34 What Does It Look Like? Community Mennonite Church
35 What Does It Look Like? Residential Retrofit
36 What Does It Look Like? Residential Retrofit
37 What Does It Look Like? Residential Retrofit
38 How Do We Know It s Working? Metrics 1. Gallons of stormwater captured annually 2. Gallons of combined sewer overflow reduced 3. SW permits & credits 4. # of projects completed 5. Pounds of TN, TP, TSS diverted 6. Public outreach events & interactions Inspection & Performance 1. BMP s are installed and maintained properly 2. BMP s function as intended 3. Functionality maintained over time 4. Reducing maintenance & observation
39 How Do We Know It s Working? Monthly Inspections
40 How Do We Keep It Working? Routine Maintenance Monthly (during growing season) weeding of rain gardens and vegetated curb extensions Regular replanting of dead vegetation Regular trash and sediment removal Regular inlet/structure cleaning
41 How Do We Keep It Working? Routine Maintenance Monthly (bi-weekly in fall) vacuum sweeping of all porous pavement surfaces Monthly (during growing season) weeding of rain gardens and vegetated curb extensions Regular replanting of dead vegetation Regular trash and sediment removal Regular inlet/structure cleaning
42 How Do We Keep It Working? Non-Routine Maintenance Plant replacement Media replacement Concrete repair Auto removal?
43 How Do We Keep It Working? Maintenance Staff Field staff are a vital part of a successful stormwater program! Plant identification throughout growth/seasons Appropriate maintenance methods Feedback for improvements
44 What About Private Project Maintenance? Operations and Maintenance Agreements Identify responsible part(ies). Recorded legal document with site plan exhibit. Run concurrent with deeds in perpetuity; responsibilities transfer even with sale of property. Allow City to enforce O&M. Allow City to enter property to perform maintenance/repair and bill responsible party at cost PLUS 10% with penalties for late payment (or lien).
45 Does It Ever Go Wrong? Getting it Right: Lessons Learned Planting Palette: Primarily shrubs (winterberry) and grasses PA natives End Result: Plants mostly died Causes Soil media Road salts
46 Does It Ever Go Wrong? Getting It Right: Lessons Learned Planting Palette: Replanted in 2014 using coastal Mid-Atlantic species Herbaceous plants under 3 Denser planting No mulch End Result: Plants are thriving in sandy soils and tolerant of salt exposure
47 Does It Ever Go Wrong? Getting It Right: Lessons Learned Sediment Forebays: Designed using stone cobbles to dissipate the energy of the flow and capture sediment Very difficult to maintaincobbles must be removed and cleaned to remove sediment Only weeds grow in sediment accumulation
48 Does It Ever Go Wrong? Getting It Right: Lessons Learned Remove stone cobbles and replace with poured concrete sediment forebay with energy dissipater Sediment can be removed from forebay with a flat-edged shovel Build up is highly visible and easy to maintain
49 What Have We Learned So Far? 1. Choose appropriate plant material. 2. Consider the impact of surrounding surface areas. 3. Design with maintenance in mind. 4. Try new technologies and techniques. 5. Inspect regularly. 6. If a system isn t working, find out why. 7. Finding the $ to fix a problem after installation is often much more difficult than funding it in the first place.

54 What Else Are We Doing? Public Education Brochures and Factsheets
55 What Else Are We Doing? Public Education Brochures and Factsheets Wolf Museum Residential Demonstration Project As part of the Green Infrastructure (GI) plan the City of Lancaster encourages property owners to manage the, first flush, first 1-inch of rainfall on their property and not allow it to discharge to the combined sewer. The use of GI to reduce pollution and erosive flows supports the attainment of the Watershed Implementation Plan for the Chesapeake Bay and to improve water quality in the Conestoga River. The Wolf Museum demonstrates methods that support the GI plan and function as a model for future projects. The Lancaster County Conservancy in partnership with the Wolf Museum, adjacent property owners, and neighborhood volunteers used multiple methods such as rain barrels, a rain garden, and dry creek to address storm water runoff coming from and onto the Wolf Museum property. CREATING A RAIN GARDEN A Rain barrels connected to rain garden A B Digging out the rain garden Mixing the soil, sand and compost Figure 1 Downspout A is fed by approximately 1,500 sq ft. of roof surface; during a 1 inch rain storm this would equal 938 gallons of water The location of 2 Rain Barrels and the Rain Garden addresses runoff from Downspout A. The rain garden was installed at least 10 from the foundation, in line with the downspout and slope to intercept the rooftop water. The rain garden was excavated to a depth of and filled with a mixture of 40% topsoil from the site, 40% sand, and 20% compost for improved infiltration. Rain garden mulched and planted
56 What Else Are We Doing? Education and Outreach Internet Branding and Social Media
57 What Else Are We Doing?
58 That s Great, But. Image credit: constructible.trimble.co.uk
59 How Do We Pay for It All? Stormwater Utility (Fee) implemented in 2014 $ Equity: fees are determined based on amount of impervious area - ALL properties pay; $ Reduces reliance on general fund; $ Stable and reliable funding source. $ Credits available for a property s on-site treatment of impervious area. Applications must be renewed every 2 years with inspection to ensure proper maintenance and continued function Grants/Loans/Innovative Funding Mechanisms Clean Water State Revolving Funds/PennVest PennDOT Liquid Fuels Program PennDOT Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE) Program Smart Growth Transportation Program (SGT), Lancaster County MPO PA DEP Growing Greener PA DCNR - Dirt and Gravel Roads Maintenance Program National Fish and Wildlife Foundation - Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund Chesapeake Bay Trust Green Streets Green Jobs Green Towns CROWDFUNDING!
60 In Summary 1. Political support and public education are integral early in process. 2. MESSAGE 3. Engage diverse partners and stakeholders often. 4. Funding strategies INTEGRATED PROGRAM MANAGEMENT 5. GRANTS 6. Inspection is critical. 7. A responsible party must be identified and held accountable for continued operation and maintenance. 8. Learn from your mistakes. 9. Learn from others mistakes and successes. 10. Innovate!
