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:
Eastern does not have an explicit LID policy in place, but had integrated LID into recent projects. In front of Eastern's Science Building there is a bioswale which includes native vegetation, pervious pavement and rainwater collection system of troughs. At one of the lower points on campus during rain events, storm water runs off toward the Science Building and is slowed down by planted vegetation on steep slopes, pervious pavement and bioswale collection. Eastern also uses a variety of sustainable landscaping methods across campus, including planting larger vegetation on steep slopes to reduce erosion.
Eastern follows state policies that encourage rainwater practices.
