A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:

We have created wetlands, swales and places for water to collect such that we do not directly discharge any stormwater into the river. During new construction projects a storm water pollution prevention plan is created. This plan includes efforts taken to maintain current turbidity and suspended solids levels and ensure no oil or grease contaminates the water.
