2016-17 DROPS Grant-Funded Engineering Project at

La Costa Heights: Parking Lot

SWPPP intern inspects construction progress at La Costa Heights
Student interns at La Costa Heights studied the stormwater runoff on their campus and noticed oil and grease from the parking lot draining directly into the storm drain. The interns proposed a structural Best Management Practice to use a bioretention basin to filter runoff before it leave the campus. With the help of the DROPS award from the California Water Board, the school district approved construction of this BMP which was completed in May 2017.
