A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
The University of Texas at San Antonio provides temporary storm water treatment for construction projects. Projects employ a variety of storm water Best Management Practices (BMP’s) so that solids attributed to construction sites can be minimized before entering the storm system or open water ways.
Ongoing campus operations are closely monitored for water quality. The university regulates operations, development , and university events in order to reduce discharge of water laden with suspended solids or regulated and hazardous materials into our sewers and open water ways. This includes spill containment planning, prevention, emergency contact information, and education. Impervious cover is treated with permanent BMP’s including vegetative filter strips, water quality treatment basins and vegetated treatment swales. Management activities are in place and personnel are provided to protect the effectiveness of these controls.
