Does the institution use Low Impact Development (LID) practices as a matter of policy or standard practice to reduce rainwater/stormwater runoff volume and improve outgoing water quality for new construction, major renovation, and other projects?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the institution’s Low Impact Development (LID) practices:
Whenever possible, rain water is managed without the use of piping. We have stormwater management strategies that include a bio retention cell, grass-lined swales in a new parking lot and farm, along with a gutter system that brings much of the run-off to our lake, where it is naturally filtered. Much of the campus lacks street catch basins. This water is led to vegetated areas where the water can infiltrate or evaporate.
