A brief description of the institution’s rainwater management policy, plan, and/or guidelines that supports the responses above:
The UNC Charlotte Design & Construction Manual, General Conditions section states: “As part of the Campus Master Plan, a campus-wide onsite storm water management plan addresses both the quantity and quality of run-off. This plan identifies opportunities to cleanse, calm, and treat storm water. The University will look inward to supply some of its water needs by collecting rainwater for reuse in buildings and irrigation. Ultimately, the University would like to use landscape design to create healthy and ecologically appropriate spaces, provide pleasant outdoor environments, minimize storm water runoff, and reduce the “heat island” effect.” The Stormwater Master Plan (2021) addresses university responsibilities to meet city stormwater ordinances and permits.
