Project Summary:

Bioretention areas and a rain garden were installed to reduce stormwater runoff from roads and parking areas and prevent impacts to nearby playing fields.

Project Narrative:

At the Fort Barton Elementary School a bioretention system was installed to collect  and treat runoff from entrance road drop-off/pickup areas, preventing direct flow and  impact to the nearby athletic fields. A rain garden located beside the parking lot was also installed. VHB provided preparation of the Rhode Island Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program.
