Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
Less comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that incorporate green infrastructure

A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:

The WCU campus is entirely within the Chester County Conservation District (CCCD) and is subject to the stormwater regulations of the CCCD. These are stringent, and their application to new construction projects, major renovations, and other projects that significantly change the campus grounds, ensures mitigation of the impacts of stormwater runoff. In September 2017, WCU complied with state law by finalizing a Pollution Reduction Plan For Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) (see link below).

At present the University’s projects are permitted as phases under an “umbrella permit” that was established when the EO Bull renovations and Additions project received its permit.
