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. Examples include:
- SOU's LEED Gold Raider Village used concrete catch basins with sediment bags to achieve 91% total suspended solids removal efficiency.
SOU's Thalden Pavilion's parking lot was constructed with permeable pavers.
Two parking lots around Raider Village feature bioswales with interpretative signage and a capstone project in Lot 36 parking lot created a bioswale.
