A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
The document The Newark Campus Framework Plan, June 2012 has a section that address long-term storm water management. The section titled “Invest in Civic Infrastructure” (pages 11-12) addresses this issue. The following text is an excerpt from this document:
“To ensure that utilities keep up with capacity demands, we have a duty to ensure existing utilities are maintained, that we leverage them by building in existing utility corridors and not extending them more than necessary, and that utility extensions are planned and funded with development as needed. The stream and drainage corridors are part of a larger stormwater network. As the campus develops, we will better incorporate them into the campus fabric and design.”
The Newark Campus does employ a variety of strategies to mitigate the storm water runoff impacts. Examples include silt fencing, retention/detention areas, erosion and sediment control checklists during construction projects, stabilizing dormant areas, properly applying seed and mulch, keeping soil and mud off of public roadways, directing concentrated flows of runoff to sediment ponds, designating washing areas for concrete trucks, stockpiling of soil away from any water course and when applicable, creating a storm water pollution prevention plan.
