Typical of many communities with common open space, the maintenance committee for the Village Grande community in Lancaster County was looking sustainable alternatives to large expanses of high maintenance lawn areas. Stormwater drainage issues were driving up the cost of maintenance and the solutions lacked ecological benefits.
The facilities director for the Penn State Hershey Medical Center (PSHMC) campus was looking for more sustainable alternatives to manage large areas of open space and particularly challenging areas such as stormwater facilities and steep slopes.
The comprehensive Green Infrastructure Action Plan was developed to implement Best Management Practices and improve water quality
Restored 2,250 linear feet of stream/floodplain, relocated the channel back to the center of the valley, at the lowest elevation
Designed and constructed a restoration project restoring approximately 6,800 linear feet of Shober’s Run
Environmental engineers, geologists, botanists, landowners and F&M students provided years of research and monitoring that allowed this project to happen
Four phases have been constructed and monitoring provides data in support of efforts to infiltrate and recharge the groundwater supply
