ESDC for Green Infrastructure

The project includes locations at ten sites, including five elementary schools in the City of Camden. Coordination with school principals and the contractor was of utmost importance in order to minimize or eliminate any disruption to school activities, parking in and around the schools, and to minimize any changes to the flow of traffic including school buses during the construction of the rain gardens.

Sites 1 and 2 – Bonsall School
Trees and Plants were installed to introduce more vegetation to the City; Downspout Planter Boxes and Stormwater Planter Curb were constructed to collect rainwater to feed plantings and also reduce the amount of stormwater entering the City’s combined sewer system; and a Porous Asphalt Parking Lot was constructed, allowing rain to percolate through the asphalt and recharge the ground soil, rather than contributing additional stormwater to the combined sewer system.

Site 3 – Broadway Triangle
Trees and Plants were installed to introduce more vegetation to the City; Stormwater Planter Curb was constructed to collect rainwater to feed plantings and also reduce the amount of stormwater entering the City’s combined sewer system; ADA Compliant curb ramps were installed to accommodate pedestrians.

Site 4– Iglesia Church
Trees and Plants were installed to introduce more vegetation to the City; a Porous Asphalt Parking Lot was constructed, allowing rain to percolate through the asphalt and recharge the ground soil, rather than contributing additional stormwater to the City’s combined sewer system; installation of a Pervious Concrete Sidewalk that allows rain to percolate through the concrete sidewalk and recharge the ground soil; and ADA Compliant curb ramps were installed to accommodate pedestrians.
