Sustainable Practices

Constructed, passive systems that can receive stormwater runoff and function by use of native plant species and well-drained soils, offer stormwater storage and treatment, naturally! These natural, passive systems include:

• Raingardens
• Biogardens (bioretention)
• Infiltration basins
• Grass swales
• Rain barrels and cisterns
• Green roofs
• Porous pavement
