A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
The Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) requires new development projects to have post-developed flow not to exceed pre-developed flow based on 100-year storm modeling.
These standards have applied to several projects on campus and are contributing to reduced stormwater runoff from projects such as the HSC Garage II and Clinical & Translational Research building. The University is working with MSD to determine ways to fund installation of deep wells to accept stormwater runoff and replenish the aquifer.
