A brief description of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines that supports the responses above:
The campus has a Stormwater Management Plan in accordance with NYS Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. We collaborate with and are members of the Stormwater Coalition of Monroe County. A green earth roof is installed on a MacVicar Hall roof section and there is a plan to install one on the breezeway between our two science buildings.The college also has several retention ponds recently built to accommodate stormwater from parking lots and building run-off. All retention ponds are part of the comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and are checked at least annually for erosion, sediment buildup, vegetative stress and pollution.
In 2007 we installed Eco-Stones, in cooperation with Harbec Plastics, in our Lot D retention ponds to encourage cattail growth and provide increased contact area for the root structure to uptake and remove pollutants. Our environmental science students have studied the pond, collected samples to determine pollution levels and we continue to see improved quality of the outfall stormwater. We installed a Butterfly Garden in 2010 in cooperation with the Senaca Park Zoo.
