GI#36 Revised 5/25/2018

At this site, located in the Centerville neighborhood, a total

of five downspouts have been disconnected. Two

downspouts have been routed to a 560 square foot rain

garden. Three downspouts have been disconnected to

seven downspout planter boxes. A 300 square foot

stormwater planter has been implemented to intercept a

portion of the parking lot. These green infrastructure practices intercept, treat, and filter the

stormwater runoff from portions of the library's roof and parking lot. Overflow from the green

infrastructure practices discharge to the sewer system. These installations also help to mitigate

nuisance flooding in the area and reduces nonpoint source pollution and stormwater that would

otherwise discharge into the City of Camden's combined sewer system. This site captures

282,508 gallons of stormwater per year. This project was completed in September 2015 with a

rubble border being added to the perimeter of the rain garden in April 2017.
