精品成人福利在线 operates under the the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Public Complex Stormwater General Permit, which authorizes the discharge of stormwater from large publicly owned complexes such as colleges, universities, prisons and hospital complexes.<\/p>\n
In order to remain in compliance with this permit and the associated regulations, the University is required to maintain a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) which ensures that the University is following best practices in its daily operations to keep pollutants out of our stormwater system. These best practices cover a variety of areas in Facilities such as construction, vehicle fueling & washing, outdoor storage of materials such as ice melting products or mulch, employee training, and more.<\/p>\n

Stormwater Management<\/h2>\n
Stormwater management is the effort to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff and to improve the quality of the water that makes its way to our water sources.<\/p>\n
Types of Stormwater Infrastructure<\/h3>\nGray Infrastructure<\/h4>\n
Gray infrastructure generally focuses on collecting rainwater and sending it downstream to ultimately be discharged into a waterway. This type of infrastructure includes design features such as culverts, gutters, storm sewers, and conventional piped drainage.<\/p>\n
Green Infrastructure<\/h4>\n
Rather than focusing on the transportation of runoff, green infrastructure often mimics the natural processes of the water cycle<\/a>.<\/p>\nDespite the name, green infrastructure doesn’t have to be vegetated; it can include designs incorporating pervious pavement and sand filters that use the soils to reduce runoff and treat pollutants, or rain barrels and cisterns that store rainwater for later reuse. Learn more and see examples from across the country.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nExamples of Green Infrastructure on Campus<\/h3>\n![\"CELS](\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/facilities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2017\/10\/CELS-3.jpg.0.1x.generic.jpg\")
<\/div>Rain Garden at CELS<\/h3>\n
The Center for Environmental and Life Sciences (CELS) has a rain garden installed in front of the building on either side of the main entrance. The garden holds rain water, slowing it’s release and allowing the garden’s plants to take in as much as possible.
\nStop by and see it in action the next time rain is in the forecast!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>Permeable Pavers by Morehead Hall<\/h3>\n
If you’d like to see an example of permeable pavers, visit the area between Morehead and Cole Halls. These pavers are also known as grass pavers because grass grows in their open spaces. The open spaces allow stormwater to be absorbed into the ground while still\u00a0 providing a firm structure for emergency vehicle access.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>Green Roof at CELS<\/h3>\n
The Center for Environmental and Life Sciences (CELS) has a green roof installed on the 3rd floor terrace.
\nConstructed with sedum mats, this feature absorbs stormwater, allows for evapotranspiration of stored water, adds insulation to the building roof, and provides a scenic study site and retreat for building occupants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
