  1. Managing Storm Water In the Martin Hall Area Kevin Kulik

  2. Goal of Project: To increase infiltration of storm water as well as reducing its discharge by controlling its flow in the Martin Hall area into a rain garden as well as permeable pavement.

  3. Area of Restoration

  4. Site of future Rain Garden

  5. Reference Rain Garden:Greenville’s Cleveland Park http://www.clemson.edu/extension/county/greenville/programs/horticulture/raingarden.html

  6. Benefits of the Rain Garden: • Increase infiltration of storm water to effectively recharge the groundwater • Reduces storm water discharge which leads to erosion of land • Shown to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous levels that often come with rain water • Bring a diversity of plants to Clemson’s Campus • Support butterflies

  7. Site of Permeable Pavement:

  8. Test site for soil conditions as well as infiltration rate.

  9. Benefits of Permeable Pavement: • Increase infiltration of storm water to effectively recharge the groundwater • Reduces storm water discharge which leads to erosion of land • Removes 82-95% of sediments • 65% of phosphorous • 80-85% of total nitrogen

  10. Costs • Permeable Pavement: $15,000 • Equipment: $1,800 • Rain Garden Plants and Soil: $1,000 • Building Permit: $1,000 • Volunteers: Priceless • Total: $18,000
