The human impact on land development has affected the natural hydrological cycles
9. SummaryThis is a development that is transforming 50 acres of permeable native lands into impermeable areas. The Clean Water Act require that the rainfall landing on the site be treated, contained and released into the natural environment in a controlled manner. To achieve this three very distinct methods were use. The designer took a holistic approach to meet the CWA needs. Immerging technologies were proposed, Target accepted and Costco declined. A one method approach would not have been economically or environmentally feasible. If all of the stormwater had to go to a retention pond more land would have had to been used and the whole site would have to been raised to accommodate drainage. This was not acceptable to anyone. The design team provided the developers and owners with alternative solutions to mitigate stormwater and maximize the use of land. The methods chosen were a combination of the best alternative available and fiscal responsibility. In the end this is the essence of the Clean Water Act and Low Impact Development, a balance of economic and environmentally friendly solutions.
