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
The project team developed a program that blends recreational uses with conservation training and demonstration
LandStudies proposed the restoration to improve the ecological diversity and create a regenerative stormwater system to address stormwater management requirements
LandStudies designed a floodplain restoration project to address the many needs of the community
The planning approach includes four components: community organization, public outreach/education, management/planning, and project implementation
The plan provides guidance on where to focus efforts to improve water quality, minimize stormwater effects and improve riparian habitat
