| Abstract: | This paper describes the innovative stormwater management approach that the Marine Corps Air Station New River is implementing towards stormwater management. The installation is using a combination of Low Impact Development retrofits, stream restoration, and pollution prevention, to address stormwater peak flow mitigation, water quality improvement, and reduction of inflows into the wastewater system. The improvements include bioretention facilities to retrofit parking lot, stormwater planters to treat roof runoff, naturalization of concrete channels, stormwater diversions, changes in operating procedures, and signage and education to minimize contaminants entering the waterways. The improvements installed are being used as educational opportunities for base personnel as well as for the surrounding community. |
