Less comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that incorporate green infrastructure
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The College installed several rain gardens and rainwater retention areas around campus, as well as disconnected many downspouts from the combined sewage and stormwater pipes in order to allow the water to reach these rain gardens. The College also has a permeable parking by its science building. All new parking lots and other constructions involving impermeable surfaces are carefully designed to allow rainwater to be slowed down and diverted to permeable surfaces.
