Less comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that incorporate green infrastructure
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
Sacramento State has implemented a variety of stormwater treatment devices on campus. Low impact development (LID) stormwater capture and treatment devices are required for any construction projects with greater than 2,500 square feet of impervious surface. Construction of newest buildings such as parking structure 5 includeed the installation of a series of infiltration trenches and planters as well as a living roof. In addition, as part of a retrofit project, Sacramento State in conjunction with the Office of Water Programs engineered 25 LID stormwater capture and treatment devices on campus to filter an estimated 6.1 million gallons of storm water per year. The devices include bioretention planters, bioswales, rain gardens, rooftop disconnects, porous pavement, and a green street. The devices are designed to capture and treat over 13 acre-feet of stormwater runoff every year.
