HENV-707: Residential Stormwater Site Assessment
Amanda A. Gumbert, Lee Moser | Apr. 22, 2022 (New)
Urban areas can impact both the quality and quantity of water in local waterways. Homeowners can help protect water resources by utilizing stormwater management practices on their property. These practices, sometimes called green infrastructure or Low-Impact Development (LID) practices, aim to manage stormwater where it is generated instead of sending it into a storm sewer system. To select the best practices for residential settings it is important to make a site assessment.

Carmen Agouridis, Amanda A. Gumbert, Joe Luck, Lee Moser, Jonathan Villines | Apr. 22, 2022 (New)
Urban areas are characterized by impervious surfaces such as roads, driveways, sidewalks, and building roofs. Stormwater occurs when precipitation runs off these impervious surfaces. Stormwater can present both water quality and water quantity issues in urban watersheds. Water quality of local waterways is threatened when stormwater carries pollutants to streams and rivers; increased water quantity in these local waterways can damage streambanks, cause flooding, and create more water quality problems.
HENV-710: Sanitary Sewer Overflows: Lexington, KY Remedial Measures and Helpful Tips
Amanda A. Gumbert, Lee Moser | Apr. 22, 2022 (New)
A sewer system is an underground network of pipes that carries sewage and wastewater from homes and businesses to a treatment plant. There are two types of sewer systems. Modern sanitary sewer systems are designed to be a separate network of pipes and infrastructure from those that manage stormwater; these are known as separate sanitary sewers. Some municipalities still have combined sewers that manage both sanitary sewage and stormwater in the same pipes; these are known as combined sewers.
