Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The College works closely with local and state officials to ensure minimal impacts of our built environment on our local watersheds and ecosystems. All new construction must take into account the impact it will have on the college's storm water management system. Please see attached document for a detailed account of the numerous ways in which the college ensures low impact to our valuable water ecosystems.
A copy of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines:
A brief description of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines that supports the responses above:
The attached document was written a number of years ago, but the basic plan for the campus rainwater management system remains unchanged. We have made adjustments and accommodations, for example, when we laid turf on much of the athletic field; however, we use the same watering system for reducing the temperature of the turf as we did for watering the original grass field. In addition, as we have added new buildings or renovated existing ones, we have carefully managed the drainage systems around those buildings, to follow the basic principles and systems put in place years ago.
