Document Description
This project will serve as a demonstration that highlight Low Impact Development (LID) practices to local government, landowners, contractors, architects, area professionals and the community at large. The LID practices focus on improving water quality and increasing water conservation by reducing peak flows, decreasing erosion and reducing sediment loads, limiting household and landscape pollutants, increasing infiltration, and capturing and storing rain water. The project will result in a decrease in sediments and other stormwater transported pollutants in waterways and increased water conservation. The practices to be implemented include soil protective ground covers (plants, mulch, rock), rainwater collection systems, pipe outlet protection (dissipaters), swaled (rocked and vegetated), pervious pavers, decomposed granite paths, drip irrigation and site appropriate plants for conserving water and removing pollutants from stormwater runoff.
