OP-23: Rainwater Management

MSU is a partner in the Great Lakes Regional Committee that is a guiding body of for the region to collaborate on the three identified urbanized watersheds: the Grand River; the Red Cedar River and the Looking Glass River Watersheds. The stomrwater management report details the work of this team and the role that the university serves on this committee. Stormwater is addressed on a regional and watershed basis for the best results in preserving the resources. MSU has produced a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and provides biennial NPDES water quality reports. The SWMP addresses both storm water quantity and quality, and includes a Public Education Plan, Illicit Discharge Elimination Plan, Post Construction Stormwater Controls for areas of new development and redevelopment, Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control and Pollution Prevention, and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations. The program is currently being implemented by a team of staff members representing several MSU service units and departments. As part of this effort, Stormwater Design Standards are being followed for all new development projects. The standards focus on LID practices for stormwater management. MSU highlights its green infrastructure also through a walking tour and incorporating the measures as a part of the learning living laboratory.
