Project Title:
To Examine the Effectiveness of Low-impact Development (LID) in Storm Water Management
Sponsoring Office:
OSWP, WPD, Region III
Project Overview:
The student, under the direction of Office of States and Watersheds Partnerships (OSWP) staff and with other governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGO) partners, will work on low-impact development (LID) projects in relation to storm water issues and incorporate findings into a watershed approach. The region is promoting a "green" perspective to preserve diminishing environmental resources. The student will work with local governments and other agencies to conduct research on LID projects throughout the U.S., primarily projects applicable to environmental situations in Region 3. The student will examine the current storm water management activities in the region to determine if LID applications could improve the effectiveness of storm water projects. Applicants should have some experience in either environmental science or civil engineering and some basic field experience in watersheds.
Project Goals:
The student will gain experience communicating with local governmental units and other agencies, and learn about LID and storm water issues.
Final Product of the Project:
The student will develop a report of LID techniques within the watershed approach and present this or her findings to Region 3 staff involved with storm water issues and remedial activities.
Project Location:
EPA Region 3, Philadelphia, PA
