Green Stormwater Infrastructure
Regulatory agencies and municipal leaders increasingly recognize Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) as a multi-beneficial tool for stormwater management across the urban landscape, including managing flows, treating pollutants, reducing local flooding and heat island effects in urban areas, capture of runoff to augment water supplies, and climate resiliency. EOA’s experience and services include:
- Developing GSI plans, policies and practices
- Conducting reviews of development projects for compliance with regulatory requirements for stormwater treatment, including review of GSI design and sizing calculations
- Integrating GSI with transportation, flood management, climate resiliency, hydromodification mitigation, and pollutant reduction programs
- Conducting siting and feasibility studies for GSI facilities
- Tracking water quality and quantity benefits over time
- Optimizing the use of limited funding to achieve municipal stormwater permit compliance priorities
