A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
Richland has implemented strategies to reduce stormwater runoff in its three most recent development projects: Garland Campus, Sabine Hall, and added parking lot adjacent to Kiowa Building. Cisterns to collect stormwater have been installed in each of these projects. At the Sabine Hall science building, storm water runoff is filtered through vegetative and rock media and then captured in an underground 55,000 gallon cistern. It is treated on site in the basement and reused as water for irrigation and flushing of toilets throughout the building. Storm water at the Garland Campus and the Kiowa parking lot is captured in underground cisterns after passing through rock filters and is used on site for irrigation.
