Project Information:
Approach
:Designs for engineered BMPs will be created for specific sites within an urban community identified through coordination with the participating community organization. The basic idea is to prevent pollutants from entering the existing stormwater system (and ultimately, receiving water bodies), to retain pollutants where they can be more easily managed, and to increase infiltration and detention to reduce peak stormwater flows. Engineering and landscape architecture students from Rutgers University will interact with community members from the very beginning of the design process to envision the scope of the design problem together. The design plan will be developed by the students under the direction of Rutgers faculty and a teaching assistant. The project will partner with stakeholders at Rutgers, non-governmental organizations, and local government.
