Water Quality Projects for Stormwater

A ditch with water and a sign reading "CLEAN WATER PROJECT" by Vermont.

Treating stormwater from parking lots, streets, sidewalks and other surfaces is a common water quality project developed by the Conservation District.  Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) projects take advantage of ground infiltration to treat stomwater before it enters streams.  A gravel wetland, pictured above at the Hazen Union Campus in Hardwick, is a type of stormwater treatment practice for wetter soils that creates a filtering system for stormwater.  These types of project opportunities are identified in a Stormwater Master Plan and are a great way to utilize green spaces in developed areas.
