EDI Storm Water Projects
Innovative Storm Water Management Examples:
Frankfort Public Safety Parking:
This parking lot was created as part of a stormwater compliance initiative
by the City of Frankfort, Kentucky, by tearing-down an older building and
re-developing the site as a parking area. The pervious concrete parking
surface captures and infiltrates the rain water that falls on its area,
completely eliminating runoff from the parking lot. The project received
the 2009 Project of the Year Award for Storm Water Improvements from the
Kentucky Chapter of the American Public Works Association.
Two-tiered parking area, Pervious Concrete parking surface.
An Infiltration Basin was constructed beneath the parking area.
Wilmore Walk:
In this urban redevelopment project, a combination of Bio-Retention
Rain Gardens and Permeable Concrete Pavement treats over 92% of the
new impervious surface storm drainage, with no loss of buildable space.
Bio-Retention Rain Gardens:
Pervious Concrete Parking / Infiltration Basin:
Jetton Park:
This low impact development project uses Rain Gardens to pre-treat
most runoff. Infiltration basins (1 garden & 1 pond) capture the
first-flush pollutants. This combination reduced the size of the
detention pond by 45%.
