GI#43 Revised 5/25/2018

At this site, located in the Dudley neighborhood, a 300

gallon rainwater harvesting cistern has been installed to

collect the stormwater runoff from a shade structure that

is approximately 12 by 16 feet. The collect rainwater is

used to water the existing community vegetable and fruit

garden beds. The deteriorating sidewalks have been

removed and replaced with permeable surfaces that

promote groundwater recharge. 1,525 square feet of

pervious concrete sidewalk has been installed. Three stormwater planters have been installed in

series to intercept, treat, and filter the stormwater runoff from a portion of N. 29th Street. Overflow

from planters discharges to existing curb and gutter. Overflow from cistern discharges to lawn

areas. These installations 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 helps to capture 114,279 gallons of stormwater per year. This

project was completed in September 2015.
