New EPA Guidance Document - Storm Smart Schools
Published on 5/2/2018
School buildings and grounds are potentially big conveyors of stormwater as rain washes over their roofs, parking lots and other hard surfaces, picking up pollutants before chugging into storm drains that empty into local waters.
A new, EPA Storm Smart Schools guide can help schools get higher marks in stormwater management (please see attached file)
The EPA Mid-Atlantic Region worked with the city and school district of Newport News, Virginia, to develop options for installing rain-absorbing features on school grounds that can prevent the flooding and water pollution linked to stormwater runoff.
The attached 36-page guide outlines the multiple benefits of school-based green infrastructure, from helping a community meet Clean Water Act restrictions on stormwater to providing hands-on instruction for students. Please feel free share this guide with others.
