TRANSCRIPT
Purpose
• The U.S. EPA’s Office of Water is announcing the 3rd annual Campus RainWorks Challenge for university students.
• Student team will collaborate with a faculty advisor to design an innovative green infrastructure project for a location on their campus.
• For our green infrastructure project we choose to create a retention pond on Southeastern’s campus.
Objective
• To design and construct a retention pond on Campus using run-off water from Washington and Livingston Residential Halls.
• For environmental, economical, and educational purposes.
• Reflect extensive consultation with Southeastern planning department to assess project feasibility.
Procedure
• Meetings with faculty members (Mr. Ken Howe & Carlos Doolittle).
• Identify location for retention pond.
• Take survey of the area.
• Establish water sources (Washington & Livingston Residential Halls).
• Storage tank size and material.
Rain Water Run-off Calculations
• Average annual Rainfall for location: 62.72”
• Total surface area of rain water collection: 13,386SQ.FT.
• Annual rain water run-off: 523,368 gallons.
Retention Pond
• Length: 160’
• Width: 140’
• Depth: 5’
• Total volume: 840,000 gallons
• Will include vegetation
Storage Tanks
• We will be using two 5100 gallon tanks per Residence Hall.
• Total storage volume is 20,400 gallons.
Deliverables (Spring 2014)
