A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
To reduce stormwater runoffs the GC campus has development projects and ongoing campus operation as well as retention and detention facilities. The campus has retention ponds that were expanded through a grant from the Elkhart River Alliance in 2006. Vegetative swales are also present and capture stormwater from the smaller parking lots of campus. Over 15% of the campus is native prairie that absorbs runoffs. https://www.goshen.edu/sustainability/native-prairie-project/
