A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
Humboldt State University implements minimum control measures as prescribed by the EPA's NPDES Phase II regulations designed to reduce pollutants generated by small MS4's or Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems like universities to the "MEP" or Maximum Extent Practicable. HSU also collaborated with the City of Arcata to seek Prop 84 grant funding in order to retrofit exiting parking lots with LID features to further enhance HSU's capability of managing storm water runoff.

Yes
None
A brief description of other technologies or strategies for stormwater management employed:
There are oil and water separators employed at the main collection vaults at two of the larger parking lots on campus. Additionally, many design elements have been incorporated or adjusted to divert storm water flow to existing vegetative areas to encourage infiltration. Many of the storm drain inlets have been marked with cautionary information to discourage illicit discharges from human activity near strom drains. BMPs and work practices are continually reviewed to find areas of improvement or for the development of additional BMPs where needed. The general university population is educated on pollution reduction methods and are encouraged to form collaborative's in order to seek solutions to increase the extent to which HSU is able to reduce pollution. Student driven projects are encouraged and supported by Administrative Affairs.
