Williamston High School Retrofit Project

This project sought to install low impact development practices on the site of Williamston High School in Martin County, NC. The integrated management practices installed included: cistern, grassed swale, vegetative buffer, bioretention area, rain gardens and permeable pavement. The practices were installed to treat runoff from the school site before it enters the Roanoke Basin watershed. The practices are used to educate students, officials, and citizens of the importance of integrated management practices and how they can be used at the residential and commercial levels to treat runoff.
