The stormwater management <br />strategy will seek to reduce the negative impacts of urban runoff <br />typically associated with large volumes of untreated runoff, <br />such as erosion and sedimentation, and the release of harmful <br />chemicals into waterways. <br />The plan includes an integrated stormwater design that aims <br />to mimic the hydrology of a natural, undeveloped site. This will <br />reduce net runoff by utilizing a number of management systems: <br />• Bioswales <br />• Rain Gardens <br />• Open Water Channels <br />• Greenroofs <br />• Pervious Paving <br />• Rainwater Retention Basins <br />• Rainwater Harvesting and Storage Systems <br />• Water -wise Planting and Native Plant Communities <br />These systems are proposed throughout the site and <br />incorporated into the fundamental vision in a variety of ways. <br />Through the use of effective stormwater management, runoff <br />can be reduced between 19% and 65 %. <br />Rowell Brokaw Architects ■ 55 <br />
