary

pipe infrastructure in and around the park. This includes new stormwater storage basins,

separated stormwater management pipes, and green infrastructure tools west of Hayes Ave.

Phase II of the project reconstructs 16,718 square feet of the Baldwin's Run tributary to channel

stormwater from the park to the back channel of the Delaware River. These installations help to

mitigate nuisance flooding in the area and reduces nonpoint source pollution and stormwater that

would otherwise discharge into the City of Camden's combined sewer system. This site captures

10,614 gallons of stormwater captured per year. This project was completed in April 2017.
