The detention basin, located to the southwest of the project site, is shown on the Tentative Map as existing because the Stockton Unified School District will construct and maintain the detention basin as part of the school project prior to the development of the subdivision. The detention basin will be designed to accommodate the stormwater runoff from the school and the subdivision. Once the subdivision improvements are completed, the detention basin will be dedicated to San Joaquin County under County Service Area No. 41. Prior to the commencement of subdivision improvements, the Stockton Unified School District will construct sewer, water, and storm drain improvements along Guernsey Avenue and Wagner Avenue, storm drain improvements from Guernsey Avenue to the detention basin site, and sewer and storm drain lines along Main Street.
