Utilization of various forms of bioswales, which include rock, grass, and vegetated swales.
Has the institution adopted a rainwater/stormwater management policy, plan, or strategies that mitigate the rainwater runoff impacts of ongoing campus operations through the use of green infrastructure? :
A brief description of the institution’s rainwater/stormwater management policy, plan, and/or strategies for ongoing campus operations:
Stormwater Management Program:
1. Identify pollutant sources potentially affecting the quality & quantity of storm water discharges.
2. Provide BMP's for municipal and small construction activities implemented by Cal State University, Fullerton staff and contractors.
3. Provide measurable goals for the implementation of SWMP to reduce the discharge of the identified pollutants in the storm drain system & associated water ways.
A brief description of any rainwater harvesting employed by the institution:
In order to prevent flooding various bioswales are located strategically throughout the sloped campus in order to better harvest rainwater.
