A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
Hope employs a variety of initiatives to reduce stormwater runoff. The college utilizes permeable pavement throughout campus. The Grounds Department collects roof rain water in soaker catch basins instead of using the storm water system for this runoff. At the campus athletic fields, retention ponds and vegetative waterways surrounded by 6 ft. no mow zones are maintained instead of using drain tubes. This decreases the rate of water flow into creeks that drain into the nearby lake. All turf is cut at three inches in an effort to catch and slow water run off from those areas.
