2007 Highlights

Collaboration

UNHSC is collaborating with numerous private and public organizations to help implement innovative stormwater management solutions for communities throughout New England.
Here are Some Highlights:

  • With UNHSC support, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation constructed two pilot gravel wetland treatments to help meet TMDL requirements for impaired waters as part of the Interstate 93 widening project. If successful, these innovative systems could be included in the more than 50 stormwater basins slated for installation along I-93 in the future.

  • In collaboration with Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO), UNHSC built an inventory of innovative stormwater strategies that have been installed in New England. The inventory provides local examples of innovative designs that will be useful for anyone considering use of these techniques in the future. Learn more at http://www.erg.unh.edu/lid/index.asp

  • A pervious concrete demonstration facility was built on the UNH campus in summer 2007, thanks to the joint efforts of UNH, the Northern New England Concrete Promotion Association, East Coast Excavating, and PCI Systems.
