Responsibility
• Meeting regulatory
requirements
represents a minimum.
• Adhering to global,
voluntary standards
further protect our
employees, customers,
other stakeholders,
and our reputation.

The revitalization of the Rouge project is a
terrific opportunity to demonstrate
sustainability by transforming the icon of
20th century industrial manufacturing into
the model of a 21st century sustainable
manufacturing center. It will also be a very
visible testament to Ford's commitment to
environmental leadership and social
responsibility.

Four Interacting Perspectives
• Regulatory – Storm Water/TMDL Drivers
• Sustainable Development
• Industrial Redevelopment Site
• On-Going Business Operation
![Page 11: The Ford Green Roof 10 Years and Growing · PDF fileThe Ford Green Roof 10 Years and Growing Strong ... Phase I Design Elements ... •Additional Structural loading](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022419/5a7948ed7f8b9ac3268b8c81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Current Site Considerations
• Facility Protection – Prevent flooding of facilities during a 100-year
storm event
• Minimize Ecological Impacts of Development – Natural watershed emulation for water quality and
hydrology
– Exceed regulatory requirements
• Industrial Site Contraints – Avoid excavation and infiltration
• Cost-Effective Implementation – Develop sustainable strategies that minimize
installation and operation costs

Innovative Concepts and New Tools for
Stormwater Management
• Vegetated roof provides hydraulic buffering and runoff volume reduction
• Storage-dominated system lowers cost of conveyance piping and treatment units by decreasing peak flows more than ten-fold;
• Constant-discharge weir controls the linkage between porous storage and stormwater treatment wetlands (patentable elements);
• Treatment wetlands provide the ability to reach aggressive water quality improvement goals;
• Use of sustainable practices is maximized.

Green Roof Advantages
• Integral to Storm water Management program – Stormwater runoff volume reduction – Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
reduction
• Extends Roof Life • Cools Building Interior in Summer • Insulates Building Interior in Winter • Provides Habitat for Birds and
Insects • Oxygen / Carbon Dioxide Exchange • Urban Heat Island Effect • Aesthetics • LEED – USGBC • Noise Reduction

Design Considerations
• Additional Structural loading.
– Intensive 25 to 250psf
– Extensive 10 to 25psf
• Roof Membrane/Water Proofing
– Liquid waterproofing
– Built up or Modified Bituminous
– PVC / Thermoplastics single ply
– TPO/ FPO single ply

Design Considerations
• Green Roof System
– Root Barrier
– Drainage layer
– Water absorption layer
– Growing medium
– Plant material
• Irrigation

Why Xero Flor?
• Lightweight system – less than 11 lbs/sq ft
• Thin substrate layer minimizes weed growth
• System can be grown at ground level and
transported to the roof like sod

Study Results
• 2010 Plant Coverage Study – 13 of 15 original species thriving
– 93 to 98 percent coverage of hearty vegetation
• 2009 Roof Structure Study – Vegetated portion showed no leaks
– Roof membrane under vegetated cover showed less deterioration than conventional roof sections
• 2005 Water Study – Retains over 40% of storm water
runoff as compared to the conventional roof sections
– Overall system reduces TSS by 85%
– Emulates natural watershed

The Next Industrial Revolution
Begins
"This is not environmental philanthropy; It is sound business,
which, for the first time, balances the business needs of
auto manufacturing with ecological and social concerns in
the redesign of a brownfield site”
