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 university is an active member of the Albany County Stormwater Coalition and the only university member. We work collaboratively with municipalities to develop a comprehensive stormwater plan. We have a stormwater manager on campus who oversees the proper implementation of this plan and works with subcontractors on construction projects. We have employed raingardens, green roofs, and porous pavement among others as part of our green infrastructure. Specific examples include:
• Data Center - Renovation of Service Building C includes roof and site runoff to subsurface infiltrators.
• Liberty Terrace(New) - Green roof, rain gardens and some porous sidewalks.
• Service Building A renovation – Porous pavement
• Campus Center expansion – Green roof, porous pavement, porous sidewalks.
• Business Building and Collins Circle – Runoff collection to sub-surface infiltration chambers.

The coalition strives to address four issues:
1) Describe the Best Management Practice (BMP)/measurable goal
2) Identify time lines/schedules and milestones for development and implementation
3) Include quantifiable goals to assess progress over time; and
4) Describe how the covered entity will address pollutants of concern (POCs).
