Yes
None
A brief description of the institution’s Low Impact Development (LID) practices:
There are several areas on the North Campus that have bio swales installed to help retain storm water and use it to water the native plants that have been installed in the bio swales.
None
Has the institution adopted a rainwater/stormwater management policy, plan, or strategies that mitigate the rainwater runoff impacts of ongoing campus operations through the use of green infrastructure? :
Yes

A brief description of the institution’s rainwater/stormwater management policy, plan, and/or strategies for ongoing campus operations:
The college is committed to designing and constructing LEED accredited buildings meeting stringent standards for managing stormwater runoff. Historically, the college has met the requirements and regulations of Illinois Dept. of Health and Environmental Resources as applied to all college construction projects. The college maintains a retention pond, stone swale, bio swales and other storm water draining fixtures to regulate and manage stormwater.

The storm/rain water captured from the parking lots are drained into stone swales and is piped to a retention pond and or to the storm water drainage system. ICC utilizes two Bioswales (vegetated swales) which are open channels specifically designed to attenuate and treat stormwater runoff. They intentionally promote slowing, cleansing and infiltration of stormwater runoff.
None
A brief description of any other rainwater management technologies or strategies employed by the institution:
