Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
Less comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that incorporate green infrastructure
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The Campus Master Plan addresses the need for parking lots to be designed to include localized stormwater treatment and infiltration facilities. Whenever possible, these stormwater treatment facilities will be above-ground structures that incorporate appropriate plantings for pre-treatment and filtering of particulates and pollutants.
At RCC/SOU's Higher Education Center, there is stormwater management onsite including a bioswale and porous concrete.
Additionally, all new construction on campus and major renovations are designed to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff. SOU's new LEED Gold Raider Village used concrete catch basins with sediment bags to achieve 91% total suspended solids removal efficiency.
