Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
APSU has two demonstration rain gardens which disperse rain water collected from two buildings into a natural system for improved filtration and absorption compared to traditional storm water systems. Additionally the campus has a native meadow that was installed in a storm water detention area that prevents erosion and water pollution, as well as increases water infiltration and absorption. We also have a 20'x220' pervious concrete strip on the lower end of parking lot 8 that allows stormwater to be filtered and drain into the soil before reaching the storm drains.
A copy of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines:
